LittleLuckyLink's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[I wish I had a car...]

Now this is the content I live for. I've watched this like 40 times at this point.

[Aspen is chilling]

Not a bad start, I like the atmosphere that was created. I feel like the wind animation could use some easing up though- it seems a bit jerky and makes it look a lot windier than it probably is. This is mostly apparent when the fire is on the screen, as the fire seems to be burning with little to no interruption from the wind. Keep it up though, like I said, there was a good sense of atmosphere. I liked the overhead views with the shadows of the clouds at the beginning.

HapiToons responds:

Thank you for the advice, I am striving to improve my craft. I'll write these down on my notes, again thank you and have a good day :)

[IT'S BATH TIME]

Interesting.. I'm really digging the animation style here, and especially the different perspective shots.

FrankyWish responds:

thank you! i rly had fun with the BGs and camera here

[very small animation w/ bandee idk]

Ahoi! Sorry to hear about your lost motivation, but it's good to see you were able to pull this together. Unfortunately, I'm obligated to judge this as an animation in the Flash portal, and as a very short loop, it doesn't score too high for me. Might I recommend looking into converting this to a .gif and uploading it to the art portal instead? The art portal is a lot more suitable for short loops such as this, and it might be possible to get more feedback or traffic.
As for the animation itself- not bad at all! In fact, it looks a pretty good. I see what you mean by the wobbles within the brush tool- it may be helpful to play around with some of the smoothing options by selecting the brush tool, and then navigating the properties panel. (For me, this was always either a panel on the side or bottom of the window, the same panel that you can make quick adjustments to file info such as the stage size.) Despite the wobbles, the animation has a fair bit of charisma to it, and otherwise looks smooth in movements. This is especially present in how you animated the eyes.

Anyway, for some more info and potentially feedback, I might suggest checking out the forums here. Definitely look into converting this as a .gif and uploading it to the art portal. Short loops like this in the flash portal tend to get deleted, which can be disheartening. Creating small things has always helped me with my loss of motivation, as to get something done quickly. Keep it up, and best of luck to you!

ninikins responds:

Thank you so much for this! I'm going to convert this into a .gif now and also experiment with the smoothing option (which I didn't know was always there)

[NEXUS: HANK RAID trailer]

Looks epic! Animation is nice and smooth all around. I really liked the bit where Hank finished reloading the other guy's weapon and killed him with it after pushing him down and taking it. Will definitely check this out!

KJtheguyyouknow responds:

The collab is actually going to be released very soon!!! And thanks for the warm compliment <3333 you can expect much from this collab I bet you :DD

[Lamar roasts Franklin but it's animated on a DSi]

Y-You made this on a Nintendo DSi..?
I could have misinterpreted that, but either way, I wanted to comment to say that this was pretty funny. I've taken a liking to this meme as of late, and despite watching hundreds of variations, I do enjoy this one. The facial expressions and body movements were very charismatic and animated pretty well. I liked the pixel style a bit more than I thought I would, too! The lip-syncing was also done very well. Keep it up!

[Madness Rabble]

Not half bad, especially for your first Madness flash. There are definitely a few moments that get pretty choppy, and sometimes the recoil on the guns doesn't look quite right (namely the pistol shots.) Despite the fact that the animation has some choppy bits, I actually really like what you're going for with their walk cycles- it's unique and adds some extra 'flair' to the style. Your background in stop-motion is the foundation for this, and clearly you're on the right track, just seems like you need to work through the kinks of the software a little bit and get the hang of it.

Other than that, the trope of random shootups gets old really fast, but I'd be pretty curious to see the idea you mentioned in the description of the animation style changing up once the improbability drive is activated. I had a similar Madness/Clay idea many years back but never brought it to life. I would definitely suggest honing your skills in Flash- you've already got a pretty good head start, and I'd be excited to see more in the future!

[Luigi What's that?]

I always loved Luigi's voicing in that clip. Everything about this was great. Thank you.

[It - The Beginning (a Pennywise story) Trailer]

Nice! Had me chuckling, very good voice work, especially Pennywise. Keep it up!

[INTERMISSION 1: Captive]

Awesome. Very smooth and satisfying to watch. Nice creative kills and a good atmosphere- I agree with your decision to use ambience instead of music. You did great with the sound effects, and it's nice to hear the sound work shine.
