Mightydein's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[AN - Crazy Halloween]

This is actually really cool that you started animated from a significantly young age.

I like the scene scene transition effect of multiple black rectangles blacking out the screen.

And than those same black rectangles disappearing.

If you have managed to save the file used for that effect than you can easily recycle it for future movies.

You created a surprisingly awesome effect for such a young age.

I recommend that you start pumping out movies like a mad man for some extra practice.

You started animating from a surprisingly young age and you will easily have an edge against other animators.

Most internet animators start from much later ages than childhood and teens.

Keep drawing and pump out more movies.

Best of luck with your future endeavors.

I tried my best to gave your movies entirely unbiased reviews and hope to provide you with useful advice.

Wait, so your telling me your a fan of Awesome Nesscar? If you are, that's cool. And yeah, Awesome Nesscar was been release since 2006, as a school comic for my classmates to enjoy. In the late '2000s Awesome Nesscar was growing near 1,000 fans. It was success & funny back in my childhood, in the '2000s. And it's still popular till today. But on September 29, 2013 Awesome Nesscar is finally released in public. Now the whole world will finally get to know my popular childhood/teenager cartoon. Well I know the classic were a little bit childish. But hey, it's history. :D

P.S. My apologize for what I said about your movie. Can you forgive me? :(

[Awesome Nesscar - NVB '13]

I gave one of your movies a bad review and decided to watch some of your other projects.

I noticed this submission hasn't received any reviews yet.

You took the time create an animated short movie and it is only fair to expect some degree of feedback.

This movie was obviously animated in flipnotes.

I never seen a whole lot of animated movies produced on flipnotes anywhere here.

I like how you created animation using your nintendo DS.

I would recommend getting an SD card to save your flip note animations in a more direct fashion.

I would recommend exporting the animation as an animated gif.

Import the animated gif into flash and add sound effects, voices and music.

Than finally export the complete animation into an Shock wave file.

You can than convert that shock wave file into video using swivel.

The video quality is just a small nitpick but is easy to improve upon for future flipnote videos.

This movie is significantly more entertaining than your moscow music video.

I love the increased variety of visuals and your usage of multiple camera angles.

The movie was much more lively when compared to your music video.

I will look into your other movies and it is entirely possible for me to like those too.

Keep drawing and making new animations.

[Voicemail]

The voice actor did a good voice impression of the voice used in hollywood movies.

I remember that voice from sometime around the 2000's and 90's.

The voice actor did an excellent voice impression.

I wonder what other type of voices he can do.

The drawings were crude and the gradient background would be more suitable for the sky.

Solid colors would have been a better choose for the wall.

Turned on lights within the house would create shadows on the wall, man, phone, ect.

Observe how light from windows, light bulbs interact with the environment in your house.

Practice drawing the phone, tables, wall sockets and other parts of your surroundings.

We all spent the most time in doors and have plenty of chances to take inspiration from life.

The in door environment could have better looking backgrounds with a bit of practice.

Your character's ear has a gap with coloring.

Do whatever it is needed to avoid leaving gaps created by uncolored areas.

The guy's hands can be improved upon by taking the time to observe actual hands.

Take a look at your own hands and carefully observe the details.

The guy doesn't have any wrists and observing your hands will make better looking hands.

Teach yourself how to work out the poses of your characters by acting them out yourself.

Do whatever needed to work out poses.

Teach yourself how to understand your most crude drawings as three dimensional entities.

Keep practicing and you will create more polished flash movies in the future.

Best of luck with your brand new movies because they can only get better.

[Cat in the Box]

I liked the special effects for spot lights and smoke to enhance your crude drawings of cats.

Your drawings of cats can use a bit of improvement.

I like your usage of colors, shadows and special effects to create a more polished movie.

These small touches sometimes make for a better looking cartoon even if the drawings aren't great.

I like the attention to detail on the backgrounds, the musical instruments, smoke and lights.

The cats could be enhanced graphically by taking more inspiration off of actual kitty cats.

Practice drawing cats and than you can more easily animate them doing impossible things.

The music sounded a lot the actual band that was being spoofed.

I hope this review has help to provide useful feedback for future improvement.

[First Walk Cycle]

Good attempt at your first walk cycle.

I noticed you used a lot of frame by frame to move the legs.

The feet should bend a little bit because each foot has a series of bendable joints.

Try flexing different parts of your feet and you will notice different joints.

Arms, legs, feet and hands are surprisingly complex pieces of machinery.

The guy's hands were a bit small for his body and his wrists can use improvement.

Practice by drawing your own hand and observing the details.

You will quickly become better at drawing hands with a bit of practice.

I liked the backgrounds utilized for this walk cycle.

I hope my criticism will help you with making future improvements.

wo...thanx alot Mightydein... I will surely note down ur tips and suggestions....and I will try better and harder next time...thanx alot mightydein

[The Unknown Assassin]

This movie had a great mixture of motion tweens along with some frame by frame.

The black kid's tweened walk cycle can be improved upon by considering the complex joints within the body.

The foot alone has a few connecting joints; However the feet are not clearly visible on camera.

Mentioning the joints of the feet is kinda irrelevant for this movie review.

Observe how actual people walk and pay close attention to all the connecting joints in the arms, legs, feet and hands.

You can make better looking walk cycles with a bit of observation and practice.

I like the multiple camera angles utilized for this animated feature.

The sound was very subdued when compared to other movies.

You only used sound effects when they were needed instead of opting for constant noise.

Music can be effective for establishing mood; However, sometimes a more subdued soundtrack in appropriate.

The backgrounds at the playground were significantly better than the downtown area.

A lot of your buildings were mostly squares with crudely drawn doors.

Actual buildings are complex structures in a variety of shapes.

Cities and towns are very hard to draw.

Next time you visit down town.

Take some portable art supplies with you and take the time to observe the buildings.

You'll see a variety of colors along with different building structures.

I see buildings in real life that would make for beautiful backgrounds if faithfully recreated as a drawing.

Practice with drawing everyday objects in your surroundings to make improvements.

I like how you played around with pupils of the eyes to create different facial expressions.

You could also play with the shapes of the eyes themselves to really display emotion in your characters eyes.

Observe how real life people express their emotions with their face for inspiration.

People sometimes make really funny faces whenever their pissed, happy, sad, horny, hungry, ect.

Exaggeration is key for creating lively animation and expressive facial expressions.

I hope this review provides enough information to move you towards improvement.

You made a better first submission than most other people on this site.

[The uVac (A Science Proje]

Interesting little movie with a silly concept about an air filtering system.

The video is a commercial for an imaginary product.

The voice for your character is honestly a bit too young sounding for the sales man.

I would recommend having an adult voice that guy's voice instead.

Your own voice would be more suitable for teenage characters or children.

It shouldn't be difficult for a young teenager to get adult voice actors for adult characters.

Your dad, uncle or anyone on newgrounds might be happy to help with adult voices.

You can easily make improvements on voice acting by using the appropriate actor for each role.

If an adult is not available for voices than your next best thing is your own voice but digitally manipulated.

You could have altered the pitch of your voice using any possible sound editor.

A young voice coming out of an adult character's mouth will make your movie extremely amateurish to a certain degree.

It's kinda cool that you started making animations from a young age.

Your skills will become more highly developed than other animators that started at a later age.

I personally started making flash in my 20's and would have loved to have additional experience extending to childhood.

I look forward to reviewing your other movies and hope my advice has helped you.

Best of luck with your future endeavors.

[Awesome Nesscar - Moscow]

This music video is seriously lacking in visual variety since a lot of animation was extensively recycled.

Some of the gags for the music video were funny used once such as the tweened picture of santa for the ''ho ho ho'' lyrics of the moscow song.

I'd recommend spending less screen time on your singers because they barely even displayed a whole lot of movement.

There singing looked a lot like goldfish anime styled mouth flaps.

The two framed mouth flaps might be more effective for making fun of certain anime.

Try mouthing the lyrics of moscow in front of a mirror to assist yourself with lip synchronization.

Even just drawing random mouth movements will look better than goldfish styled mouth flaps.

I personally would recommend selection of a much more short song for possible future music videoes.

I would recommend switching between mediums to stay motivated with animation of your movies.

I got a feeling that you gotten bored while created your music video and recycled animation to cut down on your work load.

You could get away with recycling animation from pervious movies but not the same movie.

Your music video needs a lot more visual variety to make it more entertaining.

Next time use a much shorter song or find a way to have fun while working your ass off.

Better luck on your next music video.

I personally hated this movie but tried my best to give honest feedback without being needlessly nasty.

[DJ Sona - Undress me]

This loop was kinda boring in my own honest opinion.

You seems to pay very close attention to the female form to create your character.

The subtle use of gradients around that chick's ass was effective in terms of color.

The science fiction theme was another interesting choose to accompany the techno music.

Techno music and technology go well together for an effective music video.

The music sounded good.

The animation could have used more variety instead of a repeating loop.

I personally would have rather seen a new interpertation of repeated lryics rather the same animation again.

I personally hated your movie but tried my best to give honest feedback without being needlessly nasty.

I might like your other movies better.

I look forward to possibly reviewing your other submissions.

[The Importance of Busines]

Pretty silly short movie with a very perverse sense of humor.

I like the voice acting and the sound effects used for everything.

Most movies also use music as additional noise.

The sounds were very subdued when compared to the average quick gag movie.

The audience doesn't need constant noise to hold their attention and the lack of music was very effective.

Sometimes the most appropriate sounds are none.

This movie was worth a quick laugh and was very effective in the sound department.
