AlmightyHans's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["PROOF"]

it was okay.

i liked bits of the art style. but some stuff i dont think didn't quite go together as well as it could have. Like color choice or texture usage. But i liked the over all idea. Although the pacing was a bit off. you held on moments a bit to long and evenly, no matter what the context or rising action was. That's a very typical thing to see though. I mean so much is needed to be considered when making an animation and i've found myself becoming carried away on one thing, and because of that, weakening the rest of my piece.

One BIG suggestion is to find a new "whoosh" sound. That one version of a 'woosh' got really repetitive and you used it for every motion the characters did. especially with that quick, segmented "start-stop" approach to your animation.

I over all enjoyed the piece just trying to mention a couple things that maybe you might want to consider for next time. I hope i helped.

[Ashley SNAPS!]

You're a very good animator

It was short and sweet. That was a Ren and Stimpy clip right? Keep up the awesome work!

[ZombieMurderExplosionDie]

It's okay, but I think it could be better...

In a world like ours, where zombies are literally taking over every medium and art form, this is not original, but that's not the problem. The art and animation is great and I can see you put a lot of time and effort into it and it paid off.

But there is something I would like to stress and not out of hate but out of love for young animators trying to get their shows... and this is what I have to say:

"Voice actors, DON'T DELIVER ONE LINERS LIKE THEY'RE ONE LINERS" I'm not saying this to sound snobby, but really, delivery is everything in your jokes. If the voice actors can't deliver it it ruins a perfectly good moment. It is SO easy to make a laugh turn into a cringe. Trust me I know. I've failed to deliver many lines and at the time, maybe they seemed like they worked for whatever meaning and backstory those lines were, but months later if i watched it again and had a more fresh perspective i realized how flat and dull i had done.

again i intend no hate, but i do see this happening in this cartoon. The characters deliver their lines like they have already heard the joke before and are merely reminding people what the joke is. that tone has a detachment that hurts the humor.

Alright i'll shut up now, but I just wanted to throw that out there for you. Because I see this happening a lot. Humor doesn't just come from what is said, in fact most importantly it's how it's said.

[The Northern Incident]

That was amazing.

*SPOILERS*

A very beautiful and well crafted short. But all spoiled by such a stupid punchline. I mean, I'm not against the false setup for a funny joke. but a furry joke? seriously?

I dunno, was weak. I felt you could have concluded it better. And your whole movie depended on your conclusion. it was all build up.

[Swimmin with the Sharks]

This was fucking hilarious!

I'd say this is my favorite voice acting tomar's done! i really liked the variety you put in it voice wise, and the animation was simple and very effective as usual Arin. GREAT JOB ON THE MUSIC CHRIS! I like the one shark that has no facial features. just a normal shark.

[The Last Man on Earth]

Merry Christmas

The last man on earth doesnt have to read the same paper every day.... if he makes a new one. The last man on earth can spend christmas without his family, but he can remember the good 'ol days with them....

jesus guys! be positive! it's christmas!

that was really good, just a 9 cause i feel the audio could have been clearer.

Dunso responds:

Thanks man, I'm a complete audio noob :P

[SuperVillain V]

Aw, christ.

I'm tired of this. Every moment holds for two seconds before it starts, and holds for two seconds after it ends. Just because it's drawn on paper doesn't make it okay, or stylish. The pacing of this video is like grandma hitting hard on the breaks after every few feet of driving at 4 miles and hour.

I love your style. That I'll give you, but you've been relying on the fact that you do it on paper for too long. To the point where you haven't developed your sense of timing.

[Circle n' Square 2]

props dude.

that was absolutely genius.

[Run Baby Horse!]

I think newgrounds needs to remember...

that not every damn thing on this site needs to be a short cartoon. Don't criticize an experimental walk cycle like you would a short. the idea of submitting a cartoon to newgrounds is to get feedback on your work. not just entertain you.

anyway aside from that I think the animation is very nice and fluid, my personal favorite aspect of this running cycle is the style and approach you took to coloring it. you really captured that velvety feel horse skin has. it's very nice.

I only voted this a 9 cause i think the head doesn't move quite as good as the rest of its body.

['Rageous 7]

That was very well put together.

I have to say thats the best collab i've seen in a long time. It was refreshing to see a good one again. really really awesome.
