EpikHellSword's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Happy 40th Pac-Man]

That was amusing. Excellent voice acting, iconic sound effects, great camera angle, and awesome character design. The only thing is the background. If you don't want to change the purple wall, the floor's color feels a bit bland. Regardless, stupendous job.

The background colors were bad? Thanks for telling me.

[Dance Practice Animation]

Cool camera angle used, I like the flashing lights, the music is pretty catchy, the background design, overall lighting, and shadows are well done, excellent job on the footwork, fantastic facial expressions, and the physics are impressive, especially the hair movement. Outstanding job.

[My CRAZY Camping Experience]

Iconic logo, great sound effects, complementary music, very fluid animation, fantastic facial expressions Terrific job! Loved your story!

[WarioWare Gold Reanimated Collab]

Love the classic cinema countdown used as well as the character appearing with it. Excellent music used, impressive use of different animation styles, magnificent character and background design, fluid animation, great voice acting, fantastic camera angles. Perfectly proportioned shadows and lighting, on point sound effects, and clean transitions. Slapstick work on the cameos, dialogue, and line delivery. Creative work with the animated tools such as the pencil into a rocket. Facial expressions were well done and the references were a nice touch.
Flawless work, this was fantastic!

[BLUNT WARS]

I see you have a classic intro. Complementary music, outstanding background design, I especially liked the effect 0of smoke coming in while the "Blunt Wars" logo appeared. Excellent camera angles, good sound effects used. The physics, lighting, and shadows were impressive and the line delivery was great. The parody names were simple, but splendid and memorable. The lip sync was perfect as well.
Overall, this was short, but definitely high quality. I love how you had so much quality in each scene.

[Pico day collab 2020]

Perfect intro, it really sets the classic Pico tone. It's rather clear this is a comedy from the first line. The different animation styles were complementary to this animation and I see that you used the classic background blur technique. I'm going to assume the microphone feedback effect was intentional. However, it does come off as ear rapey so you may want to watch out for that in later animations. The scene at 1:41 was okay, but the dialogue seemed to lack emotion and just got cringey as the line delivery seemed forced and unrealistic. Yes, I understand this is a comedy, but it doesn't seem natural or even exaggerated, just bland. In the Tom Fulp birthday scene, the lip sync was...not synced well, but seeing as this is a comedy, I'll let that slide. Nonetheless, the dialogue and lines were okay, but again, the microphone feedback breathing just ruined it. Now for the scene where Pico is staring at the computer. I like the background and character design as well as the facial expressions used and the music. The lines were complementary to the characters. That one was perfect. The next scene, the background was cool, the line delivery was great, the animation for the characters actions and facial expressions were excellent. I especially liked the pupils and how they reacted in correspondence to the line delivery. The credits scene was a cool compilation with lots of easter eggs.
Seeing as this is a comedy, I'll let lots of my critiques slide, the biggest things were really audio issues and some dialogue/lip sync errors. Other than that, this was well put together. Fantastic work!

[Offical Sonic RPG 10 - Trailer 2]

I'm very excited for the ending. Been following this series for over a decade now, and I love how adaptable flash animations have become. That being said, I still have to review this. Iconic background and character design, stellar work on the angles, love the cinematic music, spectacular sound effects. I especially love the reflections, shadows, and lighting of the castle. The facial expressions were a magnificent add in. And the animation has considerably improved while keeping the classic Sonic RPG vibe.
This series has never looked better! A classic series and possibly one of the last remnants of my childhood. This finale looks like it's going to be epic! (no pun intended)

[Sonic and Shadow: Super and Hyper Transformations]

Classic character sprite design, good sound effects used, beautiful background, corresponding facial expressions with emotions shown. The lighting effects are cool and I see you added a bit of originality to it as well. And the glow was definitely a nice touch. This was well done, however I felt the emotion was lacking. Music could support the feeling of intensity of the transformation.
Overall, it's awesome, you just need a soundtrack for each hedgehog to bring in the excitement.

Hmmmm... Thanks for the advice, And Yea, I am too lazy to add any music. ^^;

[2020 in a Nutshell: Early Animation]

Flawless background design, I really loved the wrinkles in that crumpled up paper, the music really sets the classical tone as well. The framing is well done and the character design is simple, yet quite enjoyable even though he looks like he's missing an arm and the pencil is floating in his hand. You did a terrific job balancing the lighting and shadows on him, The words fading in were well transitioned and the font is classic matching with the music. Good sound effects used as well. This really leaves me wondering what you have in store for the future of this animation.

[The One Piece Collab]

Outstanding music used, accurate background and character designs, hilarious voice acting. I really loved how you used different animation styles. I thoroughly enjoyed all the easter eggs and subtle references as well. Fantastic sound effects used and accurate facial expressions to go with them. This was especially well paced, being fast, but easy to follow. This is a very extensive movie to entertain all kinds of humor.
