Galneda's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Teaser]

The first 13 seconds are a film reel countdown element that was dragged and dropped onto the timeline. The ending 10 seconds is a black screen. What's left is a title crawl, with a title that isn't reflected in the submission's name (This submission isn't called "Wednesday Fornication Teaser" it's just called "Teaser") and what we're left with of actual footage that all of this is building up to is six seconds.

Six seconds with an inexplicable cut on a character standing there not reacting to this other character that's wigging out for no perceivable reason.

That's not telling us anything. Typically, a Teaser is generating hype and spreading the word about a project that's still in development. As if to tell the audience, "Hey, here's a taste! If you want more, check this out or be here at this time" We got none of that. No links, no date, no relevant information as to what to expect in your project.

You gotta put in a little more work if you want folks to get onboard with whatever you're putting down. Saying nothing in the author's comments, and just tagging this as "Action" ain't enough.

Every animator has to start somewhere, so don't get discouraged in the process of practicing.

Have the courage to make stuff that's really basic. This is experience that'll help you animate something better in the future! So keep at it!

[courage the cowardly dog but i animate some of it]

I really dig the creative license you took on his design, and it's super cool of you to give us a tour of the process (that's really rare to see in animation tests on the flash portal)

Also that movement is SMOOTH as hell, in that windup before he starts flailing around. Really impressive work!

If you ever need a voice actor for something you got, I'd love to audition! Hit me up!

Dude, this is great! Nice wind-up, nice execution, the closeup on the face as they get up was really expressive and had a lot of fun details all-around.

I think what could've helped the impact seem a lot harder is a lot more exaggeration in the extremes of the poses- namely, the instant the feet make contact when they weren't supposed to between the full impact of the upper body. There's not enough time to make a lot of flailing motions, but the pose (or even the silhouette) could've been in such a way that it's a little more readable that things have gone awry.

Truly observable talent, even in a short test like this. I'm really looking forward to whatever you got cooked up that's more long-form, and if you ever need a voice actor, hit me up! I'd love to help.

RickStarArt responds:

[Animation test 01 15 oct 2023 : Freikorps vs Spartakists]

It's a pretty involved test. Definitely has a lot going on. Extreme closeups on the muzzles of firearm seems too flat- it's too much of a cop-out, because it saves you from drawing the anatomy holding the gun. These things will come with practice.

...Also, are you okay?

PTRSHADOW responds:

why the last question?

[Martiago - pilot (check description)]

The thumbnail is just some comic panel, seems unrelated to the animation. Even if it was, it's completely illegible.

The name of this submission tells us to check description. There's nothing there.

Nothing is happening, and the voices are really hard to hear. If the point of a pilot is to let people know what the show is going to be like, this seems like it would be a pretty boring show.

[Mecha Sonic test animation 2017]

Why does he slide backwards?

rounindx responds:

Hello. This is the final boss fight in Sonic & Knuckles for Sega Megadrive (Genesis) in the second phase of the boss fight he slides to Master Emerald direction, front ou backwards, depending on how you defeated him in the first phase of the boss fight.

[No Budget (Who Framed Roger Rabbit)]

I dunno why it made me laugh so hard, but it did.

If you ever need a VO, I'd love to audition. Lets collab!
