Masquatto's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[OMFG!! Zombies!!!]

I was in it yet again. ^-^

You've really improved. The easing is noticeable, and the overall visual performance is quite nice. Cameo = 10. Fifened.

biblo responds:

Ah thank you very much! You'll be in many more to come!

[Crayon Parade]

Very Stylish

It's got a nice concept and shows good visuals. I quite enjoyed this piece. It's got a good shot at being a nice series.

The Best Visual Performance on Newgrounds to Date

Let's run down your visual analysis:
+ You certainly have easing down.
+ You understand perspective.
+ Your mouth animation is timed correctly.
+ You have good character layouts.
+ Your animation was overall smooth and well-done.
- You used an excess amount of imported jpg/gif files for a few things (primarily backgrounds).
- You used radial gradients way too much on your character models.
- Your mouth animation could be better. You need to watch yourself saying it in a mirror. Also, if you really want to do it well, you should use a mask and move the teeth under it with motion tweens, and move the tongue underneath with shape tweens. You should also be sure to move the lower jaw whenever his mouth opens more than just a little bit. If you don't feel like doing that, at least remove those lines around the sides of the mouth. They are unnecessary and actually make it look worse.
- You, for some reason, altered the alpha on some of your lines. I don't know why you did this. It's unnecessary, and it would probably look better without that.

You did a very very nice job even with those suggestions. I haven't seen better on newgrounds, fortunately or unfortunately. You deserve #1 on the charts here at newgounrds more than anyone else. Keep up the good job and follow my suggestions and you'll get very far.
Lol... must feel weird: taking advice from a 15 year old like me. :-P

You get my fifen.

Well, I hope you get to read this. Good luck on finishing the full version.

Wow, you have a keen eye! Thanks for the sincere review! The alpha on some of the lines was intended to make some shapes look soft, like the skin, metal glow, etc... but I only discovered to do that half-way, so some of the lines of the alphas remain unchanged, cuz it'd be too much work to go back and change all of them... I know what you are saying about it being unecessary, but I just wanted to try new effects too :P

[Pencilmation #1]

I was quite a pleasant experience.

However, I docked off style because it was kind of a copy of this: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/161200
Still, it was very good. Keep it up.

[The Linda Show : Atkins]

Not very good.

Graphics: The art was fair, and was very good on the food and the food only, but the animation was desperately lacking easing.
Style: It was too much like your other movies. I actually never smiled at all, even during the time when I think you were supposed to laugh.
Sound: It would have been fine if not for those damn laughter sequences. They are annoying as hell. Don't use them.
Violence: -
Interactivity: -
Humor: Not funny at all. If you could please point out the jokes to me, that'd be great, because I couldn't find any.
Overall: Work on your writing, and add easing into your animation.

[Bob the Ball - Episode 2]

Hah, very funny.

I liked it quite a bit. A very nice sequel to an aready great movie.

Fifen.

[Psycho Bunny]

Very nice. I'd say top 100, not top 50, though.

Graphics: Very very well done character models. However, there wasn't very much actualy movement, and the movement that was there didn't always look too great. The background art was fairly good, but you should have used vanishing points more often.
Style: A good way of protraying things with a fluid structure. However, it was lacking a more complex story.
Sound: I actually found the song to be annoying. They would repeat certain phrases over and over and it got dull.
Violence: The blood was very well done, and the black blood was a very nice effect. Shouldn't change anything here.
Interactivity: -
Humor: -
Overall: Work on actual animation. Make sure you use plenty of easing (which I don't think you know how to use, from the lack of it), and just plenty of movement altogether.

[Lock Hawk Down Part One]

I was in it so you get fifen.

^-^

Very well made. 'Twas directed and animated very well, and I most certainly look forward to part 2.

[a hat]

Not very good.

Graphics: The only animation was a mouth movie clip. The still graphics were plain and un-shaded.
Sound: Would have been alright if the people didn't all have the same voices...
Style: It was dull and plain.
Humor: I didn't even smile. Sorry.

Good luck on the next one.

[Never B Your Woman]

It's awsome, of course...

But the more I look at my part, the more I realize how shitty of an animator I was just a month ago. =-O

Ah well, I think we did a good job. Fifen, of course. :-)
