ChrisMckiernan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jaycartoons: Haunting]

I'm not a fan of stick figure style animations.
I didn't understand the humor in this.

[Unemployment]

Even though I have a job ( where I'm extremely overqualified and payed garbage),
All this that you are describing in this video seems very familiar and hits home.

Its a common problem with people in their 20's (definitely for college graduates) in the US.
Know that you are not a piece of shit and you are not alone in feeling this way.

Anyway,
I like your drawings and designs.

The animation needs more frames or smoothing.
I'd say this is more of an animatic (animated storyboard) than an animation.

The lip sync in the opening scene didn't match up well with the audio you used.

GrahamDrawsButts responds:

I'm definitely going to have to look up some tutorials on lip syncing! XD
Thanks for the feedback!
I hope you find something that pays better soon! :S

all the best,
Graham

[Why Basic Income?]

Basic Income sounds nice all around.
If it was enacted in the United States (where I live), do you think it would work?

The United States is already in heavy debt (as the whole world knows) and i feel like the money would have to come from somewhere.
Taxing the rich would be difficult, they are already fucked up the U.S. economy, and they'd shoot down any law or program that would cost them any pocket change.

While middle class, people in their mid to late twenties (like me), have bachelor degrees working multiple retail jobs with high school kids and still having trouble paying bills and feeding themselves.

When I go on job interviews for full time work, even though I'm a graduate, they refuse to hire me because I lack work related experience.

I'd be thankful to hear your take or opinion on this.

Anyway,
The argument your trying to make is clear and concise and full of convincing facts and real-life situations.
This video is a good length without being too long.

The character designs are simple but are appropriate.

adamanimates responds:

It might surprise you to learn that the US came very close to passing a basic income in the 60s. Nixon was actually strongly in favor of eliminating poverty until he encountered political resistance within his administration.

If that had passed, other countries would have followed and the world would be very different today.

So it's definitely viable and affordable. The question is entirely about politics.

[JJBA - Great Days (RE-Animate)]

Didn't like the character designs.

The animation was ok.

[Small Town Pokemon Go]

This was depressing and funny at the same time.

Good animation style

thisisaok responds:

Thanks! Why only 2.5 stars though?

[64 Bits - Korok on Death Mountain]

I'm curious, what software did you use to make this?
I can't tell if this is flash or after effects. Maybe a combination or none of them.

I've never see this style of animation before.
It looks super 3D, but still very 2D at the same time.

This was good.

[It's High Noon - Overwatch Parody]

I've never played overwatch and i never will.

But I've got to admit, this was funny:)

[Universal Donor]

a sensitive, dark, and serious choice of subject matter for a story.
I'm glad it had happy ending.

The backgrounds and character designs were good, though they looked a little flat and not very detailed.

The animation was ok and looked a bit choppy.

Zombie-Pimp responds:

thanks for the feedback! I do need to work on making my cartoons look less choppy.

[Princess Ness Episode 1]

Professional quality animation.
Reminds of the type of show I'd see on cartoon network, disney channel, or nickelodeon.

The character designs remind me of something from powerpuff girls or total drama island.

Well done.

[Face Your Inner Demons- (Animated Music Video)]

I really like the 2d animation. Your very good at it.
The animation was well timed with the music.

The backgrounds and colors need be refined.
The audio quality could be better.
The video quality isn't hd format.

Besides the audio, colors, and video quality,
You did a good job with the most important things.

Which was the animation and timing:)

OneOfMillions responds:

Thanks for the input, man! Yeah, I feel like I rushed the colors for the sake of time, which is why it's just one color for each character. If I stay within the lines, it might look better for next time. I think I'll try to add some shadow layers as well when I animate next. As for the hd format, I think I'll have to look that up somewhere, because I was exporting jpeg files from opentoonz, maybe png might be better? Well, thanks for taking the time to review!
