Pingu's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[THE RAMPAGE Collab [My Part]]

You have some pretty good detail in here for being stick figures fighting, it makes for a good demonstration of your animation ability. There was some good parts of perspective and 3D. Right around 0:16 (backflip) it seemed like there could have been a few extra keyframes, as it seemed to be a little jumpy for the characters positioning. Maybe that was intentional.

AliHaleem responds:

Thanks.. Yeah I got some mistakes with the position I'll Work hard on next projects and correct 😁❤️

["The Hand" Short Stop Motion Animation]

Fairly short, so there isn't much to talk about but I do understand the effort that goes in to it. The movement was smooth, and appropriately weird. There is a cast shadow right near the start and a few times throughout, so if I was to offer a suggestion it would be to work on avoiding those. The one towards the start was right over the hand and caused a small distraction of my attention.

Cheers!

SHOSHBIA responds:

Thank you so much! Yeah I already filtered out some frames that contained shadows and lighting change ,but I'm still learning and from this I learned to avoid any of that while shooting instead of editing ❤️

[Anime girl loop. Creo - Memory]

Pretty simple loop, but it works as advertised with no obvious restart point. Don't forget you can list Creo in the music credits so people can find his works as well: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/664892

[Percolate]

This was really nice and calming. I like the style of the art, which had enough shading to keep it from being too flat. The music selection was spot on for this animation as well.

Some things I liked about it: the energy of the tree roots, the effect of the water drop hitting the leaves, and the little hats the animals escaping the flood had. Normally I'd suggest a bit of colour at the end as the new tree grows in to new life, but I think I like the wash into a white canvas better.

Great work!

[Autopilot]

Finally someone gets the true horror of self-driving cars! Good job on the animation, I can't find anything to dock points for.

[Quidditch World Cup]

This was really well done. I like the music selection, you incorporated it really well with the animation to build suspense. The backgrounds were really nicely don, as was the main animation. The ending ending was a little unfulfilling to me, but I know that type of ending cut is an intentional choice :) Good work!

AlexEmery responds:

Glad you liked it!

[The Future of Dating]

This felt a little like a segments for the Futurama episode about not dating robots. It was a fun segment, well animated. I liked the voice work as well.

I'm a little concerned about the backgrounds. More specifically, I'm concerned that DIGIMIN has been in the cage for too long. If you don't let your background artists out for fifteen minutes of yard time a day, they tend to complain more. :)

BrandyBuizel responds:

Oh please, what a silly gag. I exclusively use "cage-free" artists in my animations; it's more like a pen anyway, no roof.

[Meteor Shower]

Fun short.You did ask for constructive feedback, so I wanted to add my two cents. I think any of the issues I have with this could be attributed to the speed of creation. I understand the tight deadlines you're on for the summer Animation Jams, so I can't really fault you for much.

There's an interesting mix between the plain and detailed backgrounds. You have the grass as both plain night-green and detailed to show every blade of grass (when she looks in the hole). I might suggest that if you're going back and forth between "plain" and detailed, you add the extra details to other elements in the appropriate part. For example, a few extra details on her face or hair when she's looking into the hole. I think that would add a bit to the consistency.

Other than that, no real issues. I enjoyed the dialogue and voice acting.

Good work, I look forward to future submissions!

Temariix responds:

That's a great point. As I was going I decided to start making the more detailed backgrounds but ran out of time to upgrade the ones I had. Thank you very much for the review!
