Mightydein's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[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.

[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.
