Pingu's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Riven on instagram]

Interesting concept for a stick fight. I liked the fourth wall break with the like button.

i made it for my instagram and the thought was, nobody will like it... what if i can like it myself xD

Well, that went differently than expected. The output file seems to have some odd shake to it, I don't know if that was a rendering thing or something on my end. Good work though!

Thank you I'm still new to this so I was playing around with the setting.

Hi! Not bad, I'm not seeing any others on your profile so I'll assume this is your first stop motion. All the fundamentals are here, and are good enough to be passable. A few extra movement frames would add a little more smoothness to the animation. The sound quality was good as well, no audible pops or distortion.

I will say to be cautious when filming around props, because movement of things which aren't supposed to be the focus draws the eye away from the subject. Humans are great at detecting peripheral movement, so when you put the blue clay on the yankee candle to hide the label, you also slightly moved the candle itself. I went back to see where I'd seen other movement. The curtains as well, which I don't know was due to an open window or how you moved around to set everything up. Just something to keep in mind as you keep at it.

Yea I will improve my clay mation (this was not my first clay annimation, its just my first annimation that was posted to newgrounds) and im making more right now :)

[Garry Kong]

Not bad! I wouldn't mind there being a few more sounds in the animation. Maybe some running/footsteps, climbing the ladder, obtaining the hammer. Something to fill the awkward silences when there are still actions taking place.

[Yellow & Brown V.S Red & Green]

The sound is fine, but this feels like it was recorded off of a screen. The fuzzy glow distorts any existing lines in the animation which makes it hard to watch.

[Pisshead]

Good stuff. You must live in a weird place.

[Why I'm not a good Mercy]

Nice job!

Now I want Reaper to sound like a squeaky toy when he wraiths around. Blizzard, make it happen.

[FALLOUT (stopmotion)]

Great work dude! The movement is incredibly smooth, and the pans worked really well. Your character modelling is incredible, there was so much detail in things like the power suit. I think the only place I docked points in my mind was the seam between ground objects and the sky backgrounds, where you could see the line. I don't know if in say the grass scene it could be tucked below to have a softer transition from ground to sky.

[Crowded]

Great balance of 3D, perspective, and “classic” animation. The music was well suited to the short. I loved the “incredible machine” solution the crab thought up to seek some space. Good work!
