Twisted4000's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Swimmin with the Sharks]

Hilarious, really liked the animation style in this one, looked somewhat different from what you usually do, but it was welcoming and funny-looking.

[The Minecraft Community]

Let me reason here.

I'm totally fine with the point this video's trying to make, it has nothing to do with the score I'm giving it... but the video itself simply is not good. The drawings themselves aren't so great, but the animation... all they do is flail around a little bit when they talk, and their voices aren't even acted, just simulated.

Not for me...

[Leo & Satan IV]

As always, top-notch in every way... extremely nice-looking drawings, design, and line-work, smooth animation, using clever mixtures of tweens and frame-by-frame, good voice-acting, and, most importantly, hilarious and disturbing humor.

What most people I think tend to overlook in this series however is the fact that some parts are just absolutely stunning... TV-quality, if not more in some cases... the music is phenomenal, the background art is just stunningly incredible, AND you make some GREAT music to top it all off and put everything together.

I really, really hope I could do something at this quality someday, you are as EXTREMELY talented as you are funny.

[Megaman General Bubbleman]

I liked the animation style, it was fluent but not like buttery-smooth, which is probably my favorite look to a cartoon. Line-work was a tad rough, though. Not a huge deal altogether.

Obviously it was quite short, I was really hoping it would be like at least a minute long. Voice-acting wasn't so great, along with the mic quality itself. Not awful, though, which is fine in my book.

And as for the joke itself and all, there wasn't really a whole lot to anything... but then I read the description and I get it, it's a test animation. I guess that's alright, but for a movie itself, I wouldn't be particularly fond of it.

Just little tune-up tips from me to ya, because I absolutely love your animation style, but I feel you just need to work on the other factors that go into making a cartoon...

[Goldeen Loves Guitar]

Though I'm not a fan of anime at all, I have to say this had truly remarkable animation. I really liked the fact that you used full frame-by-frame drawings and didn't rely so heavily on motion tweens. Even though your cartoons are obviously inspired by anime, you have your own unique style to it. It doesn't look like you're trying so incredibly hard to copy it exactly, like I usually see in other anime-inspired animations...

Obviously the voice-work and humor were both good, but at times here-and-there I felt it kinda dragged a little bit. Not really a big deal, though. This is still probably my favorite cartoon of yours so far...

[Hairless]

Woah.

Once again, I really like your animation and drawings, very stylistic... obviously it was quite strange... but good. Also, Redfeather sounded really good, ha.

[Animation Critique]

Pretty nice, I do like your animation style, considering it's what I would call "actual animation" by re-drawing each frame for a character. My biggest critique on your animation is simply, here-and-there, proportions will be off, like a characters head will slightly grow or shrink in size when he/she was just turning it or looking in a direction or something. Not a huge deal, though, considering it beats all the motion tween garbage I see on this site all the time. I do like your style, it's nifty and unique. Your colors are nice as well.

I find your cartoons to sometimes be a bit on the "weaker" side... like I am not totally impacted by them, they have their own little quiet atmospheres or artistic style to them, but I always feel like I want more life in them. I guess another thing this lacked was audio quality, both in the microphone and the acting itself.

But, truth to be told, you have lots of heart, cleanliness, and cuteness in what you do, and it's very enjoyable to me. Most people go straight to either vulgar, horrible humor with lots of swearing sprinkled on it in an attempt to be funny, or just completely fail at being funny at all. Your videos seem like something that would make people want to smile, regardless of what's happening in them.

For your age, this is stunning, this is so mature and light-hearted, it has such a welcoming feeling to it. My hat goes off to you.

[Bridge Fight]

My microphone sucked back when I voiced for this. But the video itself definitly makes up for it, very clean line-work, nice shining and shading, pleasing colors, and, though I may say stiff at times, the animation was very good. Very nice job!

Also, if I might add, it's honestly quite enjoyable to watch a character you voiced scream and fall to his doom.

[Life In A Nutshell]

Good animation, pretty good line work, and pleasant coloring. Backgrounds were pretty good as well. The biggest thing this video has going for it though is probably the point it is trying to make, because it is so true.

The issues I had though... the audio. It was fuzzy when it got loud. This was probably because the quality of it was somewhat low when you published it, but I don't know for sure. Also, your voice acting... I like it, but when you yelled "nooo" it sounded kinda quiet, like the character wasn't really yelling. Another problem I had was the choice of some of the sound effects, like when he was walking and then when he fell on the ground, it was like a distorted, amplified BUFDM, I don't know, it just didn't match very well to me.

But overall, it was enjoyable and I liked it. Here's my little review breakdown thingy I like to do...

+Pretty nice frame-by-frame animation
+Cleanly-outlined, colorful art
+True point the cartoon is trying to make
-Not very good audio
-Short

FrostDrive responds:

I tried recording that "Noooooo" part probably 30 times and thought was the best I could do. I was finding it difficult to scream without peaking the audio.

and the sound effects, most are from super smash bros. brawl, I grabbed what seemed to fit. I think when I hit the ground I played a boot landing sound or something, so I see how it didn't exactly fit. :P

Thanks for the review, I'll be sure to work out my audio better next time.

[Bro'kemon]

That was hilarious! One of the few Flash cartoons that actually made me laugh-out-loud. It has some nice-looking animation as well, good job!
