GoodL's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stick Baits cartoon - Men fooling around]

Super funny, you've got a good knack for comedy. Not a lot of things really get me to genuinely laugh on Newgrounds but these consistently get me. I've got some notes, aside from the obvious smoothing out the animation.
While I really like the backgrounds, I think you're living room scene looks a bit weird just because you've got that sort of 3D perspective going on with the corner and the door, but the couch just looks flat like a cardboard cut out. Make sure that if you've going to be doing perspective drawins on anything, you do it for everything in the scene.
Once again, good voice acting and the sound effects are a really nice touch.
Nice work :)

Will do my friend, thanks again

[Midnight Drive]

Background and foreground look awesome! I really like them. The car looks good, but the wheels are a bit wonky and don't really move as far as i can tell. I'd really like to see something like this more developed! Followed, hoping to see more in the future :)
Good work

TacoCanada responds:

Thanks for the honest review, I realize that it's only 2 seconds haha, but it did take me about an hour to make, so I was just looking for some feedback on my technique :).

[This Time on Jon Ep. Not Specified]

This is really good, I dig the style. Also fairly funny. I could go for some more background work tho. Good work overall.

kewbles responds:

thanks for watchin! i was going to put backgrounds in but its all so close up, youd barely be able to see them and i didnt think it would improve the video that much. also im lazy.

[Stick Baits cartoon - Men and roaches]

That was one of the best stick figure animations I've seen in a very long time, and I DEFINITELY think you've improved your style a lot. The animation looks really great, and the fluidity is definitely there. Also, I laughed quite a bit. It's really funny. Once again, the voice acting is really good, and you've got good sound effects. And the backgrounds look great.
I think the main problem is the fire at the end, if you're going to animate it like that I think it would look better if the movement was consistent. It just seems kind of jumpy.
Anyway, great work, keep it up!

acentertoons4 responds:

Haha, thanks a lot for your help.

[How to Face Your Fears]

I love it :) Really funny, and the ending was awesome. Good style, good backgrounds, all around good good good. Well done.

ComicQuake responds:

thank you <:

[Samus RAGEQUITS Metroid]

Pretty funny stuff :) I especially like the ending.

LevelUPAnimations responds:

Thanks so much :)

[Slippery Boom]

Looks really good, I'd recommend layering the grass a bit more. Have one solid green back layer so you don't have the white speckles where ground should be, then a layer behind the character, then a layer in front of the character. (You might have done the last two, it's hard to tell because I'm not sure if the legs and body are in separate layers). Looking really good though, good job :)

Ssuru responds:

Hey Thanks I hawe made a Stickman fight animation but when i upload it said im banned for 14 dayz for uploading more than 2 animations ? I dont get it why ? Not good enugh Animtions>

[Orange Eats Bananas With Style]

That was pretty good, I like it. Your character is interesting and the voice is fitting, plus the effects on the voice there at the last line were a nice touch. Good use of sound effects too. I couldn't help but think that whole time that you've got that green screen going for ya, why are you not using it? You could so easily chroma key your character into a more interesting setting. Maybe that was a stylistic choice? Personally I would have gone with some more background work. Good work overall. :)

ClayDay responds:

Thank You GoodL! I tried to mask to green screen for the first time, however after I exported the pictures the bananas turned greenish and I was having a very difficult time masking it. I will defiantly use a green screen properly in the future though.

[Creepy Eyeball Guy]

Nice! Excellent aesthetic, I love it :) The art style is really awesome. The animation could definitely stand to be a lil higher quality if you're able to, as in a higher pixel count. Love the background, love the idea. I followed, and I hope to see more cool stuff in the future. Good work :)

Artbyazpen responds:

Hey thank you so much!! That makes my day!! I tried to up the resolution on this piece but I'll try again next time! I REALLY appreciate you taking the time to comment! :)

[Nightmare Crusade - Episode 2: Home]

Cool cool, I like it a lot. It's well written, it's funny, the animation is good.
There are some problems with it though that I would like to see fixed up in future episodes (that I will certainly be watching!)
First off, the voice acting is good enough, but they aren't equalized in terms of volume. Some people are just downright notably quieter or louder than the others, and some times even the same characters' voices will get louder or quieter (the king does this). It shouldn't be all too difficult to fix that by just editing the audio files, and mastering all of them together so they are the same volume. Another pretty big issue i have with this is the sound effects and music are so choppy. You start and stop sound effects and songs without any fading whatsoever. Some simple fading in and out on the sounds would improve this animation by quite a lot. Out of curiosity, do you make the music or use public domain stuff?

I really do like it a lot, it's a good cartoon and got me to laugh several times, plus I dig the story. Looking forward to seeing more, well done!

MasterCyconide responds:

Thank you for watching and leaving a review!
To answer your question, the music is made by Myuuji and Caladan Brood, who allow people to use their music as long as credit is given. (I still asked Myuuji anyway, and he said I could use his music but I couldn't get in contact with Caladan Brood.) As for the title theme, it was crappily made by me.
