ChrisMckiernan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Train Question]

The lip sync was good.
I liked your interpretation of that math question.

The designs and backgrounds need to be more detailed and realistic looking.
the line quality needs to look less rough and more refined.
The animation of the character and trains was ok.

Jmainia responds:

Thanks for the feedback!
i'm hoping to fix those drawing problems by getting a drawing pad(i've been animating/drawing with a mouse).

[First Contact]

The story was well developed. I liked the the opening scene in space because it looked cleaned- up and the good camera angle.
The audio was too loud in some parts, especially the beeping noise when he was trying to find his space ship.
It needs more audio in the last half.
I wish the alien was more detailed, especially since hes the focus of the story.
There also needs to be some more complex animation with the astronaut and alien, instead of just the two of them sliding across the scene.

Since you used nothing but photoshop as you said. Making an animated short with just that can be difficult if your new to it.
So I praise you on your hard work.

What was your teacher thinking? Using corel painter for an animation? I don't even think you can animate using Corel Painter. Never heard of anyone doing it.

Overall, I liked the story.

[Pillow Talk]

The characters and backgrounds really need to be cleaned up and refined.
The animation is good and the story is really funny.

No9000 responds:

Aright, I'll try to put more effort into that for my next piece, I did admittedly just crap out most of the backgrounds in a few nights, thank's a bunch for the feedback man!

[The Elder Scrotum (An Elder Scrolls Parody)]

Since I am a hardcore elder scrolls fanatic ( ever since 2001), This movie greatly offends me because you did not capture the majesty and gloriousness of the game that is Skyrim.

I thought the "gay beards" backwards head turn and the arrow scene was funny.
The skyrim background music audio quality needs to be better.
Try mp3juices.cc for better quality music.
The animation was good.

Portimations responds:

Thank you very much for your feedback, I'm am aware of these faults, and will improve in the near future. Thank you again for the response.
