thepixelizer's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rabies Fox]

Ha! The redneck with a harpoon really got me cracking up, hilarious stuff as always.

[MrBeast Meets Kang The Conqueror]

That was absolutely hilarious!
The animation was kind of awkward and stiff though.

But the concept and voice acting is what made this fun to watch.

CompunctionTime responds:

Muahaha! Great to receive feedback! Yeah, ill attempt to smooth out the animations at least until I get a better suit or way to mocap. I am glad people are liking this one, have a good day!

[A Countryballs Christmas]

It was charming, It was hard tell who was talking since all of them had no mouths.

One way that the ClockCrew gets around that is to make a little wiggling arrow appear over their speakers head for emphasis.

Another way is to add a text box with the name of the character and a portrait in the foreground.

I love the zooming camera effect and different camera angles, it kept it from being too static, and made it more cinematic.

I wouldn’t suggest using Windows movie maker for animations though. It’s not really made for that, believe me I’ve tried too.

There are a handful of free animation softwares out there like Opentoonz, Blender, Wick Editor, and Flipaclip. They all have plenty of tutorials on Youtube to learn them all.

I’d also use more pastels or less saturated colors for the backgrounds as well, looking at a bright neon yellow screen can be hard on the eyes.

I can see you put a lot of effort into this due to the length, that alone is pretty special on here. It’s a pass in my book, good job!

StarSquareGuy responds:

Thank you.
You're supposed to give it a higher score tho. (or a better vote)
Also, Germany said that he brought his younger sister, Switzerland.
Also, somehow, I know who's talking, but I'm not telling you.
If you don't know what the Countryballs got for Christmas, here is it:
Poland: a CountryPhone (parody of the iPhone)
Spain: Spanish cards
Chile: a Nintendo/Countrytendo Switch
French: some fancy wine
Ukraine: Countrivea (parody of N I V E A)
I kinda like using FlipaClip better, since I can actually make animations with it.
Edit: YAY! MY VIDEO IS STILL ON AFTER YESTERDAY!

[Ron McDee & the Xmas Tree]

The voice acting in this keeps me replaying this. It’s hilarious.

Jibberuski responds:

Thank you, it's me!

[Quick Sfm: Barry meets Kim]

It’s too static, it needs more animation, usually people fidget or look around when stationary.
Imagine how hard it is to completely not move a single muscle in your body for a long time.

That’s why video game characters have a stance it makes them look less like an inanimate object.

I also know there’s no voice acting but even a little mouth movement is better than none even if it’s just muppet like flapping.

It would also be good practice to work up toward lip syncing in the future.

It may sound daunting but lip syncing is way easier than you think in fact it’s easier than regular body movement.

There are also hoards of bored voice actors on this site that would work for free as well, all you need to do is post on the forums or in the help wanted section.

Inku-Inku responds:

But that's time consuming, and idk about lyp-synching, becuase it has to be on time. Also, I am trying to add more animations to the body. The only way to actuslly lip synch them is to extract phonemes, but they probably don't work.

[Stitch cat and the bathtub]

Had no story, the dialogue wasn’t funny, the
animation was super stiff, there was no background.

And judging by the voice acting it sounds like you’re too young to even have an account here.

Advice would be to learn at least the heroes journey, or fundamentals of story telling. Like character goals, conflict, internal conflict, arcs, climax, antagonists etc.

Learn the fundamentals of animation. Like constructing, storyboards, animatics, etc.

Good animation is not letting the character stay static. Imagine how hard it would be not move a muscle for a minute.

Learn three point perspective, two point perspective, and one point perspective for the backgrounds.

For comedy practice it in real life with other people, if you have doubts about a joke, write it down forget about it and return the next day to see if you laugh, if you don’t toss it and make a new one.

And for the love of sanity stay off of Newgrounds if you’re under age.
Even adults shouldn’t see the atrocities on this site.

napkidiscool responds:

thanks for the feedback i will learn some animation an come back later

[A Stroll through Living Island! (VIDEO VER WITH MUSIC)]

His legs are swapping sides. Each foot has to complete an oval shaped path. Split it up into four key frames.

1.Contact
when both feet are on the ground and are farthest away

2.passing
when one foot is in the air and and another is on the ground and their closest to each other.

3.Contact again but the the left and right foot are mirrored in position.

4.passing again but the foot position are swapped.

STTechin responds:

Thanks for the Feedback , Animation is far from my strong suit (especially leg movement) so I'm still trying to get the hang of it!

[DEBT]

What’s the name of the city you live in, and what’s it known for?

[Fack-somniac]

The joke wasn't very surprising and has been done many of times before.
The pacing also seemed to lag on a lot too.

Facko-Newgrounds responds:

There is no joke, the plot is just, well, he can't sleep, that's it.
Just because it was done before doesn't automatically make it bad.

[Griffin's shaving cream commercial (BANNED)]

This is pretty hilarious!
