doido69's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[THE.LIFT.]

Strange.

Well uh.... I get the point, but as the guy before me said, its a weak point.
The animation is indeed unique, I like it. Keep up the good work on that, but try to think of something better for the script.

I'll probably forget about your animation tomorrow.

Here, let me use an exemple. Look at the great stuff that newgrounds has. Things that you will remember of:

The Composer
Breckenwood Series - Specially Waterlollies
Dare - Original and Remake
And other great movies...

What do they have in common? A point. A beautiful, strong, simple and easy to understand point. Something that makes you watch it over and over and never get bored.

Try something like that, mix up with your new artwork (work a little more on that) add some minutes to the animation.

With that you will defnatly get lots and lots of good reviews.

But cheers, nice music and nice drawing. And cheers again for the front page.

This was a fair review.
Thanks for commenting on the uniqueness of the animation. I have actually seen all of those flashes, they're amazing. I'm new here but spent a couple of months browsing around first before uploading anything. I'm obviously nowhere near as good as those animators, but i will keep practising and practising because i want to get better. My plotlines have got to be bolder and more simplified is the general consensus from most reviewers, I think. Thanks very much for the advice, and I hadn't even realised i'd been front paged until i saw this comment. Timings are all weird because I live in London...

[2009 Show Reel]

Well, nice portfolio.

I would defnatly hire you.

Bit-Master responds:

WOOOOO!!!!!!!

[Animals]

Interesting, but controversial.

First of all sorry for my english, I'm from abroad.

Second of all - It is the kind of animation I've been looking for. Something with a meaning, something that may trust you some kind of purpose, but only if you enough brains to understand it.

At first I tought it was some kind of abstract, meaningless and another full of bullshit noir animation that fills up NG to its tops.

But by the third time I watched it, I was finally able to understand the pain of the character.

Your vision of the purgatory is deturpated, but yet creative. I've never seen that before.

I am a strong atheist myself, but I respect the christian ways, and more than that, I like it - when it is used for the right pourposes, wich means peace, mind and salvation.

But let's supose that I belive on all that crap:
Ok, so the guy loses his wife and jump of a bridge. Wich means SUICIDE, wich means "You automatically go to hell", according to the book theres no salvation or forgiveness for suiciders.

How do you explain that?

[Sketchy Friends Dance]

Clever.

I do really apreciate when people sync sound and image into aa flash animation.

But dude, the music is kind of anoying. I'm sorry.

Try to use this kind of Music-Animation sync inside a movie with a storyline. Be creative and you WILL have tons of NG awards. And of course my 10.

nah, I don't wanna

[Valhalla Knights 2]

Catching Story

Hey, boost that sound quality man. Just that.

[Moonlight]

Classic anime story.

I don't get it. Why do it if it is just another anime? I'm sorry, but for me its "just another".

[Red Riding Hood]

Unique

The SAW Soundtrack really suits the movie.

[DARE]

I dare you to move.

Newgrounds is full of shit, but now and then someone with true skills comes up.

The story is great, but yet not original. If you could feel inspired by tha story and make one yourself, I'll defnatly give you a 10/10.

Dude, keep walking. I dare you to move.

[nomnomnomnomnomnomnom]

Edd's right.

Nothing OUTSTANDING. It was like a waste of good animation you know?

[Asylum 3]

It was cool, yeah.

Animations are cool, lot of work on that, i guess.

But still...
Let me put it that way:

Your rating:

Music: 8 (Extremelly heavy, perfect for the situation)

Animation: 4 (It was cool, long, but it is still stickman... you lose expressiviness and realism on this kind of animation) (And they were too god damn tall)

Story: 2 (Sorry dude, it was terrible. Just doesn't make sense. I quitted when the guy is surrounded by the swat team and he kinda draws a eagle, or whatever, and, damn, reload it, and, shit, kill at least 4 of 'em before getting shot. I mean, WTH! ITS SWAT! IF THEY SURROUND YOU, THEY KILL YOU IF YOU EVEN TRY TO PICK YOUR NOSE. OUTSTANDING)

(8 + 4 + 2) / 3 = less than 4.5
