HochiganMeat's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DeeDee fan animation]

Love your work and the other vids you do on YT! I hope I can get to the point where I can offer contructive feedback on your work, there's nothing I can really add!

If you wanted a quicker way to do find classic sound effects, the sound effects wiki have organised em pretty well:
http://soundeffects.wikia.com/wiki/Warner_Bros._Sound_Effects_Library

If you just use the old ctrl f, and "save audio as" on the samples, it's pretty painless, at least in comparison to listening to compilations!

MarcHendry responds:

oh! that's amazing! thank you!
And thanks for the compliments there too

[Alan & Davey - Pasta]

the strangest blend of horror and comedy I've seen in a while. you've definitely got the pacing down, as well as the camera work and general cinematography, you are amazing. However, the colors still seem a bit too bright- even in the shots where you've put shadows on them. Changing the colours slightly depnding on the lighting would help sell how dark some of this is, without sacrificing the comedy side of it too much. just my two cents xx

NightSoil responds:

Hey! Thanks for watching! Really appreciate the feedback and the kind words!
We're working on our next animation which is a bit different but will still have a similar tone to this one. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to put together!

[-Little Face- EPISODE 1]

Very unique storytelling style, and a very ambitious project. Try doing a bit more frame by frame stuff or effects animation for next time, that last scene really needed a bit more omph to really push it for me. Great job xx

SimonPimpon responds:

Thanks for the feedback! :)

[Unsolicitau - First World Problem]

The basic structure for a story is here, with the joke and punchline. However, some kind of build up and reversal of expectation needs to be more clear. For example, what if there's a few interesting shots of him looking like he's warming up to the advert and feeling remorse, only for him to go back to his old habits and scream for his mother?
For it to feel like a story, all it needs is some kind of change or reversal to what happens in the second "act". Otherwise, all the elements here- the static camera shots, the neon lighting, the two dimensional backgrounds- actually work pretty well. It's just the execution that needs work. And I know this because I suck at it, too. Keep going, man- the imagery is really strong here.

Unsolicitau responds:

Yeah I did a version that is basically what you are describing but found that this was funnier and the difference was pretty negligable. I know exactly what you mean though. Thanks for the input! I'm already busy working on new stuff I like to keep moving forward this was just a small idea tbh! A bit of a warm up!

[Pokemon Evolution Clip: Litwick to Lampent to Chandelure]

A nice start, you've got the key poses down. However, try to work on your timing and spacing- and be a bit more creative about morphing, it can be very fun. take a look at stuff like this(although i'm sure you've already seen it):

here, the key frames are clearly defined, but it's the creative swooshes in between that really define it.
also- another tip- when making short stuff, make it a gif, and post it in the art section instead- stuff like this doesn't get too much love here. It'll also challenge you to make things loop seamlessly.

JokerInc77 responds:

Thanks for the advice... I didn't know I could post gifs there :D

[Pokemon Go is for PUSSIES!!!]

everything about this really fits well- the mouth dropping off at the end of her first line, the camera work, the loose, painterly style coupled with tight animation- you can really tell how much was put into this. you've got a new fan.

DocJoshimitsu responds:

Thank you so much! I realy appreciate it!
