ChrisMckiernan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[To The Rescue]

Excellent animation and colorful:)

Kubbs responds:

Thank you ;)

[Kitty-Kat Noodle-Attack!]

The animation was pretty good.

Not a lot of color, and the entire animation seemed kind of "bland" and "flat".

jza963 responds:

Thank you for the feed back

[PAPERTHIN: Rebels Chapter 12]

Backgrounds and designs are nice.
Animation was good during the fight scenes, though could use some more frames to make it look smoother.

Audio needs to be cleaned up.
Plot wasn't very interesting.

AguRex responds:

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I'm currently working on the next chapter.

I'm still new at storytelling in films. Hope to improve more in the future.
😊

[Sakura Haruno vs Hinata Hyuga]

The pixel animation during the fight scenes was well planned and fun to watch.
The voice acting was good.

Though,
There was a lot of dialogue and yet no indication of lip sync animation.
Not to mention the 4 minute of shaky pixel conversation they had in the beginning.

I know its naruto and you had no choice but
There was a lot of copyrighted material including music, pictures that seemed to be downloaded right off of google images.
I may be wrong,
but it seemed to me that nothing was hand drawn, modeled, etc.
Except for maybe during fight scenes.

Otherwise,
I can appreciate the planning and effort that was put into this.
I could tell that this was a labor of love from a fan.

Jozarto responds:

I appreciate the input and compliments, I really appreciate it. Honestly.

Yeah, regarding the dialogue and lack of lip sync, I was actually very hesitant to use the mouth sprites that I have, due to them being a bit too big to fit on the characters' faces properly. The bouncing was lazy, and not very fun, I admit that. Also, I'm sure the dialogue was far too lengthy. It took over 3 minutes of the animation.

As for the music, the first song is an original track by a friend, the second track was a cover of the Naruto fighting theme, and third track was the original OST (I should have changed it), and the fourth song was a cover by Raon Lee, and the last track was Sakura's theme, which I should have changed.

As for the drawings, those were actually redrawn screenshots from the anime. My friend Tessa drew them over on Photoshop. In essence, she traced some closeup images from scenes in the anime. Not the most original approach, but I thought it would be the most pleasing to the eye, and possibly nostalgic.

This criticism is good, and I'm glad to hear someone else's thoughts on this project. Thanks.

[Poppy Topper - Remembrance Day]

I love British humor.
Very funny and Enjoyable.

The animation was well executed, but looked a bit stiff.

LOTAC responds:

Thanks for the kind words my man and I'm glad you enjoyed it

And yeah, we try and get out out every month so we gotta try and cut corners here and there. Also v. limited budget so that never helps. One day soon I hope we get enough time and money to make these alot better

[RIP IT OUT]

I really like the background music.
Character designs are very nice.

AntonM responds:

[ULTRA!TALE EP2: CROSS VS DELTA (Outdated)]

The fight scene animation was good.

Character designs and backgrounds looked rough.

AnimatedZorox responds:

I can agree with the bg :3

[Mad Sombra Chase - Overwatch x Teen Titans]

I never really got into Overwatch, but I loved to watch teen teen titans back in the day.
I'm loving the vibes and style coming from this.

Excellent character designs and animation.
Very nice.

LZbros responds:

Thanks! It's ok you didn't get into OW, you got the good childhood there by getting into Teen Titans xD
