ChrisMckiernan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[yoda's halloween]

Animation was ok. Designs were good. The flickering happy halloween at the end was annoying.

[The Broken Boy]

The animation and video quality was good. Cool concept. I enjoyed it.

[MALHYOGAFH Wishes you Merry Christmas!!!]

Those poor cat creatures! I thought it was funny but sad how they were still trying to sing after two of their friends were shot down.
The fps was a little slow.. Good designs and video quality. The movie was short but to the point. The pitch of the audio could have been a little higher or better quality.

[Vault Man Ken! (Fallout4 spoiler)]

I liked the Vault-Tech and Fallout (lore friendly) details throughout the movie. The 1950's Hanna-Barbara/ Speed Racer animation style and video effects were enjoyable. The fast-paced Japanese with Korean subtitles was hilarious. I wished it was at least a minute or two longer and had a more complex story.

[Life of Baby Bird ep.7]

This one has more of a story than last episode. More variation in audio and dialogue which is good. Still needs more detail when it comes to characters and backgrounds.

[God-Emperor Purges the Alt-Right]

This was funny. Background and character designs were good. I wished that the fps was better so the animations would look smoother.

[Dance of Blood under the Moonlight]

The subtle background music fit well with the mood of the video. An amazing drawing, very clean and colorful. My favorite part was the light reflecting off her hair. My only gripe was the constant zooming in and out and shaky camera.

ValeriaKitten made a similar comment; I'm still going through the settings of OBS, trying to figure out something better. How I work is generally zooming in a lot erasing tiny overlays of other lines, colors, etc..., so to fix it might just be a capture of a separate window of what I'm working on. If I only cap that, you'll see the progress and some zoom, but that's it. I could do what Norasuko does, but that does, also, eat up computer performance (and mine, while awesome, could sure use an upgrade).

To be sure, I'll be experimenting with different setups!

[Memories-A Sister Location Animation]

A scary and depressing story. Animation is ok and simple. Needs more color and a thinner line quality.

ChucklzTheAnimator responds:

Yeah, I know. This is what happens when you draw with a computer mouse. As for the clouring, I had to hand colour it, as my Adobe Flash CS6 isn't working properly

[Zero Saves the Day 3]

The drawings, lip sync, and animation is between ok and mediocre. You would have gotten a higher rating if there was more audio besides dialogue, a background, and some color or shading. Not bad though:)

PretentiousPerson responds:

What would you suggest I do?

[RWBY Animation - Death of Weiss Schnee Complete Edition]

This felt like more of a fast paced animatic than an animation. The line quality of the characters and backgrounds needs to be thinner and less rough looking. The perspective, foreshortening, and camera angles during the fight scenes were good.
