ChrisMckiernan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

[A NORMAL Halloween]

There should be more audio, and it should be consistent.
A lot of silence, followed by loud sound effects.
Next animation, download some subtle "creative commons" background music.

The character designs look "blocky"
The animation is ok.

The plot, characters, and dialogue was interesting.

Zukovoy91 responds:

Okay! Thanks for the criticism it helps!

[RIP IT OUT]

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

AntonM responds:

thanks! I love scoring these vids, happy u like the music

[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

[Chicken Attack]

Not Bad.
Nice animation on the fight scenes,

jerrylov29 responds:

Thank you! >:)

[TheMoxShows:Hello creepy neighbor]

Voice acting is decent.
This needs color and better designs.

TailsTheMoctFox responds:

I know, My brother used to help me the voice acting but is hard without them.
Even the color part I was trying Get them but I don't have enough money when I was 14 years old.

[BB10 Balad 3: Clockhunt]

The animations nice, but I don't get it.

OatmealPecheneg responds:

I understood, this is third part of BB10 ball adventure where he tries to reach his homeland. This part was made to introduce new clock. Oatmeal clock. Strong. polite and outlaw. He also have raisins wich looks like holes. They needed to express emotions. Also there can be many jokes about it in future.

[Clock Crew Red Bull Commercial]

I don't get it...

RealRedbookClock responds:

because redbull didnt give u wings
