MrShoeShine7's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Meru Meme Dance]

You said everything drawn by you, i think you meant done. I feel like you tried making the dance a bit too realistic as she doesn't glide around like most characters do for this trend, and she started a bit late. Nice job but you can make it a bit longer and fix the timing on your next work.

Skeith990 responds:

Thank you for the critique.

Honestly my reference were 2d animation I found since I didn't know the names of the dance sequences.

First bit, I have drawn the asset, but if you can elaberate since I fail to understand the difference.

I'll try to be more careful with the timing.

[Kulinkitaka]

This is very cute, and i appreciate the squib voice mixing.

[Meet the Buttsteak]

Felt like a SFM short, but was nicely 2D animated, well done.

[Playable Memories]

This is the type of video you must watch twice. You do such a great job at making your characters and shots, (which essentially make the world you are portraying) very human.

There are so many details I loved! When you show a shot being captured on video you took a lot of real life situations into account when making these scenes. Some of my favorites were the one at 00:53 where the car headlights can be seen in the distance emerging onto the road, or 02:10 the car windshield wipers sliding across the windshield making streaks, and 02:24 where the bird flies off the roof but the camera follows it a bit before losing track just as a real person would attempt to do. I can go on but I think you understand this the most as you made the movie.

You are an excellent creator making this believable world in a short amount of time, I know backgrounds aren't always easy. I do think the walk cycle at 00:27 is floaty so just watch out for that. I enjoyed seeing the film on the t.v. at the end, there is just so much packed into here. Excellent work.

SAMI-OURS responds:

My gosh! I didn't know you paid so much attention to all the elements of the video. right! In addition to the elements you mentioned, the implementation of various other details was also for the naturalness of the video. Thanks for recognizing these aspects. And, You also talked about the cons! It is difficult for any scene to walk with the whole body out, and you noticed the unnaturalness of that scene. I thought wouldn't notice it because it was so short. But I just caught by your detailed appreciation! Still, I'm just glad Thanks for savoring my video.

[Necos relaxation time]

I'm a bit confused, what exactly did you do? You said thanks to Neco Puppeteers for the animation, you used Pepsi man ads in the tv, and you didn't make the lo-fi minecraft beats, so you pretty much edited it together? I think its fine to use sprites from games if you are making something original with them. This doesn't seem original or new. I hope you make something worth watching in the future!

darkbolt99 responds:

hellothis animation is an experimental video
and I made it by myself taking concepts from NecoPuppeteers and Melty Blood
I will try to improve in the future.

i like your style but the pacing needs some work! When she was calming down maybe she could breathe heavily, and walking past the mirrors could be slower too. Very strange music choice... it didn't seem fitting at all. The sound design, colors and backgrounds were really well done though. nice job, i hope you keep improving.

[Opossum Mama]

its cute but short, i think the possum animations a little slow, and there is no audio!

[DRTC #001 DUBBED]

i love the intro, but since its a comic dub its a bit underwhelming. the characters are fun and it was short and sweet.

usernameMike responds:

Thanks for the input! I'm trying out some new stuff, so I started with something simple. Glad you enjoyed it regardless!

[Mari and Jouzo #3: The Three Way Chase pt 1]

I am not a fan of comic dubs, so this content might not be for me.
However I cannot overlook the errors in this segment alone. The quality varies frequently; sometimes its okay and others its way too compressed or zoomed in but there wasn't a single moment it looks "good." I would recommend you tell the artist to draw in 4K because I think that would solve most of the issues. Any time there was animation or lip sync you can see the difference in quality, and the spongy lazily done animation. The voice acting and sound effects are carrying your end product.
I understand there are a good group of people working on this but it is not looking good. I hope it gets better.

[Tiefling Thoughts]

I really love the style of it, its just really short. since theres no audio id recommend making this a gif instead so it ends up in the art portal!

Keep practicing its a nice loop, the black and white look great with that overlaying gradient thing going on.
