CoolCatDaddio's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Game Grumps Animated - 9 Ball Island]

The artstyle is pretty bad color wise, expression wise.
the famliy guy-esque eye shapes dont give alot of expression to the character, all the work is done by the eyebrows and eyelids and they dont get the job done alone. Try to do a better job at drawing eye shapes and change them up with different expressions.
Some figure practice or any drawing practice in general will help you out a bunch, your line work is awful looking at the head shapes, the stiffness on the hair , perspective on the the table , and other various shapes lack any refinement. So just draw alot and try to improve
As for the color choices: they dont work together. Your choices are sometimes too saturated. I think the over saturation is the biggest problem, but im not 100% on color theory stuff, regardless you should study some of Ego's color choices when it came to backgrounds and such.
The character animations are kinda stiff, try giving them some frames to slow down before they come to a complete stop
I think you deserve some praise on Dan's hand movements at 0:25. They were a nice touch
anyway, hope you improve

JimToons responds:

Thanks for being constructive. I wish I had the time to make everything better but at least I know where to improve. Thanks!

[The Milk Incident]

I think some figure practice or any practice for drawing will help you out a bunch to smoothen out the rough edges in your drawings
I also think you should study color and color theories, some of your color choices and shading look very bad. Observe other cartoons and try to figure out how they pick out their colors and stuff.
the sound design is fucking obnoxious, dont have your cartoon silent for the majoity of the time with really quiet sound effects and then add in an really loud metal song at the end. That shit is jarring especially since I had the sound all the way up since I thought you fucked up the audio levels and had this cartoon to be super quiet.
I cant really tell what happened at the end? did he drink the milk? you should have animated him opening the carton if that was the case, make it clear what happened to your audience.
Cut the intro to be shorter, the video is'nt long enough to justify it

HugoW responds:

thanks for the feedback

[Advice for Nintendo]

cut the intro shorter
I really dont feel like videos like this belong on newgrounds. This is more of a youtube kinda thing
anyway, you dont have the voice for these kinds of videos. You slur and fumble your words, there are a lot of redundancies
"why is this multi billion dollar gaming business fucking up badly or fucked up.. so badlyin the few years"
you cut yourself off at 2:46
you really shouldn't put up pictures of game consoles if your just going to have it up for a split second
you say fucking too much, Im not a prune but, its pretty tastless when you swear too much
You didnt say anything profound, all I got was from your video was "all you need is a good story" and didnt go into any more detail except aesthetic which is stupidly vague. Take off the nostalgia goggles and put more thought into these kinds of videos

sonic354 responds:

Thank you for the solid criticism, I really appreciate it.

Although I can't really change my voice. I've gotten a little better on my slurs and fumling in my words.
Its just you do have to have good story when you have a game, because if there is just gameplay to back it up it may not be interesting enough to the consumer.

[The future of Xbox!]

great shit man, digging the expressions and the effort into the animations

Ex-Poser responds:

Thanks, I like the new technique of key pointing each pose instead of traditionally drawing each individual frame. It takes a lot less time to animate and looks a lot smoother.
Glad someone likes it! Cheers BonemanCharles!

[Twisted Tales: Yellow]

surreal

MonicaIvan responds:

Thank you :)

[PREVIEW, Zargo - Pulled Chicken]

the only thing I didnt like was the sound effects used when he swung the cage

LinusCartoon responds:

Okay! i will think about that. Thank you =)

[Lightbulb]

So like I said on the other forum, dont make scenes shorter than a second, the beginning scene with the console is disorienting

give the sword some weight by not making it stop spontaneously, give it some frames to slowdown and stop smoothly

put in more effort on effects like the afterimage and the bulbs breaking

I know you said you got lazy and whatever, but put in the effort, you wont regret it when people compliment the effort you put out it

I do like however the bulb gasping when he begs for mercy, gave it a nice touch

pastalips responds:

Thank you for the advice!
