HeartOfTheStorm's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sachie, cat attack!]

The continuity ot this one really bugs me. First she cuts off her hair for no reason, ties up a "hater" (lol h8rs r such le intranet troles & shud be killedd by cats amirite??!XDD) then sends multiple cats at the ninja, but then there is actually only one big cat, which stomps the ninja into cats, and suddenly cats are falling around the girl even though she is nowhere near where the ninja was.

It's a good attempt at trying to make her seem like an interesting person, but in reality her videos are just vlogs about makeup and anime. Does she even have any "haters"?

[Don't F With Luigi]

Art was pretty good, colours were bold.
Go open this anim in flash right now, click on any classic tween, look at the properties bar, find the Easing slider. Use it for everything. Easing is one of the most basic animation concepts.
Also if you use Newgrounds' Swivel for swf converting you won't have any lag at all, check it out here http://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/creator-resources/flash-resources/swivel

Shoocharu responds:

Thanks, but I already knew about easing, it's just, most of the time I use it, it tends to f up alot, but I guess I just have to learn how to use it.
And I'll check out that Swivel thing, looks neat.

[Luigi Death Stare]

The good: half decent lighting, light effect when gun is fired, mist on road, change of setting from original video

The bad: back wheels not moving (That's more of NG's fault for having a perpetually broken reupload system), barely any content, slow as crap, luigi lighting pop-in at 0:02, no camera easing, bad camera angle at end, ultra low effort, unconvincing physics, and you didn't modify the premade models at all.

I'm rating this to give you a few ideas on how to improve. And if you just threw this vid together for kicks then don't worry about this review.

[Night Mare]

I love how hard you worked on this to keep it so clearly neutral on the "issue" of bronies, in fact it seems like the whole animation/song was solely to lead up to the final two lines of the song. Keep your abnormal tastes to the internet kidz.

[How To Make Money Fast]

Well that was some really nice audio, the simple designs made everything easy to understand, the pacing was good. It didn't teach me anything or blow my mind, and it was short, so that's why I'll give it 4 stars.

[Good Citizen]

So here's a question, do you subscribe to every conspiracy theory that has ever been given attention? Like fluoride being a mind-control agent? What the heck? I wouldn't have been surprised if you had gone as far to say that the holocaust never happened, and that aliens built the pyramids.

KiWiArts responds:

First, you shouldn‘t take a cynical short too literal. You should read between the lines and take the time to think about it before forming an opinion.
Second, the conspiracy theories you mentioned are a far jump from the real contemporary issues in the short. You should stop drinking the Kool-Aid which the mainstream media gives you. Otherwise you will still believe that there was nothing questionable about the official 9/11 report and that theFukushima incident has no effect on your life.
Speaking of the holocaust, it’s a proven fact that the Nazis used Fluoride to poison the people in the concentration camps. Furthermore it’s a fact that Fluoride is a waste by-product of the fertilizer and aluminum industry and it's also a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act 1972 .

I know it’s always hard to realize and admit that you have been played by someone else for so long. But it’s still not a reason to kill the messenger because it.
But don’t take my word for it rather start informing yourself properly.

[INCIDENT:115C]

WOW one of my favourites! So much flair

Cethic responds:

All of da flair.

[SUNSET (Re-upload)]

Very cool, the gravity falls theme fit well. Very efficient animation style, but it still looks like it took forever.

[The Monster]

The only grammar thing I caught was, "I quetly sneaked away" should be "I quietly snuck away". The art is a great improvement, but I'd like some screens to be part text and part drawing (in a dynamic way). The music was really well chosen but the transitions were often too blatant, I prefer fading on everything when it's not a surprise moment. When it is a surprise moment there should be some other noise to end the music like a thunder clap or something. Try adding ambient noises in the future, like crowds rioting, a grandma laugh, a sound of the girl's power being released. Thanks for sharing and good job!

exninja123 responds:

Thank you!
And for the thoughtful review! :D

[[S] Cascade.]

Even the preloader blew my mind

One of the greatest things I've ever seen. It feels very connected, symbolic, and deep. Although I couldn't understand it in the slightest, I could pick up that evertything had opposites, or dualities. I'll watch it a couple times and check out the comics! It's probably one of those confusing mindblowers. We'll see.
