kknots's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rian's Revenge]

This is NOT a REVIEW. I give you 5 stars just because. This is a set of SUGGESTIONS on how to improve.

Artwork:
1) You should put more detail into static objects such as background and unanimated scene objects. Windows' glass reflects light and has frames. Walls are rarely just plain color, unless very well painted. So walls are made of bricks, which could be visible at some spots. Tables are wooden, and wooden items have natural patterns on their surface.

Animation:
1) Chin needs to move up-down when a character talks. Also his head may move a bit during speech when additional effort is put into certain words.
2) Sometimes people blink. Maybe there are people who never blink on public.
3) Characters are too static, doing nothing, making very limited movements or none at all. They should make more movements. Elbows should bend. That left coffee cup arm is too long.
4) The fat boy's poses switch lightning-fast. Need more inbetweening. It won't ruin the effect. Only improve. Or at least clothes should wave around after a fast movement was made.

What I found amazing is the amount and quality of different shots. All very good drawings and each deserves a unique place in Art Portal. wait, this is not a reivew...

[The Tale of Lambert]

Should have killed him by Hank walking around and slaughtering everyone in his sight

Rapheus responds:

Think of all the untold sob stories Hank leaves in his wake. My goodness.

This is art

The artwork is really great! But the movie itself is a bit lengthened, I think, it lacks some action. And the animation is a bit not good, I mean the walk cycle, blood, and the fact that the helmets on the faces of the special team members are just placed under round movie clip masks. In blood, and first action scene at the beginning, they both had slow-motion too often.

I know it is not an action movie, but just putting a story into a great flash animation, accompanied by perfect voice-acting and beautifully ambient music is getting bored at a few places. But it is still is very good, but I feel like something is missing in it.

Shayphis responds:

Fair review though i'm not sure what to tell ya, next time though i'll try to fill in those gaps :)

[Super Wizard Quest]

this is weird

The background is really good. But the animation was going too fast, and it's just 5 seconds long. I know it's hard and long too make, but at least you could give the wizard a hat, and I have no idea why this is named "Quest" - it's all so incoherent, that it has no sense. Please make animations with sense.

FloppDiddly responds:

but sense dont feed the kids.
