M-Shack's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[ANDTD Tribute]

nice

Nice frame by frame, sprites AND sticks. It came out well but the ending was a lil blah. Good work. Only thing I would have liked to see was cleaner lines on the sticks instead of the shaky edges.

Scythe-NX responds:

I know sorry for the ending, ill make it up to you in my next one :) Sorry for the wobblyness!

[Pokemon: Fated Encounter]

nice stuff

I gotta say that I enjoyed the first one better. This one was pretty good, but I wasn't to fond of all of that shaky, quick camera movements, I usually prefer to see more of whats going on instead of it being suggested. Def some nice stuff, If you want to keep the graphics down, I would try to limit the use of glows and blurs because they really slowed down the viewing experience. I do need a new computer, but still, I rarely have trouble watching videos like this unless it's full of flash filters(Yes i watched it the way you said to try in firefox).

I think the 3rd one will be way better if you find an alternate way of showing a glow so it doesn't slow down the movie for most people. Or at least upload a quicktime version somewhere or the final thing to youtube/vimeo so people can view it without lag then come back and vote/leave comments. You got some good stuff, dont fall prey to all the fancy camera movements, they end up hiding your animation ability which seems to be pretty good.

Anyways good work and keep animating, it came out good, but i think you can do better with the next one.

Tyrant-D responds:

Yeah M-Shack nice review!! yes I made an even bigger mistake putting all this action into this one part. 4 minutes of non-stop pokemon massacre lol I will take your review into consideration. To me Fated Encounter has waaay to much action, almost like transformers 2 XD

I will make my next one "Pokemon: The Fated Dual" much like Fated Battle but with all round improvments. Thanks for giving me your intake

Your man Tyrant-D Over and Out!! XD

[School Assignment: Pirate]

uhh

It's just a loop. It doesn't explain anything or show the steps of animation. Unless you mean you did this FROM a tutorial. If so don't put tutorial in the title cuz it will throw ppl off.

Superbanana responds:

I didn't think of it that way. Now that I look at it, it's really stupid of me. Thanks. I'll rename the title if possible.

[EDIT] I replaced the word 'tutorial' for 'assignment'. Thanks again.

[Gameoverse 1]

I started losing interest

Animation was good, voices were funny. It started off good, I started to laugh a bit, but then once they were teleported to that room I felt that it got kind of lame and corny. The background voices repeating the words could have been done a little better or different to make them more funny (IMO). I think the dolphin and dino were done well, but overall i started to lose interest. Good luck, maybe the next one will be better.

RubberNinja responds:

Yeah, I personally don't like this episode compared to the rest of them for those exact reasons. I'll be interested to know what you think of the later ones. Thanks for the review!

[Sketchy Friends Dance 2]

sigh

If only my friends were just as sketchy and danced :(

The purple girl seemed to barely move. I heard the beat she moved to, but she would only move to it when she got a solo with the frog. Is there something going on between them that you're not telling us?

Nice job, smooth as the white part of hard boiled, de-shelled, eggs

TheBoogley responds:

She's shy... you're the second person to mention that so I think I'll go back in there and fix it. :)

[We practice melting?]

Nice for a start

It's a good exercise, but not really worth being submitted. Next step would be to keep the lines cleaner

TreasurePlanet responds:

thanks for the response.

[The Last Mall Santa]

Haha

The voice were great. I couldn't stop laughing at Santa's first attack. All I heard was him scream "Winter n Blizzeradableable cold blast!!"
Drawings could use work and the sound was too loud or low sometimes, besides that I liked it, nice work lol

tacobuttfish responds:

Lol, awesome! Wintery Blizzard of the North Pole Blast" haha, and yeah, had we a wee bit more time we might've been able to fix all that, glad you enjoyed it though! Hope to see you back for more of our stuff!

[Monster's Dream]

still one of my favs

I vote on this everyday, I've been waiting so long for you to make another animation or some artwork. I love the colors, style, and character! I look forward to seeing more

animatorjones responds:
