aggimajera's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[METAL GEAR 5 AFTERMATH]

This particular video encapsulated my feelings for the franchise. And the conclusion it came to. Thank you for the reminder of my own phantom pain: the pain of a game that could have been.

OblitusCS responds:

Thanks to you my friend! Yeah, I know, such a pity.

[5 types of Drivers and Riders in Vietnam]

Educational, and your English, while obviously not your first language, is charming in its own right. Maybe you could make more videos filling us in on more aspects of Vietnam! Most of us have no idea about your country aside from the fact we were at war with guerillas there decades ago.

Good video!

AirheadedIan responds:

Thanks a lot! I'm going to animate a series about life in Vietnam. Please look forward to it!

[Animated Teaser 08: Waiting]

As an example of your animation skills I'm most definitely intrigued. Here's hoping you manage to keep the quality consistent through and through.

ibrabdo responds:

thx m8

[The muderer in the forest]

For a flash movie it's not too bad. The animation is very basic and the audio is mediocre. It's not great but its entertaining. I gotta suggest that you practice more advanced animation techniques so theres more to look at instead of just giving us what appears to be flash cutouts that just follow a path.

Died multiple times on your quiz btw.

Drowsierstone responds:

ok I will try more advance animation but the quiz was a good idea

[The Creators - Part 1 of 3]

Rotoscope? If so it still makes for stellar animation. Stands in contrast to the rest of the animation.
Story is relatively entertaining for what it is... My question though is who the hell is Arkan?

chicken-tits responds:

A lot of the body animation uses rotoscope, yeah. Arkan is the character that falls from the sky - the story follows wherever he is at the time. He has more of a role in Part 2, so I might remove his name from the description, as thinking about it, that probably makes things more confusing... Cheers for the comments!

[Preview of my Sonic Sprite Animation!]

I've been on Newgrounds a while. Welcome!
Maybe I could give you a couple of tips based upon what I saw. Not too bad and definitely satisfactory. I can see you doing some pretty good sprite animations.
Main thing is sound design. I noticed a couple of audio clips seemed to cut off, reminding me I was watching a cartoon and breaking the immersion. Polish up your audio a bit. Secondly, text reading. Works for subtitles. But as the sole source of dialogue delivery? On Newgrounds you have access to a wide array of actors and actresses waiting for an opportunity to voice in videos who will gladly accept an offer to lend their talents. Check out the Audio Portal! There's plenty of talent there waiting for you to tap into.
Also, that stretch of video where silver just stands there while text is exchanged seemed to drag on a bit for my tastes. I found it rather mundane. Animation is all about movement. Make it move!

My 2 cents. Welcome to Newgrounds!

BlueParadox responds:

Thank you for watching my animation & for providing feedback! :)

(Sorry if my english is bad, english is not my main language)

About the audio:

A few people have told me that the audio in the video seems to cut off a little bit haha. I'll look into the audio once I finish adding a few touches to the scenes! :)

About the dialogue/text:

I'm not really sure if I want to add voices to the animation xD
Honestly, I think that the animation without any voice is fine haha. However I could add voices into remakes of my sprite animations. Since I'm going to be studying 2D & 3D Animation at college, I'm planning on remaking my sprite animations in 3D animation or 2D animation and MAYBE I could add voices to those animation remakes because 3D & 2D animations without voices is kinda weird xP

And about Silver just standing without any movement at the end:

Silver's sprites aren't actually official, they're fanmade & his sprite sheet doesn't have a lot of sprites sadly :/

I was planning on making a scene where Silver fights the villain and then he loses and the villain grabs him by the neck but Silver's sprite sheet doesn't have any sprite that would allow me to do this sadly. However, I could think of something so that the animation can have more movement at the end!

Again, thank you so much for your feedback! I will improve my animation based on your feedback! :)

[The First Revelation]

Eh. Story is pretty funny in a God-awful, damn that sucks type of way. Animation on the other hand... barely qualified as animation. Very little in the way of moving parts. Story was the only thing that kept me and not the art style. Then again, you never promised anything else than a story so I guess its not too bad.

Tellmytale responds:

Thanks for the criticism! I will definitely try to improve the animation. I started recently. It's going to take time but I am sure I can improve Quality. Thanks again!

[Memories and stuff]

Boom. You captured what my first break-up felt like to me to. If this video is true to life, I'm glad you handled it in a mature manner. Good animation and fitting music. Though my only complaint is that the animation itself was stiff. The fluidity just wasn't there. Not distracting, but noticeable.

TraineeArtist responds:

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I'd like to say I handled the break-up maturely, but that may just be my memories being biased. But yes, break ups suck, but working on this animation reminded me it's better to remember the good times instead of dwell on the ending.
In terms of the animation, I'm still just experimenting with style and technique, so thanks for the feedback.

[Walk 'N' Talk]

After a rather misleading thumbnail, I was shown instead to a pretty well executed cartoon walk. Though to be honest, not too much of a fan of the "rigging" aspect. But hey, it worked.

Props to using Clint Eastwood as your voice. Spit was spot on!

NuclearSatan responds:

Thanks! the thumbnail was used as a placeholder as I am planning on making a proper one when I have time. I appreciate your feedback.
