CrabbWalker's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Merry Melony: Book 1 (pg]

Your triptych motion comics looks very promising...invokes such emotion, even without music. The color palette is great...and actually, you used really good fluid animation in the first panel. Composition is dope... one minor critique is the speed. Generally (I think) 3-4 seconds is what you need for an audience to read words, so maybe one panel every 5 seconds? Just a thought. Won't matter if you are doing voiceovers. I'm favoriting you and hope more people see this underrated teaser. Can't wait for the release!

I MADE IT!!!! GOOD LORD!!!! HOW BIG WAS THIS FILE!?!?! I'M NOT WATCHING THIS EVER AGAIN!!!!

[Paragon]

The animation is wonderful, sound effects are nicely placed and utilized in every cutscene and shot, story is good, and the voices are CRISP, something that a lot of people on here don't pay close attention to...unfortunately the voice actors and the characters lack expression and gestural movement. I felt that this was almost there....study up on theatrics and your next submission will be gold. Aside from that, nice use of blurry textured 3D backgrounds, it adds to the atmosphere of these 3D cel-shaded characters. 3.5/5

[Neoplasia - Ep 1]

It's very, very interesting...it has a sort of Old School/ retro nostalgia feel to it...I think the music brought the best out in this animation, for some reason it had a Jet Set Radio/ Samurai Champloo tone to it. Next time, maybe try to bring more of that post-apocalyptic urban environment into your animation, let us feel that, and keep similar tracks on there. Work on pacing and storyboarding. I see potential. The characters are also unique and i think it's worth developing a series out of.

Noisy responds:

Yeah, thank you a lot.
I'm interesting of making a good thing with this but I'm not very good though.

Thanks again : )

You have talent man. Although the anatomy was a bit sloppy and some awkward cutscenes here and there, I felt that a lot of effort went into the latter part of it. Overall it was a solid thesis film, you did good. I have mine submitted somewhere on here, and it pretty much was struggling with some music sync/ sound sync irregularities and issues just like this film had. My suggestion would be to take the time to hone in those skills, starting with a tight storyboard and script already finished before starting the animatic (let alone the animation). It's doing wonders for me. Take your time. Also, you described in your comments section about polishing your story a little more and tweaking effects. Don't. I would suggest moving onto a new animation, or better yet a brand new story– trust me, I've tried polishing my old work and it ended up being a waste of time. This is a lengthy review, but the reason I'm saying this is because you have a lot of potential dude. Continue to make new art (er animation) and keep posting updates here, you've gained my curiosity and thus my subscription. Keep animating!!!

Kofdizz responds:

Thanks for the feedback and for watching! What's the name of your thesis? I'd love to see it!

[In the Mountains]

lol reminds me of Mr. Literal off Newgrounds for some reason.

[Cucumber Test]

This is great. Nice quality, good voiceover. Hard to critique something so short. Maybe don't forget blinking? Can't wait for the rest.

[the YuYu]

Still amazing after all these years.
