Griffonmender's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super Smash Exercise Bros.]

Entertaining, but sound design could use some work- it gets extremely loud really quickly.

ShonieBoy responds:

Noted! I'll work on that for future projects. Oof, the PK fire part was especially terrible. Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching!

[SnapCube Brickfilm]

Not a bad start, but editing could use some work.
There's a few spots in the beginning where Spidey isn't fully cut out.
Audio is a bit rough as well- maybe speak up a bit next time?
Some sound effects for the web slinging could help as well.

WandWStudios responds:

Okay thanks, I'll keep this in mind

[How Not To Watch TV!]

The concept isn't bad, but the execution could be better.
The set is empty, and I wouldn't know that the tv as a tv if it hadn't been mentioned in the description. Some of the shots show the room outside the set, which breaks immersion somewhat.

The actual animation is pretty smooth, and I quite like how the entity moves.
The set just needs a bit of dressing so it looks a bit more like a room and a bit less like a box.

Asskick247 responds:

I just don’t know if I have the materials, thx anyway I suppose

[Star preforms lightning jump]

Not bad.

It might be worth it to pay the $10 bucks for Flipaclip to get extra layers and get rid of the watermark.

You could also try using a video editing program to slap a white square on top of the watermark.
Out of the free and watermark free programs I've looked. through, clipchamp seems like the best bet: https://clipchamp.com/en/

Alternatively, there is an app called video eraser used in this tutorial that can be used to remove the watermark:https://www.reddit.com/r/YoutubeTutorials/comments/9v0zdq/how_to_remove_flipaclip_watermark/

These solutions will be more difficult to accomplish the more complicated the background becomes, but they should work as an effective bandage until the flipaclip upgrade or a different program has been purchased.

ZiyKiy responds:

Thanks for the tips I really appreciate it

[Grimkin Simple Animation]

Looks cool- I'd recommend just paying the ten bucks for Flipaclip, though.
You get rid of the watermark and gain the benefits of additional layers.

WorldDominatinCrea responds:

ok I put more layers for the next animation and thank you for the advice.

[Special Delivery - LEGO Stop Motion]

That escalated quickly.
I like the choice of the older style cat.

JOCoStudio1 responds:

It looks so disarmingly docile... Do not be deceived!

[Cloud's buddy Sephiroth]

Maybe he should have talked about a movie that didn't begin with a man losing the love of his life...

Doobus-Goobus responds:

Gave me a little grin

[TANKMAN VS BOYFRIEND {WEEK 7} GUNS ANIMATION]

An ok start, but could use some work.
There really should be more variety of movement- boyfriend seems to only raise his arm and that's it.
Tankman especially needs more poses and frames in general, as he moves like he's being warped by the transform effect rather than doing anything on his own.

Likewise, the characters have multiple small errors like lines in places they shouldn't be and Boyfriend being weirdly orange.

The part where you used the actual sprites did not do you any favors.
Not only did the zoom in on Tankman cause it to become extremely blurry, but it called attention to the above issues, as well as inconsistencies in the designs you made for the characters, especially Boyfriend.
I hadn't even noticed his bangs were the wrong shape until you threw up one of his actual sprites, at which point it became very noticeable.
Further, it's just kind of lazy looking- especially when the same characters could have been drawn standing still in one shot fairly easily.

My advice would be to take a closer look at the Tankman and Boyfriend assets, especially the sprite sheets.

Not only would these be a good reference to keep them looking on model, but looking at the individual frames on these sheets could help give you a better idea of how to pose and animate these -and other- characters in a more interesting way.

Also, if you need to zoom in on an image, either use one with a very high dpi, start out with a much larger image than you need, or use a vector.
Low quality raster images do not like being zoomed in on. ^ ^;

CupAnimations responds:

im sorry im just new...

[Friday Night Funkin: The Anime!! Week 1]

The intro section was very rough and the images in it were extremely compressed.
It didn't really add to the video.

The animation was ok in parts, but the way a character would somehow lose the colors they just had in that very same shot was strange, and a bit distracting.
It also appears unfinished in some parts.

Voice acting was ok.

The alternative girlfriend design was actually pretty cute.
I quite like it.

Overall, it's pretty rough, but it has some potential.

ZykicoBeast responds:

I'll try to improve upon this in my future animations.
