Atzu's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vanity versus Visionary]

Not sure why some didn't now what was going on with the girl. Anyway, the style was nice and the twist at the end got my attention to watch again. Because of the NG general mood I was expecting some kind of twisted joke or something more aggressive, which in turn ended up being something not so expected, refreshing and smarter? I dunno. I just know I enjoyed this submission both the story and the "flow".

By the way, if this was a tv classic cartoon I can imagine some kind of "vanity vs visionary" / brute force vs smart ass battle for the lady. The funniest I've seen was the one on the Disney's Sleepy Hollow, but your animation as it is, is just fine.

Keep up the good work.

Blordow responds:

Glad you understood and enjoyed how it flowed! I will keep it up for sure, thankyou :)

[Captain Useless Ep.1]

Heeey! What happened? It went so far so good and then you finished it to fast. The animation wasn't that great but at least it seemed like something was actually going to happen with Captain Useless. That just messed up a somewhat good intro for your chara and now the only characters I know something about is the pesky villain, the police Chief and of course "Sandwich man".
Come on, it looked like you could have done better, unless it was a joke of course >_O

[Heartless Hope]

Te quedó padre. Definitivamente hay una mejora a las animaciones pasadas, sobre todo en los planos que escogiste para contar la historia. El fondo de bitmaps de las nubes no queda mal con el de los vectores, aunque en el plano en que se ve la silueta del protagonista cayendo, el lago que se ve al fondo por los colores se ve sobrepuesto al suelo y le quita lo padre a la imagen. Fuera de eso, son detalles de animación en los que uno mejora con la práctica como lo estás haciendo y la música que le pusiste también le quedó bien, sin necesidad de diseño sonoro o efectos de sonido para crear el ambiente.

Vas por buen camino.

PD: Por cierto, me llama la atención los rasgos de tu protagonista un tanto (dime si me equivoco) 'Timburtonianos' por eso de la piel palida, el cabello negro y la vestimenta de rayas en un entorno de monstruos oscuro a blanco y negro. Me recuerda por ejemplo a http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view /360361 o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyMPF s4dZzs&list=UUXsXAdAW7Gg1Od7-eiC3Jhw&
index=9&feature=plcp de un amigo. Solo es algo que me parece curioso encontrar frecuentemente en animaciones con historia de cierto tono ¿Qué te parece?

Ozzycris responds:

pues muchas gracias, yo se que hay unas cuantas cosas que mejorar, pero pienso mejorar! :) y si me base en los dibujos de tim burton pondre la historia ya que hare mas animaciones con este personaje, gracias por tu comentario :)

[The Life Of Roy The Rose]

Pay no attention to useless reviews.

Do not pay too much attention on those 'useless' reviews, If you are doing it for fun, that's good enough. Now, even if you are not an animator, you could spend some time doing the main art that you could reuse to improve. Or you could also try animating a cheerleading performance that you like a lot to do and you understand it well with your body (a lot of good animators feel the poses before drawing them) or even one that you are not able to do in real life. I dunno, whatever you do, have fun doing it and do it with your hearth (hahaha now that sounds a little corny, but it doesn't matter :p)

Keep it up!

[Sucks To Be Weegie!]

Luigi needs to run to get the life.

Most art looks like what I remember from the web comic, but I think you could have used a faster phase for the jokes. Maybe you could try a timing that is more like the one when you read the web comic, or at least one similar to anime or any comic tv show you like. For example, I agree with the uncomfortable moment between peach and Dr Luigi, but it still it could have been shortened a bit, just the same with the first strip, the phase was so slow it looked like it was all.

So, it's like that one where the life prefers death before dishonor and comits suicide, luigi needs to run in order to catch it :p

Have a nice day, I think it was a good idea to animate that comic. Good luck next time Weegie

[Derp and the Walrus: Ep 5]

Could use camera movement.

The visual style was ok, but when it was only a shot of the fish and the walrus talking and the only thing moving was the water and that blu shiny thing which I will suppose is their cold breath or their words, it was visually boring.
In other animations where the jokes are based upon the dialogues they are kind of different, and most of times those jokes are helped by the expressions of the talking characters, yours were just sitting around doing some bla bla bla. Try to think of your characters as actors, fake they are alive, gave them a soul / an anima so your jokes are more vivid.
Suggestion: watch any sit com you like and watch the charas, take notes. Have fun with the references and with your creations.

[TrollScience (Free Oil!)]

Plastic bags... Will it blend?

And if it was little, having a blender capable of molecular division, you could become rich selling those... Or just have fun blending the universe till little particles

Problem? Laundry

[Deepest Ocean]

It was a good idea

But tou could have developed it some more so when it finishes, it gives you the "this is the cycle of life and death" feeling. At this rate, it feels incomplete.

Ef-X responds:

Thanks for the review. Your right about that, no doubt when I get better I'll come back and improve this piece.

[The Great Cheff]

Es como "no corras con las tijeras"

Porque sino te pasa igual que a este y te cortas hasta los dedos de la mano que supuestamente sostiene el cuchillo O.o jajajajaja

[Tank Half Full Official]

To slow for the song

Just like the last time this animation was submitted, you need to speed up the phase, maybe alternate beetween the car and the harmonica guy shots in order to hook the spectator, make him move his feet.
But if prefer to let it as it is even if other people told you the same... well, its up to you.

Things have changed since my last post and I have been compensated for my work...
