[Guitar Battle]

Guitar Battle

-This is a great idea and all but it left a lot on the table. There were alot of things wrong animation & design wise. The clear use of many gradients was one, reusing of many symbols and line quality was my biggest problems with the design. From a animation stand point there wasn't a ton and most of it was ok, there was alot of camera movements to make up for actual animation. Also was every animation I did see it either look Rotoscoped or missing a few poses (All the walks). It does take less time to make it in this way but adding those extra frames of animation cleans everything up and makes it look a lot less rough around the edges.

-Don't know if you edited it while animating or after, but at any rate it was nice and the beginning with all the cut in worked very well. Also all the the close up on the guitar playing was very nice, and seemed to be synced well. I don't know if you play and were able to sync it that way or you just took a random guess, either way it worked. Also despite the lack of dialog you were able to tell a pretty good story, and you were able to even give it a moral at the end which was nice. Having some sort of point to an animation makes it so much better than if it was just some random guitar battle that made no sense.

-Now what I would like to see with the project if you chose to rework it. Shorten it, it got alittle long, and was rather tedious to come back to more of the same. If it was just the two battling with a little back story would have been better then the killing him off and he get revived part. Take out the dialog between his band mates didn't know who they were and their dialog, just work with expressions on the two. Lastly more angles on the battle the guitar playing seemed to have only three angles however most battles are crazy and jarring would have been nice to see many different angles.

[Ni99aPenguin: The Movie]

hahahahaha

Tom Cruise has never been in such a dramatic role that can really let him show off his flair and true sexyness like this movie. You should definitely have a sequel. You can't just leave me with such a big cliffhanger and not expect your viewers to want to see more.

Ni99apenguin the sequel: Coming soon to your local newgrounds

it's gonna be way bigger than this one

[Hard Love]

Well

It's the same sort of animation you've used before in previous movies. I ain't saying that's good or bad, but just sayin' the obvious. Most will either criticize or praise for this, but I'll do neither since each is easy. I will say that it's an emotional bit of work you've done and is unexpected from a guy who makes some very good and funny pieces. It's defintely a cutesy concept and kinda tugs the heartstrings, but I can't say I've had the pleasure of being so moved as others have or will by this. As always, I look to seeing what you're gonna do next and hope to see something new in a league with this. Although if it's something we've already seen, I'll still watch regardless.

[FF7: About Random Battles]

We will never know

Holy crap, what can I say that whole thing made me laugh, although the only thing that sucked (not ur guys fault) was the materias game curser for me, my mouse had trouble moving n it was all twitchy, but i was still determined to get the bonus movies so I did n it was pretty worth it just took me aa little longer :P :). I am glad you did it all on FF7 That made this movie even better :)

Review

I felt like I was sitting in Sunday school watching a clever & cute skit being performed by some guys with decent repute, except it's not really clever or cute, but I'm sitting there, thinking it's actually kind of stupid and nerdy, and I confused as to why all the kids around me are clapping really loudly over such an overtly geeky idea. Also, the down syndrome kid in the front row just vomited on the complimentary donuts. It's kind of like that.

[Such is Life...]

Great

Nice animation with an original story! This is the kind of stuff that we need more of: more humour from traditional story-telling instead of relying on pop culture/unrelated references for laughs. It's very well paced and I'm pretty sure with a lot more fine tuning in some of the animation, you could definitely send this in to some sort of animation festival.

[Charlie the Unicorn 3]

Great. Keep going.

My reason being for the eight is the same reason I watched this. Random comedy is great, when its used many times over it can be just as funny, even more funny, or just...Terrible. This is not an improvement over the past two, but in the same effect its not a lack in what made the first two humorous. I think this series has a winning formula and I'm glad you stick to it. You can't blame me for saying this but, I have my doubts, soon this will grow old and die unless something new is implemented. Look at another series with this much popularity and try and disagree with me. Neurotically Yours has lost its humor and is lying on its death bed, sure it has plenty of favorable fans but think of them as family to the series. No matter how withered away or how much it smells like shit, they still love it. I'm just saying don't let this winning formula go to waste. Thanks for entertaining me again.

[Charlie the Unicorn 2]

YES

This movie is much better than part one, once again, those crazy unicorns have something up to do Charlie, they go on an adventure to see the great banana king but Charlie doesn't realize he's the new banana king, after that charlie has been tricked and his t.v. was stolen by those psychotic unicorns... atleast they didnt steal another organ of him =P

[A Canvas And A Struggle]

Review

-I was hoping that the rest would be as cool as the beginning, but then it suddenly became dramatic in a couple of seconds. The concept itself was ok and i thought it had potential, but I don't understand why the abrupt change of mood was necessary. It's fine if you want to take a piss with modern art, but it couldve been done in a more subtle, maybe more mellow manner.

-It is great how you got people to think about the subject in the reviews though. I'm a big fan of modern art myself and it's interesting to see how people are so hung up about this classifying as art or not. The entire conclusion of modern art is that everything is art. I much rather see art as an open conceptual way of thinking, however bizarre it sometimes may be, than as a boring 'who can draw this landscape/human in the most realistic manner' contest.

Review

This really turned out to be a wonderful piece of work and really what has made it so good is the animation and the directing of scenes by you. The animation was just so smooth, my favorite scene was him being shot down, it looked terrific. The directing was also very well done, you were able to take a completely normal looking scene and turn it into something great by adding a twist, either it being from a tilt of the view or a zoom in on an object. The soft music suited this well. The portrait like still shot at the end was the perfect way to end this. The only thing that probably was lacking compared to the other categories was the plain character designs. Overall this was a very enjoyable watch.
