ChrisMckiernan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Back to the Fuhrer]

Really funny,
Great story.

The stick figure character designs bothered me at first, but towards the end I didn't mind them.

[VOLT - Dance Animation Loop]

As a first try animating a dance you did a good job.
Her moves look very fluid.

Cool theme and vibe (dancing robot to techno music)
You make robots sexy again.

Even though this is a loop, her dance moves at the end are very similar to her dance moves at the beginning.
So if you watch this continuously, you hardly notice its a loop animation.
i don't know if that was intentional or accidental, but none the less its a clever idea.

[Toll of the Lost 1]

Masterful use of adobe Flash and other programs.
One of the best original stories I've seen on newgrounds in the past year.
Great characters with a lot of personality.

This was great to watch from start to end.

Xiphon responds:

I'd like to expand the software use in the future. Adam Phillips (creator of the Brackenwood series) talks occasionally about how he used to use Flash until it was no longer able to support what he was trying to do with it, and there's some elements of this that have left me feeling similar. The 3-D spinning planets during the opening, for example, were incredibly taxing on the program. Things like all the lighting overlays and effects also were a huge strain, and happen to be things I know other programs do better.

I just happen to have the most animation experience in flash, so I stuck to that, but it may be inevitable I need to make some kind of leap to something else unless Adobe improves certain aspects of it.

[Childhood trauma]

Good designs, backgrounds, etc.
Good work.

[Brule On Sushi]

Amazing!

I love that show!

I was laughing from start to end.

[Pokemon x Chowder]

This was really funny.

[Airsoft Guns]

Really funny.

Designs, animation, and backgrounds needs a lot of work though.

[linkin prk kem 2 my house]

This video is coming off to me as insensitive, knowing that chester commited suicide literally a day and half ago.

Bad animation, bad designs, bad everything.

[Good Morning]

I liked the backgrounds.
It had a heartwarming story.

The animation was good but not amazing.

I didn't like Balto and Leela's charcter designs. They looked weird to me.

[One Kiss]

Cute story.

ok backgrounds.
I wish the boy and girl weren't red and green stick figures.
