CrimsonKero's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[VHRPT - Intro (Gameboy Style)]

I can accept the red shading as a custom Super Game Boy or GBC enhanced palette to suit the Castlevania-esque mood, but the Game Boy only has 4 colours. This has 6.

FahadLami-NG responds:

I tried but It's okay.
(and I know what I'm doing)

[happy birthday johnny utah]

Fuck you too.

In all seriousness, that bit was to me, the funniest part of the animation. Nice little nod to when I criticised the previous 'Rigno Star Productions' video for being very rushed and unfunny compared to previous submissions. Shame I can't say the same thing for this video, the cycle's just gonna continue.

[Entertainment is what I seek...]

MEDIOCRE (2 / 5)

NEGATIVES:
- Extremely rough + rushed animation without colour.
- Very few sounds, aside from Chronos's (the man in the top hat) voice. All dialogue aside from him come from text
- Basic ovals and rectangles that makes 1 week look like 1 day.
- No music.

POSITIVES:
- Chronos is drawn a little better than everyone else, although he still seems a little off.
- Has the potential to be a good story if the above negatives were fixed.

INFO:
- 2 minutes long
- No colour, only black and white / couldn't be bothered to use the fill tool

ChronosTimeOverlord responds:

Nearly 7 moths have gone by, but that does not matter. It wasn't made in a week as far as I remember. I storyboarded it for 5-6 days and then made in 1.5 days straight without sleep, so I definitely wasn't thinking straight when animating, but that's kind of an excuse. Happy to infrom that I now animate much better and faster :)

[Repella Fella - Short #2]

GOOD (3.5 / 5) (formerly NOT MUCH (2.5 / 5):

POSITIVE
- Portrays the kind of stuff that I'd expect from a post-apocalyptic story-driven game like the one you want to make.
- Lots of little bits lying around, great attention to detail.

NEGATIVE:
- No audio. You really need that if you want to give a good impression and get people to back your Kickstarter
EDIT: There's now audio. Changing my review.

INFO:
- Very gory. Not for the faint of heart.
- Simplistic lineless vector art style that's no longer ripping off South Park.

Philljc responds:

My mistake, I saved it from my Youtube channel and didn't realise the audio didn't get saved with it for some reason. I have since replaced it and confirmed audio to be working, sorry about that!

[Life in the metal mines]

OK (3/5)
A day in the life of a Rodite slave working in a Nerion owned mine. I would never want to work there, unless I was one of those Nerions

POSITIVE:
- Decent frame by frame animation with a ton of new frames. Most of the Nerions are uniquely designed as well.
- Great music that fits well with the setting. Where did you get that?

NEGATIVE:
- No sound effects.
- Jittery motion, especially noticeable on the tunnel walls.

INFO:
- 30 seconds long. Not too padded out.
- Very basic intro + outro title cards

IvanPrime93 responds:

1. I made the music on Groove pad it was something that I made a long time ago and decided to use it since I didn't have time to make a new one (and my phone deleted the app without me knowing) It is a free app so try it when you have the time.
2. I wanted to put sound effects when I finished the animation but 1. My whip sound wasn't compatible with Power director 2. I wanted to ad my own sounds for the birds but again time was spent only on what was absolutely needed meaning only the animation.
3. intro/outro was last minute because I was too tired to animate that as well and again not enough time.

[is what it seems 4]

GREAT (4/5):

POSITIVES:
- Interesting concept: Made to believe that the girl is being fucked. Even the turtle believes it.
- Great animation, especially on the turtle
- Approriate (or rather inappropriate) use of sound effects

INFO:
- Text bubbles instead of spoken dialogue.

~frog~

ChuchoZepa responds:

Thanks for your comments, I would have liked to make my animations with spoken dialogues but it is very difficult to get someone to help me, especially with a woman's voice

[Pokémon Parody : Skyla]

I don't care HOW good the animation is. If you want people to take you seriously as a talented Newgrounds creator, you REALLY need to add sound effects. Right now it just feels very bland.

MarkBox responds:

That’s fair. Truthfully I don’t know much in sound editing let alone equipment and programs for sound. Also working 2 jobs while trying to animate hardly leaves me any time to sleep or practice or study sound. YouTube i need that YouTube ad revenue so I can quit my second job to have time to look into it.

[THE MERMAID]

Oh God, Those stock clipart things. Don't really blend very well with 3D piranhas

boringhuman responds:

You're right. My priority is to make an animation film as quickly as possible, so I have no other choice. It is not a high-quality animation film. How is the original story?
