Mightydein's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[facepalm]

I love the many camera angles used for this movie.

The gory sound effects for blood and other fluids sounded excellent.

I love the sound used for blood spray.

The drawings and animation became more polished in the middle.

You have successfully demonstrated an improvement as you progressively worked on the same project.

The blood spray animation could use a bit of improvement by mixing different shades of red.

Blood is often different shades of red.

The guy put a hole into his own head by doing a face palm.

The hole in the head would still have parts of the skull, parts of brain, tongue, teeth, ect.

Try to understand how the face forms together including bones, brains and other parts.

You must understand how the things are put together before destroying it.

When you understand how the face is put together and destroy with a facepalm.

You can than make your gory sight gag even more visually disturbing.

The gruesome sound effects worked effectively for the gory sight gag.

The movie really gone crazy after that face palm gag.

I wasn't expecting the setting to change into a saloon.

The bad guy than appears and than runs off for an unexplained reason.

He trips on a rock.

The faceless man is suddenly a hero despite not doing anything at all.

He than flies into space on a strange creature and the movie ends.

The overall movie had a very dumb idea; However, the complete movie was still very silly.

I've enjoyed watching this cartoon.

Thanks for the review. The movie had a very stupid idea there's no doubt about that :P But to make things clearer, the bad guy got scared and ran away. I guess I could have made it clearer somehow. Thanks for the big analysis! It gives me a lot to think about.

[Squishy Boy]

This movie had some great coloring.

I love how you move away from using black outlines for coloring.

You used different camera angles.

The movie was a bit strange and it really confused me.

I didn't understand the narrative behind this movie at all.

Sometimes the animator produces a submission with a narrative only understandable to themselves.

I've produced flashes with incomprehensible stories and the general reaction was usually hostility.

The polished drawings have compensated for the lack of story and the result was a pure unadulterated oddity.

I enjoy seeing these kinda strange movies because it's care-free style.

I was entertained by this oddity.

InsanitySquid responds:

Thanks man, I'm glad you liked the colours :) Hopefully next time it will make sense.

[Eat It!]

The animation consisted entirely of motion tweens.

I would have loved to seen frame by frame animation of the locks instead.

The animation did sync with the weird al music.

It was basically a mini music and all the animation was completely relevant to the lyrics.

I would have enjoyed seeing the lock drawn in all kinds of crazy poses.

Good poses makes for better looking animation.

Strong poses are needed even more for tweened animation.

I already know the eat song by weird al.

I love how you have the food from the actual song already set up on the table.

That really added an extra element of comedy to the overall cartoon.

This was a humorous movie but it could have used a bit more polishing and refinement.

Maybe use a bit more fbf and combine it with tweens.

Better luck on your next movie.

[Fay - MOM]

I recognize this blonde headed kid from your other previous submissions.

You already have an established style recognizable as your own calling card.

I noticed that you have recycled some animation from a previous submission as a time saver.

The results was still an entirely new movie.

Sometimes past movies can be effective to assist with new animations.

Your character had a cute design.

The look is very simple in style.

The character's mother is a dying washing machine style robot.

The movie was very strange and had a very warped sense of humor.

This movie would have been perfect to upload on mothers day.

-Mightydein

willcamick responds:

I know right! I was working on it on mothers day but got side tracked. Thanks for the review ^_^

[Trevor the Cartoon Introd]

Great animation poses and love the use of FBF.

You used squash and stretch animation.

The facial expressions were lively and the animation used plenty of exaggeration.

Good work.

- Mightydein

Rovertarthead responds:

Oh thank you so much yes I've always have room in my heart for the original traditional animation work it's always my Fav and will definitely plan to keep doing them. Thanks for your review and ratings Mightydein much appreciated.

[The Joker's New Tattoos]

I have no familiarity with what you are making fun of.

Your parody seems to be based on a new comic book movie featuring the joker.

The joke is about how stupid a brand new character design is.

The joker talking to his tattoo artist was clearly making a bunch of dumb requests.

I have no familiarity with this new joker; However, the absurd tattoo requests still induced laughter.

The drawings could use a bit more improvement in my personal opinion.

Closer observation on reference material and drawing more slowly will produce more polished drawings.

The joker's chin is accurate for the most part.

The background looked kinda neat but was a bit blurry.

The overall movie was a good quick little gag.

[Kids React: 2 Girls 1 Cup]

The kids react videos were bound to be targeted for parody.

I'm not surprised that a satirical piss take on the kids react videos exist on either youtube or newgrounds.

I assume this submission was likely created by a younger child and utilized his voice appropriately.

My own voice wouldn't work effectively for children characters and I would have used high pitched voices.

My own voice acting would have been obviously been an adult attempting to imitate children voices.

The voice acting was very fitting for the appropriate and sounded like actual kids.

I assume children did voice acting in this submission.

The concept of a 2 girls one cup kids react would obviously never exist in reality.

The guys behind kids react would get into a lot of trouble for showing that viral video to children.

Their parents would clearly be upset at the kids react guys and arrests are possible.

The absurdity of the premise adds a lot of extra potential comedy.

I remember being a kid and my own reactions to being offended, shocked would be extreme over reactions.

The kids reactions are very much accurate.

Adults react to 2 girls 1 cup in a similar fashion.

You just need to exaggerate how the kids react to the obscene material shown to them.

Increased run time adds more opportunity to play around with the animation poses and faces.

I like how one of the kids merely screamed at the computer screen in horror.

The other kids seemed to have more subdued reactions but still clearly shocked.

This was a funny quick movie and has proven it's point in such a short length.

Not every flash needs to be a minute or more.

I love the graphic of the chalk board and on screen text.

It reminds me of the actual kids react videos.

The hand writing on the chalkboard could use a bit of improvement.

Some of the hand writing was a little sloppy in places.

The backgrounds were generally simple and crudely drawn.

A lot of the animation were motion tweens in certain places; However, the face expressions were funny.

I noticed the kids would make the same kinda facial expressions as an adult reacting in disgust.

The eye twitches in disgust and the body psychically moves away.

These were accurate reactions but a bit more exaggeration in the animation would really sale it.

The voice acting worked effectively as previously mentioned in this review.

Sound can really assist with any flash movie and is often an effective tool.

The actual two girls one cup music was a perfect fit.

It clearly demonstrated an understanding of your references.

Ideally you want to avoid using references but is sometimes unavoidable for parody.

A parody is basically a reference by itself.

Making fun of another work is obviously a reference to a certain degree.

Research is necessary to properly execute parody.

You gotta understand your subject before making fun of it.

I love premise of this movie and did get a quick cheap laugh.

Chauder responds:

Thanks for the feedback! The voices were actually all me, no one else, just a bit pitched up in Audacity ^^

[The little princess (pilot)]

The animation was obviously produced by someone inexperienced; However, the entertainment value was still there.

The back and white cartoon could have used a bit more color.

I love the camera angles.

The text was in another language and would make following the story difficult.

Translating the text into English would have been a big improvement.

Perhaps voice actors could have read from a translated version of the original script.

You wouldn't need to alter the Spanish text with translated audio.

The animation can remain entirely untouched with that small additional audio element.

I like how you used multiple music tracks in such a short movie.

Music can be effective for setting mood and sometimes be used to add extra humor.

The animated head bopping to "What is love" is a good example of humor.

The visual comedy broke through the language barrier of this submission.

This was an entertaining first submission and hope to see improvements soon.

I will later judge your better movies by higher standards.

Just continue to practice and pump out those practice movies.

-Mightydein

Aled1918 responds:

Thanks for you comment it helped us :)

[RE: PracticeToons (Extra)]

You can teach yourself lots of new animation techniques and improve with drawing with practice.

Quick practice movies is great way to improve drawing and animation techniques.

The collection of movies were very silly and progressively become more polished over time.

I loved you idea of combing past practice movies together as one submission.

I was entertained.

-Mightydein

[Poor Pika]

This was actually kinda funny.

Did you write those humorous lyrics for the song used in your submission?

I enjoy these quick little gag movies because they are often good for a laugh.

I like the little twist put onto the drawing on pikachu; However, more attention to detail could have been put into it.

The whole movie only used one drawing of pikachu.

Pikachu's could have used a bit of shading and giving shadows with clear direction.

The white background itself could possibly be a source of light.

That's generally a small nitpick about the graphics and wouldn't effect the comedy in either way.

The way pikachu was drawn was very comical and silly.

The animation of the entire movie was very primitive and obviously created quickly.

You can actually get lots of practice by making these kind of flash movies.

What really matters is that you had fun creating each new flash movie.

The quality of your work suffers whenever the animation process is not enjoyed.

You only want to make flash movies whenever it comes naturally to you.

It seems like you had fun with the creation of this flash.

I had a quick chuckle at this movie and was entertained.
