CoolCatDaddio's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Batman Vs Superman]

when you animate the mouth, only move the bottom part of the mouth ( AKA the jaw)
the top part stays stationary when people talk, mostly at least

Stephenrat responds:

I appreciate the advice. This is one of my older animations . I'm working on new stuff and a new method

[FRUIT]

The frame rate is making it hard to tell whats happening

[Blobpocalypse]

I cant take it seriously the way you arrange things or how you shoot the scenes
like the way the blue blob hides behind the tree and the zombies pretend they didnt notice
shit like that is silly and the camera panning needs work too

LoganZinn responds:

This is my first 3d animation I'm working on the next one and it should be better

[Pj's Voice Demo]

Get a pop filter or something, I hear your breath effecting the mic
your acting is bad, none of the characters sold me with their voice.
the music is too loud when the focus should be the voice acting
just a make an audio submission for voice acting demo's, this was just.. It honestly didnt really add anything to the voice demo.
I find badly done "lol so randum XD" humor unfunny and this was just cringy

Ric-Olzow responds:

- Pop filter issue noted
- I'm not the voice actor; however, If the lip syncing was bad I'll be working to improve on that in future projects
- I should've gotten the original file from the guy who VA'd, point taken
- I suppose this could be considered a practical joke since the VA had no idea, but I'll bear in mind when considering posting content
- As comedy is subjective it's hard to promise 'no more cringe', so uh...'I'll work on that(?)'

As the infamous Stefan Karl once said, "Ugh, Let's Try Something Else."

[EVE - 2nd iClone 6 Animation Test Short]

the camera panning is awful, at 0:44 is a good example, the way it goes in one direction and then sways to show the other female next to the guy

also a pet peeve of mine in movies is when the villains have the hero cornered and they dont shoot, it breaks my suspension of disbelief

rjlahusen responds:

Actually, totally agree on all counts. The odd camera movements were to cover some of the odder birs of animation.. Even making her walk ariind a corner was a pain in the butt..haha...so i would call those issues a learning moment and move on. I painfully delayed the action to experiment with the interaction..and i was winging it...but i hate that as well...i appreciate your honest eval and wiil look to leave the clichés at door with my next outing ..also will keep it shorter, focused and try not to break suspension

[Skirts and Pants: Skydiving]

I like it
my only complaint is that the colors are painfully oversaturated IMO

[Rough Test - Aaron Taking Out Sword]

careful dude, there's a rule on test animations

"Your submission must not be a pointless "demo" or "preview" without any redeeming qualities."

shaino123 responds:

Oh, don't worry, it's not pointless. It's developing character for a legitimate character that I will feature in future animations. Thank you for the clarification, though!

[Experience Tranquility Animated]

why is the quality so garbage? is it my internet?
also this is just a boring loop, the only animation here is just a couple frames of zen just floating up and down, booooo

albinoscreeching responds:

I know. I tried to compressing it like crazy and it is still too big or it does not read well. I can't figure out why. It reads better on mobile. Still trying to fix the issue.I suck with After Effects.

[Reaper's Blossom]

I like the animation quality, its good
but what the point, the punchline? was is it just reaper dancing to raining men?
Im not feeling the music choice to be honest, didnt really lend itself to the animation

I just think the plot and joke didnt amount to anything compared to the animations
know what im sayin? I dont either, wish I could express it better

[Sam Run Concept (Sam & Nelson)]

this would probably fall under "meaningless" dude
