Twisted4000's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Opium Cop]

Your line-work, shading, and overall animation is very clean and well-crafted, which is what I love about all your stuff, but this one in particular wasn't really funny to me, and like what nikkz said, nothing really built up to anything. I also have to say it was pretty vague as well. Will always look forward to your future videos, but this one was kinda just a speed-bump in the road to me.

[The Hungah Gayums]

Well some parts were animated decently, but most of the time, I dunno, the physics were just off. I mean yeah it doesn't need to be 100% realistic, that's fine, but it just wasn't pleasing to look at. The motions, especially the close-ups of their faces moving around... the force behind the movements just didn't add up with them. It was very disrupting to the animation flow.

The colors had very little harmony, but I can see you were going for that sort of limited-spectrum look, which is cool-looking IF it is done right. I can't begin to explain how many people go for that coloring style and just fail at it (it's what most people call the "Egoraptor Style", but I don't choose to call it that because he wasn't really the one who like INVENTED it or anything, he just happens to use it). When it showed that old guy it looked okay on his face, the shade of pink you used worked decently with the color of his skin, but other characters just looked wrong. Like they had this brown-pink color with a brown purple to shade it, and both colors were on the same general brightness level. Shading needs to be DARKER than the original color, not just a different color. At one time the shading was actually BRIGHTER, it was just wrong to me.

At some parts I see there were lots of details and wrinkles in the faces, which, again, is funny if it's done correctly. But most of the time it just looked like a bunch of random thin lines with no real set facial pattern. Again, this is another issue I see a lot of people have in their animations.

In conclusion for the visuals, they were okay, I mean they weren't super BASIC, I'll give you that, but it kinda just seems like you can't yet handle the style you're attempting to jump after. Do something that is in your grasp and that you are knowledgeable of. It's almost like trying to cook some fancy dish, but you haven't yet perfected how to actually make it, but you make it anyway, then you end up with something... kinda like it, but tastes half as good? I would rather have a more SIMPLE meal that at least TASTES good and like it's supposed to because it was prepared correctly. I dunno, that's sort of just an analogy that popped into my head, hope you understand.

As far as humor and writing, it didn't even really make me chuckle. Too many memes, very forced.

If you really want to animate in that style, please at least PRACTICE before hopping right on it and ATTEMPTING to do it. I hope this is helpful.

ZenithQuinn responds:

It's no masterpiece! :) I could have put more time into the art, but I just wanted to get rid of it and start something new.

I wanna make a little snarky, witty joke so I can get marked as helpful!!!!!!!

But seriously, really nice animation, it's very fluent and there's a soft ease effect after movements, which is very pleasing to look at. Your voice is very sexy as well omg

[No Another Pokemon Parody]

Well that was actually pretty impressive.

The biggest thing this had going for it was the animation, most of the time it was pretty nice. However, there was just something about it that was off-putting... literally every few seconds the quality of it just kept flipping back-and-forth from great to just gloppy and strange. Very inconsistent. But it's not TOO too much to complain about, considering most animation around here that I see is just tweeny and bad. Looking at something more like this is pretty refreshing. Colors were okay as well.

As for actual content it really didn't do too much for me. It was just another Pokemon thing. Battle scene kinda failed to impress me since it was really just one attack that made the screen flash, which is extremely common in most battle scenes these days. Voicing was okay in some areas but sorta sub-par in others, it really wasn't anything special.

But it was a good effort and it does look like it took a long time so I'll give you a 4. Just work on consistency in the animation is all.

AngelXMIkey responds:

Yeah most of this was frmae by frame animation. Thanks for your Cnc it was really good and I will take what you said and apply it to my next animation ;D

[Lazy Writing 6]

I didn't find it super funny most of the time but I liked the animation, the characters moved around a lot and it wasn't boring to look at. One issue though is that I think the voices need some variety, I know you're voicing all of them pretty much but you might wanna work on your range a bit. :P Other than that though it wasn't bad.

[CJ Flies A Plane]

Loved the line-work, coloring, and smooth animation, awesome job, but it was so short!! Just make a video at this quality but longer and you have a home-run.

[Bongo Time Travel]

I really enjoyed this.

Wow... you... actually have your OWN style of animation?? It's not just another attempted-rip-off of another person? WOOOAH!!!

But seriously I loved the animation. Line-work wasn't the best but the animation was fluent and worked-out. Colors were nice. It was funny, a huge variety of characters. Nice voice-acting as well, excellent work.

coughing-dog responds:

Thanks! It was a bit rushed so the linework was fairly rough.

[Eternal Saturday]

Woooooah.

Alright that was REALLY well-done. First off, the style was pretty simple and it semi-reminded me of Adventure Time. The colors were very fluorescent and nice to look at. I loved the animation, it smooth and fun to watch. At a lot of parts I just found myself laughing.

I loved the way all the creatures and characters were designed, it was all just so strange and hilarious to me. Plus that Bill Cosby part at the end was just the greatest thing I've seen in forever. Overall I loved it, very interesting style and simple fun to watch. FUN TO WATCH = the whole point of watching a cartoon in the first place.
