Phantasmagoria-crow's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tiddlywank]

I liked it...

Made it's point pretty eloquently. Plus putting a monocle on a squirrel is never a bad choice.

Please tell me there's a secret scene that has a 1% chance of playing during the power-up montage!?

[Smodpast]

Haha awesome

I've been wanting to do an animation based on some of the scenarios Smith and Mosier have acted out. Such as when Smith accosts the foreigner dude in the cereal isle. Another good one would be when Mosier got into the the small car accident, and they reenacted the scene.

If you do them first I won't have to. This is awesome work, great job.

[OT01: Out There]

Real excited about this.

I love the idea, love the music, and love the animation. I wish you much luck and hope hope this becomes something real special.

[Jerry]

This is exquisite.

I hope you've entered some of your work to some major competitions or film festivals. This one especially is so cool and delightfully dark. It stands out when compared to your other flashes, for me anyways. This is something special, and hilarious. I'm glad I finally discovered you're work, I've been missing out till now. Keep it up, very impressive.

[There She Is!! step3]

Interesting.

My friends seem to really enjoy this series, but honestly I can't get into it. I really like the animation and the look and you create a proper atmosphere. But relationship type stuff like this just doesn't do it for me.

But... Suppose you end this series with a horrific bloodbath of gore and really rattle everyone. Something really psychologically disturbing, well crafted and meaningful. Then this would be classic.

I like it, love the work put into it, appreciate the skill, just not my cup of tea.

[2 - The Story of Khale]

Damn!

That is some amazing talent! Do not stop or waste time, you know what you love to do so go out and succeed as much as you can. Your efforts will be well rewarded. I wish I had work this impressive when I was your age. I'm beginning to sound old...

[Lost Titles]

I love this.

Even tho it isn't the usual animated musical flash affair, I really appreciate the song. Very very funny, I think some of the reviewers are confusing this as serious suggestion for an opening intro. Lost is meant to be intro-less.

[Subordinate Droids 3]

This was really cool.

Really nice story and cool action. Felt like watching something on the TV. I like the dynamic you have going between the characters. It's obvious you put a lot of effort in your work and it pays off well. And you used just enough of the 3d effect with swift. Some artists tend to overuse it once they discover how to utilize it. It's refreshing to see it peppered in there when it's needed and not blatantly overused. Because I'm American the accents give it a real nice feel... for me anyways. I look forward to the next.

sorbitol responds:

Thanks a lot, mate!
I'm glad that you didn't feel the 3D stuff was overused. I try and blend it in so that it's not too much of a gimmick and that it works with the whole cartoon. I was a bit worried about it but your review has put my mind as ease!
Really appreciate it- thanks!

[Shadow Legacy]

Really nice animation.

Very nice work and the backgrounds are really interesting and well rendered. I'm sorry to hear this wont be completed. I hope for you're next project you create a story for us. This shows great skill, I'd love to see you tackle something that will engage us more. I know you are trying to improve you're quality but make sure you outline the entire movie first, even thru fast sketches, so you can get the pacing and timing down. Then you can always go back after the 'skeleton' of the movie is made to finesse all the animation and backgrounds.

You can make the file size smaller by saving the background images at lower quality. I find that helps me create backgrounds that aren't overly detailed yet have enough information to say what it has to say. I think the first priority should be to sketch out an entire story first, even if its just stick figures, then finalize after that, focusing on quality. Great work, I look forward to what you have in store!

[Metal Gear Awesome 2]

Exceptional!

For everyone who seems to like doing parodies of your work... perhaps implying that it's easy... I think you did a great job of showing all them up. This was awesome, and you've proved that only YOU can do what you do, best. Hope that made sense. Anyways this was hilarious, great work. Make many more!
