ChrisMckiernan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Noet Finished MLG Klown Pilot!! :(]

The animation is good.
I liked the dialogue and it was funny.

Though, It felt incomplete because the last half of the movie isn't colored.

MLGKlown responds:

[critterfitz 'SAY CHEESE' Title Animation]

The designs, effects, background, animation, and audio is top notch. Extremely short though.

critterfitz responds:

Thanks! Yeah, I thought it'd be good to keep it kinda short, it's going to be like a title card to my animations that i post from now on.

[bird flying animation (process)]

The animation is smooth, but a little fast.
The color and video quality seemed bland and muted.

My opinion on the eagle, is it would look more realistic if the flapping wings were slowed down by half a second or a little more. Maybe add a few more in-between frames for the wings.

The backgrounds bothered me a little bit because they did not seem as detailed or as realistic looking as the eagle and looked like clip art.

Another tip is to make the mountain and clouds in the background move twice as fast but at the same pace.

Overall, Its nice and keep animating.

awesomea900 responds:

Wow, that is very helpful!

my main take away is:
a few more in-betweens for the flap part of the wing.

my main problem with the background is that i don't know how to draw a good sky. The mountains i did quickly from looking at alan becker's tutorial.

oh yeah, and i don't know how to improve video quality and color.
what i do is i export it directly from flash CC.
for some reason swiel makes the quality of my animations worst.
i have watched alan becker's video on how he exports his animations, but i don't think it works for CC.
If you could link me a video on how you achieve maximum video quality, that would be much appreciated

[Crack in my system]

The animation was good and I like the style. The story was creepy and interesting. I wished the story was drawn out a bit more by at least a minute. Overall, it was very cool.

DeadFlyFromMoon responds:

Thank you. ;)

[Sonic: Out of Juice]

The characters personalities from the old 90's show was spot on. The animation and video quality was really good but the character designs were a little weird looking. I liked the dark humor and the plot. It was funny and enjoyable.

kalabor106 responds:

Yeah the character design was running away. Some reason I couldn't stay to one type of style. Glad you seen past that and enjoyed it ;)

[Super Mario Doesn't Want To Run]

I liked the old Super Mario bros. Nintendo graphics and original sound effects. The dialogue didn't sound like Mario at all and the narrator sounded like the same voice actor. The humor was sort of funny and cliche.

storytellerYT responds:

the narrator was a different voice actor, and he wasn't supposed to sound like mario, that was the point.

[Push It 4000]

I wish the song in this video sounded a little bit more complex and interesting instead of some mundane sounding funky background music. The animations fit well with the overall theme of the music and was in sync with the audio. Overall, a well-made and fun compilation.

O-ro responds:

idk what you mean man matt kicked ass on the song

[Thrift Video Episode 3 - "Dan's Quinceanera"]

I've decided, I want my birthday at"Little Kid Land".

ThriftVideo responds:

This can be arranged. Bring three quarts of canola oil in an unmarked container, place a bag over your head and stand on the nearest street corner...a van will eventually come to get you.

[Dance of Blood under the Moonlight]

The subtle background music fit well with the mood of the video. An amazing drawing, very clean and colorful. My favorite part was the light reflecting off her hair. My only gripe was the constant zooming in and out and shaky camera.

JThunderProductions responds:

ValeriaKitten made a similar comment; I'm still going through the settings of OBS, trying to figure out something better. How I work is generally zooming in a lot erasing tiny overlays of other lines, colors, etc..., so to fix it might just be a capture of a separate window of what I'm working on. If I only cap that, you'll see the progress and some zoom, but that's it. I could do what Norasuko does, but that does, also, eat up computer performance (and mine, while awesome, could sure use an upgrade).

To be sure, I'll be experimenting with different setups!
