MistyE's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[- Move Your Feet -]

An absolutely wonderful use of the pixel tool plug-in. The sprites were good, in that they were original, something almost all sprite films lack.

This music video, much like the original music video, maintained an upbeat tone and rhythm throughout the entire song, and also maintained a certain level of originality despite it being loosely based off of the official music video.

There's also a perfect balance of randomness in here. Dancing food, DDR, Daft Punk, DBZ, etc. And what's more amazing is that you managed to seamlessly merge all of these into one music video without it feeling forced!

Congratulations, rtil.

Zekey's part was amazing

The backgrounds were unpleasant to look at. I think you will find that if you draw something with the line tool, and draw the same thing with the brush tool, the brush tool will look much better. The line tool gives off a manufactured, mechanic vibe that something like this really shouldn't have.

And I'm not even sure that the animation can be considered animation at all, it's motion-tweened line tool drawings and shape-tweened movements (motion tweens are okay sometimes, though shape tweens aren't.)

Story was okay, I guess. Not necessarily what I would consider a 'comedy' or 'uplifting' as your tags suggested, but still okay.

3/5

[School Animation]

Please note that I'm not insulting you, but trying to help. What grade did you get for this?

The texture was appropriately used, but it does not entirely cover up the overall laziness of it all. Some shots like the full shot of the plane plummeting down were focused on too long, more variety in the shots is needed.

The animation was not really animation. Just motion tweens without any noticeable easing and loops. Some of them like the loop with the clouds don't loop correctly.

The shot in which the guy is falling could've been done better. For example, the timing on the beard. One drawing stays there longer than the other, all of it has to be done at the same time. Faster movement would also be suggested, and movement on the man is suggested other than just his beard.

The moral at the end seemed random and out of place. I don't think putting a moral was even necessary and the actual moral seems a bit cliched.

You have potential, I hope you take this review into consideration for future animations.

3/5

Ah, recycled art, we meet again. The gradient background was nicely fitting, and the gradients for the character were subtle and appropriately used. The shading was nice, too.

I look forward to reviewing more of your high-quality spam (or at least higher quality than other spam). 3/5

[Spinister Ep. 008]

Nice flashing background. Mesmerizing as usual.

The recycled artwork present in this flash submission was pretty good. It was stylized, and the line quality was nearly perfect, as with every other submission by Spinister. I definitely enjoyed the music, too.

The audio was truly an enjoyable remix of Space Jam. These submissions are starting to grow on me. Keep up the good work.

[QUEER]

Hmm, this is the same as another one of your submissions.

Well, interesting audio nonetheless, mesmerizing to a certain degree, and nice artwork as usual. Keep up the good work.

[Spinister Ep. 013]

Love the background, as always. I'm still not sure I can ever recreate such an awesome background. As for the artwork, it was recycled, but nevertheless, great. The pixel art was great, along with the recycled Sinitron artwork.

Good music, too, as well.

[Spinister Ep. 007]

Well-done in the technical aspect.

Even though the motion-tweening for the guy accounts for all of the animation, it was still very well-done and stylized. The detail of the art is great too, such as the Sinitron avatar, Stagbeetle and EnvelopeClock.

This is one of those rare submissions that have gradients, but don't abuse them. And as usual, great music choice.

[SpiniSTER EP. 012]

Heh, I love that preloader.

This is something I'd expect of a typical submission by Spinister - a really good drawing, set to a cool background and accompanied by great music. As I said in my previous reviews of your submissions, what differentiate your art from others would be the effort you devote to smoothing out the line quality manually so that it doesn't look awful and so Flash won't ruin the quality of the art.

I'd have to agree with Alter-native here, though - you're a master of Flash 8 effects, and a great artist. It'd be great to see you make a wonderful movie worthy of tons of praise, etc.

But in the meantime, I'll enjoy the submissions like this.
