DreadMore's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Possessed 👻🤺]

Very nice, full of ideas, funny.

Note:
Seems like Miss Ghost Princess found out she likes it when they fight back :)

[Majora's Pass]

Who's done the music and sound effects, the music sticks so much in head it's even a little bit disturbing (which maxes out the potential for the already well made animation). Everything through face zooms, quirk face expressions, empty pupils, DRINKING (I think that's the most disturbing way someone would drink in front of anybody), plus your the author's one and only over-the-top color palette with strong contrast.
Initially really quirky feelings about it, but I'm watching it 3rd time already, so yeah, that deserves everything it does :D

Magibauble responds:

I made da music n sound. I'm glad you liked everything so much 🥺.

[STARING CONTEST]

I keep re-watching it and I'm fond of taking interest in different things per view.
Things I've noted that I like about this animation:
- Barbarian, bane of all that is evil, more cruel than his enemies :D
- the TWISTS at the end (so good and unpredictable)
- scenery (I liked the wizard statue in the background)
- mimicry - (the steps of making the barnarian more and more sinister :D)
All in all, very nice

[El Dorado Redialed | Tzekel-Kan's Sacrifice Scene]

All in all nice collab (except of course the ones with excessive genz "humour" that involves people screaming, hate that) - stark contrast between the screaming and cute sacriffice, Multitude of techniques used. Wouldn't watch again cause of the screaming (don't want to watch a movie again if I know I have to lower volumen/mute at some points).

But all in all good team effort, clearly seeing people working on transitioning from one person to another.

WesMakowski responds:

sorry you were turned off by the random screaming, thought it was a funny audio bit that worked perfectly with the scene but you're right, it does peak & should be toned down. i'll brush up on some audio mixing techniques for the final film to prevent any eardrums rupturing. thanks for the constructive criticism :)

[COMEDY]

I've seen it many time already, and it seems like you've added some new scenes. Or I'm getting crazy. Either way, an immersive piece of art.

[BAD MASCOT]

It's very good, a nice mix of the mania, of the real and a touch of today's young's adventures (yet not oversauced with wokeness and other distracting parts).

Can't wait to see how it goes.

[SLUDGE BROTHERS: PILOT]

A testament that the more plot you put into something goopy, the more goopy it becomes.
Oddly satisfying awfulness. I wouldn't say it's a streaming service material, but definitely a very nice pick for the NG.

[PG PORN ROADSIDE ASS -ISTANCE PARODY]

I'm kind of in awe how you manage to add all those special trinkets like filters, special effects of car repair, the scenography. Very nice LoL crossover remake.

Might have been a little better with more work on the lipsyncs in some parts (noticed auto animation) in parts like 1:10. I guess the rule of thumb is (and that's only me "feeling it"):
- if there is only static text (like in cheaper novel games), keep their mouths closed, or open when their line appears (but not animated)
- if there is text that appears dynamically (good JRPG games, nice novell games like Phoenix Wright), keep their mouths shut or move on auto when they "speak it", faces with emotions are a plus
- if they have audio (+text) speaking (movie like animations in every media), keep their mouths closed or open it but if are opening them try not to make it look like they are flapping gums when they stop talking :P

Al in all very solid, and the joke is everlasting, so thank you for making us recall it :)

P.S.
I'm a fan.

teemovsall responds:

thank you for your appreciation!!

[Professor Stroke]

Funny idea for a movie, weak audio performance (audio overly intensive, then silent so much you can't hear nothing, then loud again)

Nice animation thought.

Broly responds:

The audio was almost way worse

[PUNKDANCEN]

Ok for an animation test.
IMO the "newspaper background" along with the changing star background and 3 dancing characters make it harder to focus and appreciate the animation.

Music kinda out of sync with the dancing, plus if you wanted to go full Carameldansen the character would have to try and keep looking forward, hips creating the beat, and not just swaying to the beat but also giving that little OOMPH at the end of a sway so much that for instance you would see a skirt flap fly a bit up (you could probably recreate effect with a belt or some other hip accessory if you don't want to use skirt)
