HeartOfTheStorm's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tone Deaf]

Some neat ideas, some decent humour, the models/atmosphere/voicework were great, but the 2D and 3D animations had some very visible errors/awkwardness.
Also the dubstep sounded like someone's first attempt at electronic music, they should have tried a few more songs to actually get the hang of it.
The audio design was overall very bad, anyone could tell you threw in a mishmash of low quality sound effects with no sense of unity. You don't need to pay money to buy/record sound effects, you just need to actually put care into working with what you can get.

[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.

[SUNSET (Re-upload)]

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