DannyP's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kaiblade Episode 4]

Could use some fine-tuning

It was pretty good, though I don't get it entirely since I haven't seen any of the other episodes yet. The animation was pretty cheap overall, but I liked that you drew them in different poses when characters were shown talking again rather than just recycling the first talking drawing. I think you should do some shading to increase the overall quality.
Some of the drawings were inconsistent and certain animation sequences didn't quite look smooth/natural. For example, that skull pin on that chick's hair was missing at one point. I dunno, some of it just looked like you might've rushed, but I suppose that might be a good idea. Better to get episodes released than not at all due to being picky over details.

Voice actors were pretty good. The song at the end should fade out rather than stop abruptly.

It's cool that you're making a little series like this.

CartoonCoffee responds:

-There was some shading, more so in the begining but as the project dragged out I felt it was taking to long and just decided to get it done.
-And i'm aware that there was inconsistency. That was mainly because I was experiment they way I wanted the characters to look.
-Unfortunately for the skull pin i often forget about that accessory

Thanks for the review

[Duality Complete]

Cool

Smooth animation, nice backgrounds. Cool style overall. Not much else to say; it seems like you know what you're doing.
The file size, reduced quality, and lack of preloader are sorta unfortunate.

Weenog responds:

yeah, it is unfortunare... turns out having it converted from an mp4 lowers the quality lots.
thanks for the review.

[A Present From Me to You]

Funny

There could be some more detail in the backgrounds and maybe just in general, especially since it's so short. It was funny, though. I sure didn't see that coming.

Ashmic responds:

thanks but judging from all the horrible comments im not even submitting anything anymore, that nidorina1 and sepphtmage did it, im so, fuck it i don't even wanna be on newgrounds anymore thanks for being nice i guess

[Link he comes to town]

Mhmm...

I like the idea behind it, but it is rather poorly made/not too entertaining. Not that I'd recommend doing a better job since there really are way too many of these... I'm not sure what to say in this situation.

thesticler responds:

The idea behind it was to make fun of how many of these there are. the graphics are bad, als oto make fun of the newbs who make these, well atleast you didnt blam it ^^

[Gramma]

Lazy art and such

I was somehow expecting better since you made Hell for Bread, but I laughed a little, anyways. I think it's cool that you would make something like this out of boredom... I'm usually very unmotivated when I'm bored and don't do anything remotely productive.

tcoffin responds:

lol, i'm sorry man, i hope you don't think less of me. :P

but if it makes you feel better i'm working on Johnny Salem Episode 3 as we speak. That should be better than this piece of crap. :D

[Jack & The Beanstalk]

really boring to watch.

There was little to no animation

And the voices were shit.

If you're gonna spend no time animating, you could have at least done better drawings. The jokes didn't fly well with the emotionless computer voices and the so-called "animation", plus there was a complete absence of wit. I hope you get a poor grade for this spam crew level thing.

[Vete a la Versh 15]

Decent

Sorta funny. Seems a bit odd that the computer wasn't plugged into anything, though. It's also unusual that the ceiling is so high.

Darkar responds:

Even more unusual is the fact that there are people taking cartoons so seriously.

[My Problem with Shmups]

Very good

I never did consider what the hell they were thinking... or the enemy ship was just some kind of alien or other organic being (like in Life Force). Anyhow, pretty funny. I enjoyed it.
The drawings were pretty decent, the lip syncing was good. The characters lacked a bit of liveliness since you were mostly just tweening their limbs around, but I think you did it well overall with how you made the bodies move and made the captain do gestures.
There were two main problems with the art. The lack of shading and the lack of detail in the enemy ship (such as computers and other fancy, high tech looking things). Other than that, very good.

Masterwabbit responds:

Thanks for the critique, it's really important to me. Glad to know that in between all the astonishing praise this is getting, there's room for improvement. I agree that I really do need to work on shading and doing more with the animation beyond "tween this to here smoothly". Happy you enjoyed it, at least :D

[Goldenclocks Meltdown]

Not worth watching

Barely qualifies as an animation, but I'm sure you know that. Quite frankly, I'm confused as to why you didn't just make the background and song loop. I doubt people will watch long enough to see the one other drawing you made. I only glanced back now and then while listening to the song and doing other stuff.

k3ltr0n responds:

I MADE THIS FOR MY OWN ENJOYMENT AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOLDENCLOCK

[Hell for Bread]

Awesome

Well made, good use of sound effects, and good humour. And you pulled it off without swearing up a storm, having slutty characters, making fun of specific groups, making a parody of some popular series, or anything like that. Good show.
That really, really sucks about the corruption. One of my movies also got corrupted right when it was around 95% done... and I just dropped it. I didn't wanna piss around with poor quality and inserting the few missing frames, plus I still had to do some final touches on some of the earlier frames... That never happened to me until December 2009, and then it continued to happen on occasion. I've been making frequent backups of my movies ever since the first incident. Anyhow, great job.

tcoffin responds:

Gah, that sucks dude, sorry to hear that.

but i'm glad you liked my movie so much! and thanks for the fave too.
