Mightydein's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Red Trip]

I found myself to be hypnotized at certain moments of this music video.

The visuals were often trippy and served with assistance to creating an entirely different reality.

Animation has that ability to create entirely new dimensions and is the closest possible medium for displaying dreams.

Human hands are still required for programming 3D animation programs.

It takes even more work to make that 3D animation look good.

I really love the cel shaded look of certain pars of the entire music video.

The music sounded a whole lot like classic 8bit video game music.

The electronic music added onto the electronic animation.

I would be interested in seeing more experimentation with the animation medium more often.

Animation has an incredible level of freedom to create and explore these strange new worlds.

I look forward to seeing more stuff from you.

Best luck with your future endeavors.

Strowtocin responds:

Thank you very much. I love cel shading too.
That comment was just what I needed. You'll definitely be seeing more stuff from me in the near-ish future. Hopefully the next thing will be better than the last.

[Kid Goku Dragon Ball Z]

You took my advice about including the time it took for creating your speed drawing.

I like how you decided to color the drawing for this video; However, I would have prefer seeing a more complex drawing.

You could try taking your time with the creation of increasingly polished drawings.

I've never seen a speed drawing video utilize water color paints, crayons or whatever else.

You could change techniques for coloring each speed drawing for the sake of variety.

I don't entirely agree with your music selection because of your subject matter.

You were drawing goku and the dragonball theme song would have been a more appropriate selection.

Music selection is an important aspect of these speed drawing movies.

The music having a relationship to your speed drawing would have made for perfect speed drawing videos.

This was a neat speed drawing video but different music selection would have made improvements.

I look forward to seeing new speed drawing videos.

Best of luck with your future endeavors.

[Gebfdgh Mea]

The language barrier makes following the story in the main feature to be extremely difficult.

The entire submission could benefit from being translated into english.

With all that said; I'm impressed with the overall presentation of this flash.

The interactive menus were very cool and the animated loops for each menus was beautiful.

The main feature was not nearly as polished when compared to the menus.

I would like to see another movie presented in that interactive dvd format.

The flash movie with dvd styled menus is still very cool.

I would have liked to see more extras on this movie.

Make more of these dvd styled flash movies.

-Mightydein

Bluture responds:

Thank you so much to see this and more to took your time to see that little things I make and tell me your comments.
I was thinking in translated to english but only the texts. Because the audio was from a video recorded by Rachel (As appears in the animation).

Would you like to see this again when I updated to english?

[Sally Broken Heart]

I seen a lot of these speed drawing videos on youtube.

I like a lot of those speed drawing videos because it gives you a chance to observe different drawing processes.

You seem to draw straight ahead rather than create the skeleton of that drawing first.

Were you drawing from memory or using reference material?

Drawing can often be a very slow process and I assume it took patience to edit your video as well.

You could include stats about the time it took for creating your drawing.

I will assume your time would be around a half hour.

Including stats about time, art supplies and other things would create a more interesting speed drawing video.

Maybe the next video might be more interesting.

I hope these suggestions help with creating a better speed drawing video in the future.

-Mightydein

Bloodyanimation responds:

thanks men i will give more stat next time and i hope you enjoy this

[Just Like Balloons]

Interesting little slideshow.

You likely used a digital art program to create each image.

Many of the slides were zoomed in on, spun and generally manipulated.

I'm normally used to reviewing fully animated features and seeing a slide show is outside the norm.

I learned that my eye tends to be more critical of slideshows because of extra time to soak everything in.

The slides that shown fire looked pretty good.

Many of your lights and shadows looked great too.

I consider your drawings to be a bit crude but a lot of the coloring in your digital program enhanced those drawings.

It's very difficult to review a slide show but I tried.

-Mightydein

89animegirl responds:

I really appreciate your response! And yes, I used Gimp 2.8 to create each image. Thank you so much for the feedback, again, I greatly appreciate it.

[Sonic 15th 4Real - Part 1]

The video's concept is a series of comedy skits featuring sonic the hedgehog.

The short skits themselves have the same overall look; However, this movie could be enhanced by utilizing different styles for each skit.

I honestly couldn't tell the skits apart without title cards separating them.

One skit you could use sprites, another skit can drawings, ect

You could change styles for each skit and create an entirely unique experience with this sketch comedy show.

Although the concept is parody.

This sonic skits show has a lot of potential.

Make another.

-Mightysein

RicPendragon responds:

They're supposed to have the same overall look, it's only being made by me, if it was a collab, then different styles would make sense.

If you check my movies, you'll see that Sonic Skits is actually part 4 in a series, officially it's Sonic 15th 4Real. And I will say, that the first 3 of this one are older than the 4th skit, because there was a 2 year gap between making.
If you check my Youtube, you'll see my other parts, but I will bring them here soon.

[To The Right]

I would work on eliminating the live action intro this video.

The main attraction of these animated cartoons is the very animation itself.

That intro was only a few seconds but still felt out of place.

I've often seen roy haggard movies in the commercial sections of Yonder ho.

I had no idea that roy haggard was you.

I've always assumed those were movies you used after getting roy's permission.

The little green guy in your movie looks like a spider with two legs.

That little green guy was always moving and you used plenty of backgrounds.

I'm impressed at the level of effort for this short cartoon.

It was surprisingly entertaining.

I had no idea that you created stuff outside of the Yonder ho series.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

-Mightydein

Bertn1991 responds:

Thanks! : D The green guy's name is Green. I think it's time I take him out of retirement : )

I've been making the show since 2011. This episode was made back in 2013. There's about 70 episodes in total, though, I rarely ever make them anymore. The Roy Haggard show is just meant to be weird. A staple of the show is that it never uses any sort of scripts or writing. I just make it up as I go along. And I'm not Roy Haggard. Can't say I know anyone by that name. There is no one in the show by that name either. My name is Brent, though, I've switched the letters of name around in my user name to spell Bertn (Burton)

Anyway, I'm getting off topic. Thanks for watching! I might upload more. Maybe other episodes will be better received.

[Yonder Ho! - Episode 9]

This episode felt short when compared to other episodes.

The standard episode of yonder ho is most often running for a half hour.

The sub plot about pete in the tower is starting to make a bit more sense because a goal has been established.

Pete is gonna visit his sister at her new house.

This information could have been established in the pervious episode by increasing the length.

Most people don't have the patience to watch the same installment of a series for too long.

Splitting individual episodes into a serialization can be effective for creating an element of suspense.

Getting your audience invested in the story and than end at the standard time for creating a feeling of suspense.

Creating effective an two part episode is a difficult balance to strike.

This episode used drawings of giant cats instead of the gag photos.

The gag photos were funny in the pervious episode; However, that simple sight gag would have lost it's comedic punch.

Pete's sister is the main protagonist of this extra long episodevof yonder ho.

You've revealed that pete's sister is capable of being petty when she took revenge for an insignificant reason.

That event happened in the pervious episode and it could have been cut without effecting the overall story.

But that scene of the girl burning the tent in your pervious episode serves as a contrast.

This episode reveals that pete's sister while capable of being spiteful can also show great compassion.

The mayor of the city was about to solve the giant cat problem by destroying the creatures.

Pete's sister shown compassion by stopping mayor blue john from hurting the giant cats.

It has been perviously established that pete's sister hates cats and shown capability for petty spiteful behavior.

This is surprisingly good character development despite your inclusion of certain events being irrelevant to the main story.

Cutting the tent burning scene would have taken away a lot of character development away from that girl.

That scene while irrelevant to the story is important for different reason.

It kinda reminds of life since events irrelevant to the story do often happen.

People often leave these events out and you opted for it's inclusion as a strong contrast when pete's sister demonstrates compassion.

Pete's sister became a more three-dimensional character from that series of events.

Your pervious episode has seen improvement from the new events of this second part.

I would consider episode 8 and 9 to be the same episode.

Episode 8 would have worked better by combining it with episode 9.

Most people would not watch such a long installment and splitting the story into parts was a wise decision.

That is my review for episode 9.

- Mightydein

Bertn1991 responds:

Thank you for watching all 9 episodes. Episode 10 is quite a ways off. It's gonna be while I'm afraid. One of the cons of one person doing all the work I suppose.

Jenemazzi is probably a more thought out character than Pete. While you're right to say that she is spiteful and cruel, she does show compassion. Though her reasons for standing up for the cats were intentionally out of spite, she does show compassion for them. I don't want to spoil how it ends, but it's probably not what anyone expected.

I honestly can't tell you how grateful I am that somebody I don't even know would not only watch 3+ hours of some dumb cartoon show I made, but write thoughtful reviews on all 9 episodes. You've been very honest and kind, and for that I thank you. You are cool : )

[Inaction]

Interesting little CGI experement you did.

Jay and Silent bob look a lot like moving action figures and the quick-stop set looks like cardboard.

This scene movie could have also been created in claymation.

Your CGI cartoon looks great.

-Mightydein

BungalowBelf responds:

Thank you, they are in fact based on the "Clerks: The Animated Series" "inaction" figures.
