PeAtrit's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Charcoalmation]

Quite cool.

I am seriously impressed by your patience, i would never manage myself to do this. It was nice, would'ev been a little more cooler if u drew more frames, but its ok, i suppose.

nice job. : D

xD

[The Adventures of Steve 3]

Ehh

Hmm.. what can i say?
First, i really like the backgrounds.
The buildings, the bar, the village and the airplane was nicely DRAWN.
However, the COLOURING itself looked extremly unprofessional.
The characters barely moved, which shows that this was not even animated...
It was small, odd moves - not really worthy to be called "animation" .
You cant get away with nice voices, it doesnt work.

Eitherway i can give you more, because i judge Animation, Art, Backgrounds, Story, Sounds - But specially ANIMATION.

Story was .... kind of ridiciolus.
And the shooting sounds were patethic - Could you not have gotten anything better? This animation lacks on many places.

Improve on these points, and you will recieve higher reviews.

Thank you!

Neo-Egyptian responds:

I generally respond to criticism in a positive way and appreciate how most of the more critical reviews I've had for Steve 3 have been constructive and polite in tone. However, yours has managed to genuinely irritate me, so allow me to retort:

Your most recent cartoon is a visual abomination, done almost entirely in monochrome and being around 90% tweened, the other 10% comprising embarrassingly basic frame-by-frame. While you speak of my 'extremely unprofessional' colouring, you've barely used any yourself, despite the fact vibrant colour in certain scenes would have made an excellent contrast between the woman's past and her present. Yes, criticising your work purely because you've criticised mine is a cheap shot, but you come across like you're a master of animation when you can't even apply your criticisms to your own work.

Aside from this, I really cannot stand 'high and mighty' reviews, especially where you've said things like my cartoon is not worthy to be called animation, and that I should 'improve on these points, and you will receive higher reviews'. Oh thank you, master of the visual arts and Newgrounds extraordinaire! Before I had your excellent advice to guide me, I didn't realise that people responded well to improved animation!

Look, I appreciate that this cartoon is not perfect - I did in fact make a lengthy post on my website regarding my own criticisms of the episode, and have since been spending a lot of time reading Richard Williams' guides to animating and trying to learn loads of new techniques for future cartoons. However, there are ways to be critical that mean you don't come across like a hypocritical asshole - you use several throw-away insults when describing my animation and voice acting, essentially saying I can't do it and it doesn't work. Thanks, that's very constructive, and not remotely judgemental given the quality of your own work!

Improve on these points, and you will receive a positive response from me.

Thank you!

[Jumper Stick]

Oh dear....

Allright, i cannot believe this even made it to the portal.
First, this idea has been made AT LEAST 1 million times. And i am saying that because i am unsure how many other millions there are.
Obvious stolen idea from Terkoiz, the sticks weren't even proper made, they looked more like a ball of mud thrown together.

Physics were off, sounds were bad and not synced properly.
Animation was bad, sound quality was bad.

Bad:
Animation seriously needs work aswell as sounds.
The idea, the point, and the way you made this "The Jumper"-style-looking-cool-figures-ar e-best was just patethic and lame.

Good:
Song choice.

This is one of the worst animations ever submitted.

Get your own style and idea, and stop ripping off other ideas.
Like i usually say..

"AND IF YOU NOW WOULD - DO IT GOOD!"

And dont show up here with blurred sticks and what ever the hell that was.

Thank you.

[Pokemon - Left 4 Dead]

...

I agree with Naked-ape. This is just stupid. This was no fun, and IS extremly easy to animate, considering the fact that the only thing you actually "worked" on was the actionscript on the play button and the 1-2 frames during the "attacks" .

I am dissapointed how animation has gone so low in NG, i find this ridiciolus..

But as a fellow Newgrounders, i shall judge this submission

Bad: Lame idea, Lame animation, Lame music, pointless story, NO story whatsoever, non-interesting.

Good: Nothing.

However, i shall give you 4 because of the thumbnail picture.

Till Next time, get real, will you?

And the same is about you Newgrounders.

[Move Your Body(Cha.Layer)]

Decent

Good:
The song was quite nice
The idea of how false school can be, lol.
SOME of the animation was okay

Bad:
Animation could be A HELL OF ALOT BETTER
It was choppy, unfixed, physics kinda sucked, really. lol.
I am looking for high quality animation. This looks like the characters are moving 3 frames on each move. Which needs to be fuck-loads-of-higher.
And i seriously disliked how you took photos, and edited them, and used them in your animation - that is a copyright law on that.
you NEVER take a photo, wether its yours or not,
1) Photos SUCKS (simply, unless you edit them like hell in Photoshop and make them look awesome)
2) Its BORING - Draw your own stuff - it makes you better.

I am very requiring when it comes to this.
Hope it helps.

cya!

[Please Don't Mute Me!]

Hmm...

I liked the idea of the movie. Like, stop picking on me. Or thats atleast how i picked it up. You should tell us a little more about the music video, so you can understand it a bit better.

The animation COULD be better, it seemed rather short and kind of rushed.
More frames and more moves to the characters, and the tweens were used in wrong proportions.
All in all, i am just saying there should be more animation, then rather tweened.
There were randoms scenes, and i didnt quite catch them all, and who was that big scary black guy who keept chasing the little dude?
I didnt seem to "know" the movie itself, so as i said, more explanations.

Good parts:
Idea
Colours
Design
Art

Bad parts:
Too random
Animation
Story
Details

7/10. Good luck. I am looking forward for more of your movies.

Cherry up, aye?

/Peatrit.

[If you seek...]

I See Potentiaaal..... >;'D

Hm, first of, just to get this clear,
I find the animation good, but in a very slow FPS, which is a good excuse to use actually, but the animation ALMOST fit the way it would,
but it did need more frames, and more fps.
The art itself was medium quality, it was sometimes too simple,
or it wasnt at all, lol. So the art was okay.
The third, which is the story, sounds kinda pointless.

What is the point of the man running around, looking for this woman?
Does he love her, but never told?
Did he all of a sudden just got worried?
How does it connect with the " If you seek ",
If you tried for an artistic feeling, i must say you sure have lots to learn.
Nothing offensive, just that your message have to be more clear.

OVERALL: this movie is an 8.
I Explained why, i gave you constructive criticism,
and it is something that i can guarantee you on that will keep its worth,
And not just by some asshole who is jealous! =)

I will have an eye watching after more of your stuff..:

Fer noew, lets sail, till destiny kills us all.

[Jackie]

Extremly Amazing,

*Clap* Why, i have never seen such a good animation, but not only the animation,
the story itself was awesome! It so represents all these young Emo girls
that lives a tough life behind drugs and such.

It doesnt matter whether the animation was good,
The story was good enough!

AWESOME JOB

[Drifts vs Bident]

Hmph, Pretty Good.

Hello guys! Its Me, P! A while ago we talked.
Anyways, heres my review:

I liked most of the animation, it was smooth, but the tweens made it a little '' slow ''.
I'd rather expect more jumping, kicking, punching, and explodings, but thats only my opinion. The battle itself was pretty okay, but there was bit too many pauses. So i amma give you 8.

Overall opinion: Sweet Job.

8/10
4/5

[The Lady In White]

Bored.

tbh, it was boring.
The animation was okay, and the music was so boring.
And the movie also.
I just wanted more tention, it almost seemed like i was in the 14th century,
with all the princess-save-me-knight-guy-thing.

MORE ACTION/FUN

Hildebrandt responds:

You know what's fun? Standing on a hill during a thunderstorm with an huge iron pole in you hand. Try it out. /oh, by the way, You should take alook at you own movies concerning lack of action... there is an old german saying- he who sits in the house of glass should shit in the basement.
