ChrisMckiernan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Arc Infinitum 5]

I apologize ahead of time for saying this.
Forgive me for not knowing the name of the program you use to make these animations, but I don't like it.
Everyone looks unrealistic and robotic. Bordering on that animation term "the uncanny valley".

My opinion is that you've got a lot of potential with your stories, characters, and animation skills.

You should use a different program to make these animations.
Ones that professionals use like flash, maya, blender, after effects, etc.
Even 2d hand drawn would look good.

Maybe you already use these programs, I don't know.
But this looks like the same program they used to make the 2016 BERSERK series. (Which was shit.)

I can tell you got a lot of great ideas and talent,
just please use different software. (something better than this)

[Short Original Fight]

I like the character designs
The animation is good.

Whats with the jagged line quality?
I also wish there was more variation in colors, everything was blue, dim, and the resolution didn't look that great.
Maybe increase or decrease the overall brightness,contrast, and exposure of the video.

Jamoo79 responds:

The quality is like that because this was made in easytoon which is for lower resolution animations. I colored it like that because their in a forest at night. I will try that last tip with the brightness contrast and exposure but I don't know if it will help because I don't have very good eyesight even with glasses.

[The Final Christmas]

It has a smart, funny story.
Animation and character designs are ok

The audio of the narrator seemed didn't seem to be of the same quality of the rest of the audio.

funymony responds:

Thanks dude!

Yeah, I didn't take much time on character design.
I like drawing balloon people and making them wear footy pajamas.
One of these days I'll have to take some time out to sketch clothes and outfits for my mental reservoir whenever I need to sketch some new characters... and stop drawing balloon people. lol

I'll see what I can do with my Narrator buddy about getting some sweeter audio.
Thanks, amigo! :D

[Squidwards nightmare]

For once, out of the 10 years I've been watching spongebob, I actually feel bad for squidward.

Good effects, claymation, and props.

I liked the story and ending.

The character designs are ok, but they work well with the overall mood of the short.
