Loath-some's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zimmi EP 1]

Refreshing

Nice animation, NG really needs more animations like this... All that there is in the protal is either extreme violence or god knows what. So this was a nice refreshment and the portal needed it.

Good job.

Rutger responds:

Thanks a lot dude (:

[CoyoteVille - Episode .5]

Haha

Good and unpredictable joke, nice art. But the animation could have been better.
You seem to have some of the art knowledge necessary to animate but not enough experience with animating.

You should read some of the tutorials on anipedia (google it) and then search for elements of animation. If you need even more help with all this, I'd suggest you getting the book "The Animators Survival Kit" where the creator of "Who framed Roger Rabbit" explains the elements more throughout.

Hope that helps!

Draconis777 responds:

Thanks for the constructive critiques! I actually have that book (and videos) and it's helped immensely! I was able to do a decent walkcycle after practicing some of the stuff. I still have problems with being choppy but I figure that will go away with time and practice. There's also another book called "Animation Crash Course" that I've been going through and it's really good.

Hm, pretty nice

Sort of catchy song there, made me smile a bit to be honest!
The animation is better than usual I noticed. I really liked that, good job.
Most backgrounds were fine aswell but there was one I didn't like, the sunset. It felt too "gradient" like. But although, such backgrounds are hard to pull off. So I suppose that's something for you to practice on: Backgrounds.

I actually liked this more than your usual flashes with the crew.

eddsworld responds:

Took a lot longer, i liked the background more in this than my usual - but i hope its worthy for the song :D

[bluh bluh bluh.]

Nice job Wappin

Didn't know you could do stop motion as well man!
Good job.

RWappin responds:

eeYAY!

[Sketched - Therapy]

Nice story

I like the story and the way you made the voice acting. I'm not much for this kind of jokes though but I'm not judging on that. What I am however judging at is the story telling and the animation aswell as the quality of your drawing.

The drawings are decent, it works. But the animation was kind of sloppy, mostly because there's barley any face expression while they are speaking. They don't feel much alive.

But in overall, it's a fine thought out animation.

sirjeffofshort responds:

Thanks for your review. It was actually better thought out and more helpful than most. Doing a monthly series does take a bit of a toll and therefore certain things tend so slip, specifically facial animations. Hopefully as I get better I will be able to animate faster and the characters faces will become more expressive. Thanks for the suggestions.

[Rwd: 023 Silent Night]

Took 3 animators to create this?

Really, one person could have made this on his/her own in a few days. It was very short, hardly any good animation in it. The song was creative and quite funny though. But all in all it was just like some intro/opening to some series.

RadicalWrongDoers responds:

It's 2 guys. Radicalwrongdoers is the crew.
And we made it in one day.

[Emo Boy Ep.1]

Hahahaha

Lmao, I was randomly browsing NG and found this in the underground of the week.
Pretty funny since I don't know who you are, but thanks for the laugh and the exposure.

cHunter responds:

lol, thanks for the 10. ;D

[Tywo At Large Ep. #3]

Hilarious

This is great. Good job with the jokes and especially the backgrounds. Those blew me away completely. And like "Hedgepig" said, I watched Breakfast Club a few months ago myself so this was pretty funny seeing that in there, heh.

One thing though, some of the movements like walks and such looked a bit lifeless or stiff. That's the only thing I could say as for critique. And well yeah, try not to do those flashback kind of jokes, you'd easily be accused for stealing familyguy jokes, that's how it works nowdays.

All in all, great job on this. One of the better series I've seen on NG.

Pixmintro responds:

Thnaks, yeah, I'm still experimenting with some tweening so I'll try a little more FBF for the next movie. Also, those cutaway jokes are an isolated incident, just though of something funny and went for it... As long as it isn't a useless pop culture reference.

Little known fact: The Simpsons were the first to introduce cutaways, they stopped soon after Family Guy came on the air. :)

[MOAPAC - Episode 1]

ugh

I can see the effort you put into this, but it doesn't cut it for me. Really... Because when you make an animation you have to put up some kind of storyline and a plotline. You had none of those. You probably made up things as you animated? I did that when I started, it's not a good thing to do. You will end up having no structure to it. Also try to stay away from such random humor, I'm fine with silly things and stuff but this was just too much.

"Hi I'm a cow I don't eat keys"
"okay well, let's do the wave guys"
"okay"
"Fuck there's aliens in my shoe"
"lol okay"

That's somewhat the sort of humor in this. It's really not funny, the ones thinking it is are either very young or very childish. Don't make your series fail like this, it'd be nice to see something new around here.

RhysMus responds:

i find this animation funny and i made it, i am 18 yet i am a childish person, i make animation for myself not anyone else because it makes me happy, no matter if anyone likes it, i always will :D

[Awesome Center Redux]

okaay

I get the joke, it's kinda funny and the animation was of course better in this one, but to see the same jokes twice isn't as funny as the first time. I'd enjoy this bunches more if it was original (that was kind of ironic really).

I'm not a big fan of your stuff, but I respect your work and some stuff are quite funny but those reduxes are just pointless to me. Make something new, would you?

Egoraptor responds:

Nnnyes I'm working on this right now I'm just releasing the remakes I did for the DVD 'eh? That's what it says in the description you see and there's one remake left yes there is it's all in the description it is I swear.
