devoidgazer's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zmorg Inception (pilot episode)]

Nice work! I can tell that a lot of effort was put on the production because 3 and a half minutes is quite a lot, your effort was not in vain! A few things to note, some still-shots went on for a bit too long. Some shots were also awkwardly placed. I had a difficult time understanding what was going on until I viewed it a second time.
Other than that the sound design was really great. The music really fit the sort of humor tense moments of the episode, hope you continue expanding on this lore :)

LostChronology responds:

Thank you for the constructive criticism! :)

Yes, actually I started more focused on music production and tried to take up digital visual art and animation later on, so I have a bit more experience with sound design like the design of the alien voices which I built up with the help of Vital (a wavetable synthesizer) and heavily changed with effects to change the mood and sounds of it for the simulation of talking. In scenes like the walking scene to the computer at the end I have increased the metal bonk step volume gradually to add to the realism sound wise of that scene.

It definitely took a lot of effort, in the end I worked on this for 2 weeks and I had to draw, color and animate everything by my own which is the reason why some scenes are more worked out than other scenes, I still hadn't colored and animated everything by the 19th of July and I am sure that the quality would have been better overall had I taken more time, but I decided it was more important for me to make the deadline than to maybe have a better result, but not being able to participate in the Saturday Morning Newgrounds event with my submission which I worked on for the entire day at some days to get it finished in time.

I'd like to DM with you to get a bit more insight on the shots technical wise as I would like to improve on that.

Again, thanks for your helpful feedback!

[Flipping channels]

Absolutely loved the Stanpai and Corey duo on this one <3
As always those two deliver the best voices

VoicesByCorey responds:

I agree! Stan was absolutely fantastic as Tom!

[Salad Fingers the Macabre Boy Show]

What a crossover, love it man awesome work! Corey seems to be in a lot of the submissions XD

VoicesByCorey responds:

There's more to come! XD

[NEON]

Woah sweet animation, love the visual effects :]

Just a nitpick but the missed kick felt a bit weak. Despite the recoil of the character from the impact, I believe having less frames on those parts would help emphasize the strength of it. As well as more offset on the character. The last part I understood it as, she gave him a pat on the back. Maybe if the hand was drawn with palm facing towards the viewer it would be more visually understood.
Overall sweet animation. Nice pacing even if the ending felt a bit quick. Really great follow through

Kuwrys responds:

Wow Thank you so much for the extensive feedback! Dully noted! I want to animate even bigger impacts/shocks in the future, will definitely keep that in mind :))

[Pokemon snap, The secret technique.]

Aye pretty neat, the slur book really does wonders!
My only concerns were the audio, it was hard to hear. The audio is pretty low even when I raised my volume at 50. The voices didn't help either, some were pretty monotone and I had to raise the volume even more. Other than that great vid, nice backgrounds and humor.

skosh55 responds:

Thanks for confirming that the audios low, im gonna re upload a louder version so people can hear it better

[Senpai SimDate - Ending A]

The GOOD ending? haha

Stanpai responds:

Ending A. No one said anything about it being good!

[alVERBet - "E" animation progression]

Nice clean animation, liking the sound effects. If I had to guess, the verb is erode?

DamnSpiffy responds:

You are absolutely right! The word is indeed "erode"! Thanks so much for guessing!

And thanks for the compliment on the animation! Ironically, this more subtle action took tons more frames to make than the previous ones. I'm glad you like it!

[11th plague of egypt]

The sound effects are great. The breathing really makes it feel terrifying 0_0

vadbibe responds:

thanks a lot! hope i didnt gave you nightmares

[Funkterview]

Great stuff! The audio was a bit hard to hear, but other than that, nice animation. I found it funny that they would report boyfriend as this celebrity that raps on Philly, the slight worldbuilding implication is a nice touch.
*psst* fill tool + pencil tool for shading *wink* *wink*

rroketa responds:

Oooh thanks!! My audio went through a bunch of stuff so yeahhhh. I actually JUST figured out my problem with coloring tho ^0^; I like using the brush tool bc my lines look cool. I just shoulda used 'paint fills' instead of 'paint normal' I think

[Friday Night Fightin']

This is sick!!! Dope shit man, keep at it loking forward towards its completion!

KingShada responds:

Thanks, I'll try! Me too!!
