HeartOfTheStorm's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[STRANGE CANDIES]

Good animation, half-decent jokes. Watch you audio levels, some voices are ear bleeding and others are hard to hear.

[Sublo & Tangy Mustard #9 - Bad Guys]

Great humor, also didn't realize these locations were real places in toronto until I googled Queen and Ossington, and it's picture perfect down to the streetcars

[If Yu-Gi-Oh! was made by EA]

Name of the credits song? -1 because you don't credit the content you take

[Define Intervention]

I'm giving it a lot of points for animation.... but what was the point of this whole thing? I'm not saying you needed a message, but considering the subject matter you needed a more well-structured story. A bunch of the parts were long and pointlessly drawn out too, especially the end where he's standing around in the church. Learn to cut stuff which adds nothing to the story (which was like 60% of your runtime)

Also really daring of you to (assumedly) portray Muhammad onscreen. A real edgy Je Suis Charlie moment right there

[Basic Income for the US]

Score based on only animation: it was good, though nothing stood out.
Welfare already exists, and it causes its own kind of damage, but that arises when people are just terrible people. Unfortunately that's the real world and it'll be amplified with more disposable income and less jobs.
I can't escape the feeling that you're only using cherry-picked stats. More people finish school when they get it for free, yes, but the resulting quality is awful and diplomas are given to anyone in those countries. When you build slums with no jobs then crime ALWAYS shoots up, not down. Also I find it hilarious that all your sources are the worst culprits of misinformation: vox, medium, huffpost. Have a little integrity.

[Pikachu on Acid 2]

Why are there so many characters who just talk a lot for no reason? If that was somehow funny then people would laugh when reading textbooks. The only other "jokes" in this are "lol drugs", which weren't funny when the first one came out.

[World Destroyer]

Cool, but this video, the description and even the indiegogo campaign don't tell me what the movie will be. The campaign just has a little lore dump. Length? Genres? Other characters? Timeline? Past successful projects?

If you don't even have basic info about your movie, how do you hope to raise any money?

[Running in the Sun]

kinda nice low effort animation but get this
C U C K
T R A S H
out my face

[Akko's trip: Little Witch Academia Parody]

Seen it a million times but in the pokemon and mario format.
"What if pokemon are dogs and Ash is high?!?!? so funneyXDXD"
"no wait... what if mario ate mushrooms and got high?!?!?! XDXD"
Minus the content, the animation was ok

alicemargiela responds:

Thanks man! I actually thought it was my best work, but i might improve my writing better. Also, to be totally honest, i don't think you should talk when you're Christmas comic wasn't original as well. But thanks anyway, yo

[Vampire Pixel in the Neon City]

Great art/animation but a ton of the action lacked clarity.
1. When viking grabbed the ghost thing it was hard to register because his fist was out of frame (keep important actions onscreen).
2. The ghost thrown through the window was impossible to understand. It becomes instantly far away (it NEEDS a smear if going super fast) and there's a building where it used to be so it looked like it turned into a building or something
3. The cut to viare running was also impossible to register that she was running up a building, it needed either a transition or a camera angle from her side. That one frame of ghost at the beginning of the cut made no sense too, there's no way to know which direction the ghost was moving

I actually prefer rushed pacing during action sequences but in this case it was over the line and I couldn't follow.
Also the personalities were pretty weak. Good characters have glaring personality strengths and weaknesses visible at all times. E.g. the tf2 scout is hasty, proud, mischievous, and annoying (to other characters, not the viewer).
