solitonmedic's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Random Brothers]

An interesting style... but the voices and the stale jokes behind it just really brings it down. I'll admit, there were some gags that were pretty witty though.

The transitions in between can get annoying really fast though, and I'd avoid using the word "random" anywhere in your videos.

BenjiLiekzPotatoez responds:

Thank you for your critique! I am going to try to implement your points into my videos.

[The Bear Guy]

Nothing anything special, or worth something to keep people waiting. The art style is a obvious reminiscence of the Eddsworld cartoons, and the Pedobear joke has been done to death already.

The line work here is just wobbly and hard to look at. Still, it's a nice a attempt for animation. Keep trying.

PlasmaToons responds:

thanks

[Kofi - Part 1: Startville]

Now that was entertaining! I'm loving how the HUD is just there for the whole movie, as well as frequently updating on whatever Kofi's doing as if it was a real game. (And I'm glad it is!)

Really professional grade presentation stuff here, hoping for more!

kofi-noob responds:

Thanks! We're glad you liked it. We'll be uploading more animations soon.

[My First Animation]

Impressive for a first... but this sort of stuff belongs in the forums, specifically the Animation forum. You won't get that great of a reception for your movies (or as a artist) if you post test animations, that's considered very distasteful for some.

Aside from that, very clear animation! Great use of smear, even for such a simple clip! Definitely a start for something great, keep going!

The animation forums here is your friend, it's a great place for critique for test vids and finished ones too!

vividlay responds:

Thank you very much!
And I'll definitely post my other tests to there from now on :D

[Mario Tennis Ace Anime Opening]

Beautifully done! The music really complimented the animation pretty well, very adorable!

Only gripe is the description you guys left here. This review spot isn't for "comments", they're for critique. That sort of stuff should be for YouTube. :)

ChannyandKimberly responds:

Oh you re right, its for critics:)! Thx

[Hair Triggered Pt 1 - NUTS AMUCK 6]

"Oppressed by gravity", pffft

Definitely a good watch, good to see 3D stuff here on the portal. The animation felt a little too stiff at times, especially on that Cindy character. Love to see more, the subtle political commentary here was just hilarious, lmao

emergencysquirrel responds:

Thanks for your feedback.

[Lost POSSESSIONS]

It's pretty basic, but it was still a good watch.

It would had been better if was animated sorta in the style of asdfmovie, just animation-wise. It would really make the whole thing visually pleasing despite lack of colors. Other then that, pretty good.

Harriooo responds:

Thanks. I'm still finding my style but thanks for the constructive criticism.

[Where is Adeleine?]

Oh wow, the Japanese Kirby Twitter account were actually blocking people?
Hilarious inside jokes regardless, lol.

People just need some patience, we'll get our artist back... eventually.

KimiOmega responds:

They weren't, don't worry! Haha!
Soon she will be there!

[PAPER 64 #06 (FR)]

ENGLISH please. This is a English-speaking site after all, so actual translations would had saved this movie.

The choppy graphics and odd effects around makes this a pretty awkward watch. It doesn't help the movie at all when there's little to no animation around. Feels much more of a slideshow then animation. The art style has no consistency at all. There's even points of the movie where the graphics stretch out to the entire screen, which just look plain terrible to the eyes.

Definitely take measures to improve your presentation. This... was just terrible to watch.

Rkz-Production responds:

Your opinion made me question myself about the content that I create, and I sincerely thought to stop, but thinking well I thought it would be really interesting to start on good bases!

Since season 1 is already over, I sincerely intend to invest in the second one in order to offer a qualitative and coherent content.

Thank you for your comment, it helped me a lot!

[[Motion Comic] The Wallachian Library Ch. 1 - Pt. 3]

Definitely a lovely premise, only betrayed by having no sound. Sound would definitely complement the comic, as well as additional animation to emphasize certain moments (i.e. the horse stomping on the girl).

As to answer your own questions, definitely considered better tracks to better suit the themes you're going for. For dialogue, I think it's fine as long as it does not obscure the scene.

TheHereticLocomotive responds:

Sorry for the late reply. It's very difficult to add sound and I don't think I would work since the characters don't have voices, I will give it a try.

"Better tracks"? I don't have many choices in the Royalty Free Music section but I'll see what I can do...
