IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Intro Animatic.]

You bothered to upload this little scribble twice? Why?

It is very hard to get anyone to really enjoy stuff without any sound; it has to be REALLY GOOD. Is this really good? If you saw this and voted on it, you know you wouldn't vote high, don't you, its just animated scribble. Friend, you can do much better than this. :)

Shadow-Animator-JLG responds:

Thanks for your opinion!
but I did not really re-upload it, it's that it was not uploaded because its music is copyrighted. (Sorry for my bad English, but I speak Spanish)

[Shooting star]

Ah, now although this is a "practice animation" and as I have already said, I don't see why you want to dump your practice pieces on us, it is in fact, a complete idea, start to finish. That second or two of a shooting star is just that- exactly what you have drawn. It would be better if her finger vaguely followed it. As a stargazer, I can tell you, that is what we do when we point it out. 2.5 is about as much as I give for a scrap of something without sound but the material is very good- good flames, good lighting effect on the ground. The wind blows across the same way with the flag and the girl, moving her hair and clothes. Looking carefully, I notice even the shadow on the tent flickers with the flames and the light flickers on the surface of the tent. The fact that we are not usually conscious of these things does not mean they don't matter, they usually subconsciously affect our sense of realism.
The white line at the top doesn't help the scene- you are better than that.

Seriously, this simple scene, worked as a truly complete moment of animation, with a faint crackle of sound from the fire, then a little girl's voice saying "Look !" with a finger moving a little, would be lovely.

RishabhGiri responds:

I totally agree with your concern sir thank you so much for the feedback and appreciation i will definitely complete this scene also with sfx and the correction in animation thank you so much for your precious feedback 🙏🙏

[A Kingly Melody]

Good art and animation. Good Clockiness. Loved the way the music timed with the action. Not sure what exactly was going on- whether we were supposed to somehow know why Orange is being treated in this way.

Animation- its good, the next step is to make the characters squash out slightly as they hit the ground.
Art- I assume those were a group of Turdclocks, though the picture is not clear, perhaps a little shading would help make their shape clearer.

Pingu responds:

Since all authors can reply now, I can do so in MetalDart's absence. I agree that squishiness is important, but remember that StrawberryClock is a fair but firm ruler. So firm that his subjects walk delicately, so as not to squish. Thanks a lot for stopping by!

[Micro squares]

Sorry, I don' t think you are thinking about the viewers point of view at all. To us it is just a pattern of moving white squares- no sound, no music, no point to it. Had you even made the squares dance to music I might have Protected it.

Michamadman responds:

I thought that we can share everything as newgrounds says:"Everything by Everyone". But, I think Im picked the wrong community...

[Animation VS. Animator 3 [DON'T MIND THE THUMBNAIL AND READ DESC]]

It is good. It is a good tribute, with all the sounds and actions we expect. Not a great deal of originality, but I DID enjoy the moment when the gun misses !

I replayed because I didn't understand it all. TBH I still don't, but maybe that's just old me doesn't get all the references. I assume his bum burnt because of the Firefox, if so, he really needed to be closer. If the letters in the final scene were changed into something I was supposed to understand, I didn't.

Don't use silly thumbnails and apologise- you are too good for that, use a good one.

NEVER ask for a five.

Utrilixz responds:

I'll try

[The Fight]

It is generally good- the art is OK, but the animation is generally good enough. There is a sort of story, and it all works. The sound is very good and the music is fitting.

The next step up would be to improve the animation and study the body movements more. The walking is not right, it is like he is stepping in treacle, the knees bend too much. Study some videos on walking. Also the katana man's face would be out of range to be punched and it looks odd when you see it.

missstic responds:

Thanks so much for the feedback and the advice, I really apreciate it. I will definitely follow your advice and try to improve a lot.

[Animation VS. Animator [FAN MADE]]

Animation and sound all good. Lots of good effects. Lots of A v A stuff we know well and more. The only problem for me is unlike AvA I didn't really understand the story.

Utrilixz responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Ima try to improve my upcoming animations

[Kat and Ruff: Borderline Valentine]

It was OK. You have created quite entertaining characters and the music and voices have an old-fashioned cartoon appeal.

However, to be honest I replayed it but still don't understand what happened on the doorstep!

SO the red cat asks her out, then the young cat buts in and says something I can't hear, then the girl gets hit by a baseball, then she hits the red cat, who didn't do anything ? Huh?

TenorR responds:

Yeah tbh looking back on this, I completely see what you’re talking about. This short was just weird and confusing.

[The Cupcake Collab]

I can't say I like art gallery collabs much, it is hardly an animation at all. However there was some good art and the shear quantity of artists got together was impressive, as was the choice of music.

Abbyka responds:

Yeah this was a while ago for me. I'm ashamed and kind of wish I could be removed from it. That was when I was getting started with digital art. I sucked,

[Critical Role Animated: We're Gods (Campaign 1, Episode 97)]

Its fun; it's OK, This should SURELY be the first of series. Good sound, OK animation. Mildly humourous. Yeah, make more!

TheDogtor responds:

Hehe, cool, thank you! :P
