MistyE's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Girl meets Robot]

Hmm.

The art looked a bit gritty and the animation a little choppy, but overall it was pretty well put-together, I must say.

Definitely a different, but cute approach to the whole robot theme. It felt like I was looking out of something out of a childrens' storybook, it has that sort of vibe to it. Great song choice, by the way.

4/5

[Dr.Wily's Robot Museum]

Fantastic.

An interesting insight into the original Megaman games. This one's a bit different than your other spam in that it's helpful and informative and actually a bit entertaining to watch, especially given the song choice.

Something like this would be much better on YouTube, but given the fact this was submitted almost three years before YouTube even existed, it served its purpose and it's really not that bad.

3/5

[Clock rave!!]

To recap...

Clock Crew + Zelda = 5/5

[The Candy Wars]

I like it.

[Sing, Kitty, Swing!]

Very nicely animated, nice drawing style. I really liked the backgrounds, they were nice, colorful and fitting. The animation was really nice and smooth. Sometimes the actions weren't exaggerated enough or timed as well as they could have been, but it's still very nice. Music suited the submission, as it promoted the playful, eventful vibe that the submission had.

Not crappy at all, don't know why you'd even consider that.

5/5

[The New Episode]

Very nice.

RogersEntertainment responds:

Thank you Very Much

[*Have A Nice Day*]

I love this.

[Chain Message]

The art style was nothing I haven't seen before, but the smooth line quality and the actual animation compensated for it, in my opinion. I like the small details, such as the "i'm on the weird side" comment on YouTube that we've all seen before, and the poster, it definitely makes a difference.

When the guy drags her corpse, the walking motion is nice though I think it can definitely be improved, it looks slightly choppy.

Animations about chain letters very rarely bring anything new to the table. It's either about a chain letter coming true or in other cases, some kid ranting about why chain letters are stupid. This wasn't any different.

[FBF: The Ant Experiment]

Well, the effort is definitely there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good:

- Smooth animation.
- Nice environmental art.
- Fitting sounds and background music.
- The coloring.
- The shadows.

Bad:

- Really jittery movement. This is mostly because there's practically no proportion.
- Sloppy inbetweens. I freeze-framed a lot and a lot of times, the line quality was fairly sloppy.
- Timing. Before you do the fbf, it's advised that you time and plot out the actions, and time it well.
- Jittery camera movement when it does the close-up.

Well, glad everything that was intended to be good was good. The jittery movement is most likely due to everything being drawn over again (and I'll admit sloppily). Sometimes I do have trouble with proportion (usually when walking a character of mine tends to gradually get shorter) even when using onion skinning, so that's something I need to work on then.
Most of the bad line quality is because I had started this project with 100% smoothing, then it somehow went to 50%, then I went back to 100%, and finished it up with 40%. I could have gone back and polished up a lot of these lines, but again, that would be adding a lot more time that has already had a lot of time put into it.
Since it started out plotless, and then I decided to somehow have an ending, I guess things would be a little poorly timed, which they are. Of course, if I did something scripted, I would be sure to time everything right.
Honestly I'm not sure what happened with the close up, it was smooth in flash, plus by logic it should have gone by fast, and not look laggy like that. Either that or adding more frames there would help, which I did attempt to do. Originally I think there was only 3 or 4 zooms, then I did an inbetween for each of them, and apparently that wasn't enough. But whatever.
Well, at least the good out numbers the bad in this one :D.
Thanks for the review!
