ChrisMckiernan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TD-rektoric]

I look forward to these whenever I check up on newgrounds. Another great one.

In your video, I recognized some of the campus and bureacratic nonsense that I went through before I graduated.

For example, some of those bogus classes that were required and that were a waste of time and money.
The colleges attitude was that these classes are necessary in today's digital age, in order to equip you with skills that'll help you get a job after you graduate.

Which is a big lie and excuse to make more money off of impressionable teenagers just out of high school.

I've been on so many art/ design/ animation job interviews since then and all that really matters is the quality of your work and what programs you know how to use.

Those extra classes that had nothing to do with your major doesn't help. Even if you were to use something you were taught in those classes it wouldn't impact the results of your job interview.

[The Jenomi Movie]

Nice animation in the beginning.
I didn't understand how the live action was connected to the animation.

Were you trying to be funny?
I didn't get it.

RedAndrew responds:

Me neither.

[Blackout7 Pilot Episode Full Animatic]

A good animatic.
Dialogue and voice acting is nice.

The story is sort of easy to follow.

Character designs need improvement.

ericpolley responds:

thank you! i agree with the character design, i drew them out and rigged them before i got a graphics tablet lol.

[Hungry Monkey]

Great 2D animation.
Funny character designs.

[The Journal]

Really cool flash animation.

A good trailer, it really builds up the suspense.

TheCartoonJournal responds:

Thanks! Be Sure To Stay Tuned, Many More To Come!

[Memories]

Creepy

The claymation part was dark, depressing, and interesting.
I recognized the symbolism in the scene where the clay people were giving up their brains for the latest iphone.

The mix of animation and live action was good.

You went a little overboard with the "scratchy video effect" in the beginning.

[Having The Time]

Good animation.
Simple and minimalistic designs.
Very short.

[the freakerouter]

Sometimes the roughs are better than the final product.
This was good.

[Pharao's grave 3 - Fight]

Lip sync was good at some parts.
Music's ok.
Character designs and backgrounds need work

Waskus responds:

Thanks,! And yes, I know. Kind of rushed the project just to get it out of my mind, but I surely could've worked more with the things you pointed out. Maybe another time, when school is calmer and I have more free time to pursue more ambitious projects.
