EpikHellSword's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ariel's Serene Scene]

This is some beautiful animation. I like how Ariel's hair flows. And the music really complements the tone. The transition in the lighting was very smooth I didn't even notice it.

That being said the sea's movements look awkward. The sea and the clouds really juxtapose one another. However both of them and and the lines of the sea also eventually took my attention away from Ariel and Flounder because it shone so bright.

But great work regardless!

That's an interesting point but I have to admit I was inspired by LOZ the Wind Wakers ocean look so perhaps I got carried away and didn't balance the actual focal point which should be Ariel. It's something to think about for future pieces. Thanks for taking the time to let me know!

[See forugh facee]

Even though this is a shitpost it's clear you put a lot of effort implementing a few animation styles into it judging by the simple and juxtaposing complex designs. The animation is actually pretty fluid as well. There clearly is some kind of weird story going on where the guy sleeping is possessed or some shit

That being said adding some sound effects or music would greatly add to comedic effect or whatever story you are trying to tell. Especially if you cannot think of dialogue.

Oml my first comment tysmmmmm, I try do audio but it dint come through

[Bathroom night [OMORI]]

It's fluid animation with a great design but there's not much to offer. No music to set the tone, no sound effects to go with it, and overall there's really no emotion being transferred to the audience,

[Unknown.fla]

Classic madness stuff but nothing extraordinary.

[What NOT TO DO 2!]

I like the awkward way the stick figure's limbs moved.

That being said the animation itself isn't that funny, At all. Neither is the dialogue. There's no buildup to the joke, you probably used AI generator-which understandable if you can't get a VA but that would have really helped. If you made this and labeled it as spam then I would probably rate it higher.

I notice that the designs are detailed and stand out. Also the voice actors did a phenomenal job on this. Dunno if it was intentional for the guy to sound like Ron Swanson but that's a cool addition. The second to last line sounded like something he would say.

However at 0:25 the line was delivered a bit fast. I get why but if you do it at a faster pace but it should be loud enough to understand still.
At 0:32, the line was still delivered too fast I heard something about stirs and cuticles but not the whole thing.
At 0:42 I know the line is a whisper but the same problem occurs: It's too quiet for the audience to hear the line.

Your audience needs to understand the joke so you should pause in between in order for the joke a sink in instead of going from point A to B so fast. It's too much information to process in one second.

[Randy Park]

The buildup to the twist was fine even though it was predictable. Tbe music really added to it. I like the blend of art styles in this it was subtle but effective.

I question why the police officer's face hardened when looking at Randy but Randy's stayed the same. Obviously Randy instigated the challenge of road racing so his expression should have changed as well. Also Randy's mouth looks odd at 9 seconds. A simple smile or just widening his initial grin would have looked more natural.

[Pumpkins my beloved]

This is simple animation. I enjoy how fluid the movement is and the sparkle in her eyes to reflect her care for the pumpkin. I'll add half a star for the addition of the sparkle.

BloodMoonCrow responds:

aw shucks, thank you! yes yes, its just a simple thing for practice!
