Atzu's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Your Mom is Dead pt.3]

Well...

I suggest you to investigate about the "action axis", I think that's how it is called, it will help you with those "jumps" your animation's got.
There was an old film that had a very explicit problem with that, if I remember the right name may I PM you and send you the name or the link of it for you to check it?

majikphat responds:

I know the 180 degrees rule, but animating is so hard that I forget. I'll keep it in mind for my nex animation. Thank you.

[G3N1U5 HappyNewYear V.1.1]

All those flash-cuts can be disturbing

Try using direct-cuts, and making a better sound design for the next one. The concept wasn't bad at all.

3V1L-G3N1U5 responds:

>Ok thanks

[Coffee Break.]

Love the style

Could you tell us how did you draw it? Its so well done, sometimes it looks you really used a brush and coffee, Where some of the draws hand made? Or did you use photoshop? Anyway, like WCCC wrote, the style and the mood where smooth and very good.

Foxcato responds:

Thanks for the 9.
About 90% of the graphics were drawn on paper and painted with real coffee.

[My Way]

Finish it!

(Until you finish it, I will rate & vote for it)
Acábala o fijate si no hay un error donde dice que ya se acabó, la sincronización con los labios esta buena, el cantante y los acompañante me parecen bastante bien.
La animación está minimalista, si tu idea es contraponerte a la canción con eso está bien, de lo contrario, añadele algo de ropa a tus personajes y algún fondo, claro, si crees que sea adecuado.
Eso sí, cuando la vuelvas a poner, si es que la vuelves a subir a Newgrounds, ponle subtítulos opcionales, (haz un botón sencillo que modifique la variable _visible a "true" o "false" de un movie clip que tenga los subtitulos) estoy casi seguro de que te lo van a pedir.
Cambiale lo que quieras, pero igual terminala, me agrado bastante.

If you didn't understand me because I missnunderstood you speak spanish, PM me.

[Grim Town - Cry Dinosaur]

Mwuahahah...

Very funny, I liked a lot how you remade the Grim's characters. Just one suggestion: change that "augh" when they're running away from the dinosaur, it's not very convincing. I liked everything else.
I'm looking forward to see more animations of yours like this one...

[Leftovers]

Jejeje Good, very good.

I liked a lot your animation and drawing style, somehow it fits very well with your story. Everything looks very natural.

[KeybladeChroniclesTrailer]

Good

You've got some interesting images/planes/cuts in your animation.
There are four things I suggest you to improve by now:
1.- You already know how to make motion tween, don't abuse of it anymore, experiment and begin using different symbols/draws/grops, you'll find your own animation style then. Don't abuse of the movie clip loops either, try to make it all more organic.
2.- Improve your backgrounds, give them more detail. There was an awful one when a "black enemy" jumped, watch animes and look how do they do it. Watching and learning from others can always be good.
3.- You've got four sound sources: music, dialoges, off voice, and sound effects, don't forget them in your first episode.
4.- Keep drawing and practicing. Anime, they say is the simplified version of manga, still, it needs a lot of work, practice and study.
Keep going.

PBass responds:

Thanks for the tips!

[Across The Universe]

A few things...

I got a few things to say:
1.- Do people have always to drink to see this kind of things? Why do they always need some drug?
2.- The fade outs at the moon with the woman aren't quite necesary at all. I know they are all part of the rhythmn but you could try and see the results. Fade outs mean that a lot of time has passed.
3.- Rain it's not vertical you know? Maybe you could leave it vertical because it somehow it fits the "intention" of that scene, but if you put some rain groups falling in very lighty different direcctions, your rain may seem more realistic.
This are just a few suggestions, but at the end It all depends on what do you say.

[espacio sideral]

(5/10 because it's not finished.)

I've got a suggestion for you, why don't you finish it but in instead of trying to express what you don't feel anymore about her, why don't you try to express what you feel right now?
I kind liked the idea of animating this song, I just would prefer it to be not to obvious, you don't need to be literal about this or any song, better try to create something that tells us what do you see when you close your eyes and hear it.

[Primal War 13]

Mostly very good

I just write this review because of your sound effects; visually, your animation is very good. Your sound effects feel and hear too soft when they should feel stronger; just like your brute and primal characters, the sound they make should reflect their way to be the same way you did it in the animation.
I suggest you to carefully hear a movie like king kong, got my point?
Hope this helps you in anyway.
