MrShoeShine7's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[NECRO-NANCY 64: Spooky House trailer]

I'm so excited! We finally get to see more renwick, idk how to spell his name. The first person bits look so cool, awesome job!

[Why not just let the computer animate for me?]

This video screams "I don't really care about this big controversial art topic, but I'm going to poke fun at it." despite your claim to 'decide if its good or not,' before I realized this video was a huge gigantic joke.

Your art style and backgrounds are really appealing and they are nice to look at. Other than that I was not a fan of relatively anything else in this video, and I'll explain why. The storytime genre is filled to capacity with these cheap and lazy knock off odd1sout and jaiden animation clones that try to be the funny awkward art kid others can relate to. So what makes your series stand out?

The animation is lacking in every sense of the word, which surprises me that you aren't making these videos frequently. The characters motions are choppy and spongy which is another easily overused technique a lot of animators in the genre use. Using the excuse "Yes I got lazy on this part don't judge me I've been working on this for months" both didn't make sense and wasn't necessary. If the note wasn't in the corner I would've assumed nothing was different and it was a stylistic choice since it's just as choppy and didn't stand out much at all. The character design is simple and the design looks like it has taken inspiration from henry stickman or adventure time. As you might be able to tell from my icon I have characters with 3 spikes of hair as well, it's fun and easy to draw. But the bandages and shell face mask don't intrigue me they just seem overly stereo-typically edgy and does not match the characters personality or voice at all. The voice of your character is not bad, it's just a guy talking and the lack of tone in your voice makes even you seem disinterested or bored of the content I am watching from you. The other characters you voice also have this annoying voice filter that is ugly and difficult to listen to, like an echo from a application that wasn't supposed to be in the recording. The ai computer was better but the poor writing and lack of entertaining puns made it unbearable. As comedy is subjective I'll say that nothing stuck out as original and it felt like the two major jokes in the video fell flat right after delivery.

If you would like to continue making these talk-time-like videos I hope they get better. I understand that its a hobby and its meant to be fun, so if you enjoy it that's whats important.

[Cherries short]

Great short, I love the joke and the repeated sound effect was funny, great stylistic choice and visuals!

[4koma Girls- It's hip to be well-rounded]

Some of the poses the characters were in are a little inconsistent. Especially at the start. The designs and character writing are great. I like the pause effect of the panels when they are done animating, but the colors on the characters disappearing is distracting, like the character on the right in the first panel, since her pupils were black maybe they should stay black? I also noticed you included the characters names in the description, but as a new viewer I don't know who is who.

The voices were good, but the line delivery needs to be convincing, the mic quality also didn't help as there was background noise in the recordings. The glasses character has a fitting voice but the second sounds like a boy, and I wasn't sure if that was on purpose. Some backgrounds might also contribute well to the comic instead of the blank white void! I hope you improve.

Thanks man.

[You can't commision me]

the animatic is okay. the laugh cutoff was really strange, and the blue is hard to see. poses and expressions need to be easier to read in the boarding stage. I couldn't tell if the hands were meant to be peace signs or "okay" hands. keep working hard!

dew60 responds:

Yeah I think I might fix a little the next time I revisit

[DE_dust2: Hacker's Wrath Tribute]

Wow this is legendary. Not only did you bring back the old stickfigure counter strike series 10 years later, but you and the team put in so much hard work in the writing, animation, the style of it and the 3d shots were really cool. The music choices were perfect as well! I think my favorite part was both the beginning and the end, they were so well executed it was hard for me to choose. Amazing job guys!

[Cosmohedron]

This was super cool, I loved the transitions and the characters that were all shown at the end. Great work on this video dude, I loved it.

[Scared of Me - Kheil Animation]

The animation is so good, I love your style and the background is exceedingly simple but gorgeous nonetheless. I admire the short for what it is. Great work!

BMBrice responds:

Thanks a lot! I wanted to keep the BG simple since I'm trying out 3D paintovers

[Sublo Gets A Battle Royale]

This was a fun parody, I loved the voices. Great stuff dude

Tiltro responds:

Let the seas be calm and the wind be short, I would like to rest and wait till the chief comes and greets the morning and I don’t where I’m going with this. The voice actors are cool their stuff is very cool.

[Newgrounds Dreamcast Collab]

This needs to be called the re4 collab at this point, excited for the other pieces.
