OneDayMorrow's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DSYPTOBH ep1]

It was a great effort all round, but I feel the animation (at least in some of the 2-sentence segments) could've been more polished and fluid. At times it just felt like stills with minimal movement, and when there was animation, it was stilted and the styles were inconsistent from one to the other. (sometimes within the same story, the same shot of the dude would look different from a higher or lower angle/different lighting/drawing style. (Also, why some guys with glasses, some with beards...it was jumpy, etc.)
Also the transitions/jumping around the frames in between the two sentence stories took me out of the narrative, why the black screens in between? You could've brought close to each story much more effectively that allowed it to flow better, the black screens are just jarring, as if there are frames missing. I did like the two sentence horror stories though, some of them really caught me off guard how well they were written. And the end bit with the voice actor was cute. "Help me...I'm trappe-" EXPLOSION. Great effort all around from all those who worked on this but I feel like the animation and editing/animating could've been much stronger in this.

SPANGLESNG responds:

Yeah i agree. I could have done better so I'll do it better in the next animation video. Thanks, i could animate more better quality, if i have more time than my job, looking forward getting better pc and drawing tablet. The guys you asked why with the glasses and beards they are real, no depiction. The black screen transition i thought it might be nice, so yeah, too bad you didn't like it :\. Yeah thanks, i did my effort i could and i wish i could have done better so i do i'll keep practicing for next. Thank you.

[Animated TV Commercial]

egh, maybe i'm just nitpicking but it's totally lost on me. A pipe wrench coming after a screaming water drop? I mean, I get what you were trying to do...but it seemed real forced and as an advertisement, I would just scratch my head and ponder why those characters. The animation was good though and of course, the water drop character design was adorable and just right. I just think for selling a plumbing company, it was overly simplistic.

jessejayjones responds:

Thank you for the taking the time to give me some feedback, I really appreciate it! I think that's fair to say, this was made more as an entertaining piece rather than an informative commercial, but there will be a voiceover narration on the final that will explain the company more. I will keep your suggestions in mind for my next spot for sure! Thank you! :)

[Blue Stick Slaughter]

ah, yes....the good ol MX days before Adobe came along and...did what it did. As for this movie, it wasn't bad. It would've been front page I'm sure 10 years ago...but nowadays, it's pretty much dead and buried under the madness rampage movies, which are themselves, on their way out as well. You should perhaps make some more, hopefully your skills have improved over the 10 years.

EggysGames responds:

Yeah I just wanted to get this one out there. I definitely may remake some of it later :)

[MENTIRAS]

not terrible...not worthwhile

i liked the idea of combining invader zim and the song. its definately interesting but it had no effect on me.
what the point? next time work on something like an actual music video, put a story in it and work on the animation/graphics. you could have something good in the end. and PUT ENGLISH SUBTITLES. i wholeheartedly welcome foreign artists and submissions, but since it's being broadcasted on an english-speaking website, it's expect to have english subtitles.

drawathing responds:

well actually the plot of the song is a guy cheating on everyone and denying it, so i make fun of zadr , zagr and all the sick couples of the fanfic by putting zim singing to most of the main characters, also because he always shout YOU LIE and stuff , is not a very ingenious thing but is the first thing that came to my mind
you are right with the subtitles thing, it would help a lot understanding what the hell is going on, but i guess it will be for the next time

[Entertainment]

interesting idea...

for a short. You had a lot of valid points there in your presentation. and the art was very well done.
---BUT that voice narration was excruciatingly bad, not only did it sound like a complete wannabe impersonation of heath ledger's joker, but i just didn't see how it contributed to the rest of the subject at hand. It also doesn't make a whole lot of sense that the voice actor's intention was NOT to go full blown heath ledger but only somewhat..it makes me wonder why did he bother to resemble him at all??.

It would have benefitted the short more if he had done a different voice.
the narration in the video was UNBELIEVABLY DISTRACTING and i kept wanting to click out or mute the sound just so i could sit through the presentation you probably spent alot of work on. Just keep that in mind for next time because that WILL factor in whether someone decides to watch it or click out of it because of something really irritating.

akoRn responds:

i shall look into it. thanks

[Hey Jim 2]

definitely not front page worthy

its a good chuckle and interesting art style, but i didn't think it was worthy of front page at all, when you compare it to better written and animated submissions.
The joke was a bit unsatisfying too, it just seemed very one-note worthy and there wasn't much to it. And the 70s hairstyle comment was inaccurate. since when is balding with patches of hair on side of head a 70s thing? I see more guys with that NOW than my parents can remember in the 70s..
didn't really make sense.
and something about this makes me think you were inspired by "Office Space" from the similar look of the office worker being picked on to the "fire gag". at most this is like a 2.5 out of 5. its on the front page and only has 18 reviews! i just dont see it.

ImpendingRiot responds:

You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to bad haircuts.

[Up (abbridged version)]

drodZILiA responds:
