RobsNCoppers's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Too much zelda]

Great First

Good work on the character's expressions. Also, the changes in scenery and the quick cuts which show the character suiting up look great. Spending more time on the shapes is essential though. Otherwise you simply end up animating blobs. Still, the flyby through the city looked pretty good.

[The Portal God']

talent

That you were able to make so much motion and story happen with minimal animating says something about your talent for atmosphere. The minimal colors made the flash attractive, and the comic strip feel of the story was interesting. Still, work a little more on the simple animation like character movement. For example, I would avoid using tweens to animate opening mouths. Still, good work overall.

[Patient]

chilling

Nice use of expression to make the violence all the more unexpected and chilling. The animation was very smooth in the sense that you know how to depict the motion of the body. Yet, the constant movement of the borders made it all the more enrgetic and frightening.

[Sketched-Runaway Wedding]

Great Skit

Your sketches are great. They feel very much like theatrical comedy sketches, so the title is well chosen. This one did not offer as much to look at as some of the others I've seen, but the joke made up for it.

sirjeffofshort responds:

Thanks man. I wasn't sure what the response to this sketch would be but I'm really happy people have enjoyed it thus far.

[Cold-Blooded Christmas]

Eww dude

Great tune. Well written, though a bit morbid for my usual tastes. The animation was simple but smooth and suited the song well. Also, great twist at the end, it really seperated the cartoon from other santa-burglar misunderstandings I've seen.

RWA responds:

Thanks! I didn't expect it would turn out so morbid when I was starting work on it though.

[Death Vault]

Yes,

Finally someone twists the stick-man fighting genre into a little more. By adding that cartoony ending, the otherwise strong stick animation became fresh.

SHOQ responds:

well I'm glad I changed it up, and besides, i didn't want to do an exact rip-off if the battlefield series!

[The story of the bible.sw]

Slow

The pace is very slow, and the animation is not very satisfying. You should work on some more dynamic animation techniques and superimpose the passages instead of interupting the animation with the passages.

[Wero]

saved by character

This cartoon was saved by good character design. There may not have been anything special about the animation, but the character's funny proportions and expressions made it worth watching. The music was a good choice and the character's dancing worked with it. Still, try pushing the animated dance moves into new terriroty next time.

Shan83 responds:

thank you!

[Follow Your Dreams]

Well done

The story could move a little more quickly, but the terrible faux morel is enjoyable to watch play out. I like the character and setting designs. You used large eyes for great exagerated emotion.

[Dance Off!]

I got up today to see this

The animation is very smooth, and the characters are well-designed. The story is simple, as it should be, and good choice of music. I especially liked your use of lighting effects to turn a dismal alley into a discoteca.
