HeartOfTheStorm's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[ALWAYS A HOME]

Movements were stilted and stiff, especially the walking, so the biggest issue is the fundamentals. The other aspects of the film were pretty great.

Scarecrow and Stanky Buzzard is my favorite Youtube Kids cartoon.

Aaron-Long responds:

one small correction, it's actually Stanky Buzzzard with three Zs thank you very much

[Life After Covid-19]

funniest toon I've seen in a while. There are a lot of industries where I wouldn't blink if they disappeared.

["ReBirth: Broken Memory" Teaser/Proof of Concept]

Google GDC Sound Packs, there's like 60GB of free sfx for commercial use; that way you don't have to use 2005 DBZ sfx recorded in a washing machine. Also make the blue hair chick's voice louder.

Otherwise the anim is great, it just lacks substance. What purpose does telling this story for the 100th time fulfill? If your purpose is just entertainment, at least put a new spin on the story.

[Sonic Meets Amy Rouge]

Kinda funny. What's the name of the club song?

[Beyond the Fog: Episode 3 - The Blue Yonder]

Great art as usual. I think the last time I saw an animation with pacing this slow was 4 months ago when you released episode 2. Tighten up the endless dialogue and make sure there's something interesting moving onscreen. At least one of your shots is 10 seconds of only a guy's face, no animation. You'll notice that live-action movies with long shots all have visually stimulating movement, detailed face acting, and never such long monologues.

Everything after the cut to the sky ship is littered with unexplainable pauses. Omitting them will create a drastic improvement.

9Hammer responds:

Thanks for the insight! I suppose trimming things up a bit can help. I'll see what I can do about that going forward to make things more engaging.

[Rick and Morty New Season]

dang lol that bit about the animation guild. Did they actually have a hand in who wrote on the show, or did their meddling end after they forced a staff walk-out before even allowing the R&M execs to consider their deal.

Points only taken off for significant tracing, wish I could take points off for bad art but nope that's exactly how the show looks.

[Beyond the Fog: Episode 2 - Astray at Sea]

Suuuper slow with awkward pauses. This might be tolerable at 2x speed. The voice-acting is mostly good, but the dialogue is far too quiet.

[GhostFight-BOS-Part1]

4 cameras to choose from, random background colors, sometimes totally flipped, options to view frame by frame, I wonder why nobody has done this since.

[HACKYJACK]

Tbh are there any colors other than purple and cyan?
Great execution, and although the idea is meant to be overdone and cheesy, at the end of the day there's a lot of videos like this already.
