PIED3's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["WELLSH"]

Really interesting

First of the problems:
The border is incorrect, you've acknowledged this in your Author Comments but it's still a problem and detracts from the overall movie. Secondly the quality isn't great. This is to be expected when you use other programs for effects and then try and put video files in to swfs. Still i think it was worth it as you have some really nice visuals. The audio is a little weird, the sound quality and recording isn't top quality, but that adds a little tone and style to it which adds to the creepyness of the whole thing. The concept is great and i enjoyed the end. The pun in the title gave me a smile.

[Stop Smoking Crack!]

Radical

I really liked this, the song was catchy and the message was humorous. The pacing was good, it never dragged to slow and it kept me entertained the whole time. You're art style is really nice, and you used lots of cool and creative transitions. The option to have subtitles or not was a good touch too. The score you've got seems strangely low, especially with the overall high quality of your animation and the length. Oh well, its a 5 from me, good stuff!

Yea I dont know whats been happening. A lot of good stuff from the portal today has been getting really low scores. Theres probably some spam group bombing them with zeroes. Its sad because I worked really hard on this

Awe inspiring.

Wow. That was brilliant, definitely up there as one of the best animations i've seen on Newgrounds. You got everything right, it was original, it was engaging, it was experimental and exciting. The music was great, and you definitely need to put that up on the Audio Portal, really catchy and fun. The only mistake i think is that i thought at the start when you say "Music and art by: Mark" i thought it had ended and was about to scroll down and give it a 2 for being so short when i realized that was just the start. I think other people might have not noticed it continued and that's the only explanation i can think of as to why this score is as low as it is. This definately should be at least a 4.0. You mixed the different art styles of reality and the dream world well, and i liked the block colours no outline style you used. The animation was all very fluid but i think at the start when he sits down you should have done some more easing/cushioning because it looks a little rigid. The character designs where fun and unique and teh whole concept is great, it was fast paced and kept me engaged. 10/10 from me, amazing work!

Spillkaidah responds:

Man, very kind words... thank you! And yea, i would hope people would have a little more patience than that. The credits weren't even 2 seconds long! Also, i agree about the sitting down part, it was the first part i animated so it was just kinda the thing i didn't have the gumption to redo. Lastly, since you took the time to mention it, i will put up the song shortly :) thanks again

Nice animation, terrible reviews.

Some people don't understand the difference between a review and a comment. This isn't youtube. Anyhow i enjoyed your cartoon, the animation was smooth and the little fbf that there was, was done well. The style looked professional and the sketchy outlines with washed out colours worked well. The black and white background was a bit of a cop out but it looked fine. The punchline was good but you should have an end screen with a replay button rather than the animation immediately going back to the play button. The fact that the onion is visible on the play screen is a little off putting. All in all it's a nice little short, good stuff!

[Just Two Guys Episode 3]

Amusing

The comedy was great. The pacing was quick and punchy and whilst i was a little confused at the start about what on earth was going on when we got back to the main characters i could easily follow the plot. The concept of a god imposter was nice and i enjoyed the failed parachute subplot and the scene at the end was hilarious. The voice acting is good but not amazing, and the animation is a little lazy. The art i think is fine. All in all it was an enjoyable animation with some great comedy. Keep it up!

[Sean and Such Ep. 8]

Ha ha

Good stuff. Your humour and timing is spot on as always. The animation is simplistic and at times the thing feels a little static but it just about does the job. The characters are what really bring the thing to life and the voice acting is superb. You should really stop it from looping at the end though and have a preloader and play button. The art is nice and the character designs are detailed enough to give the characters some... character. All in all i like it and look forward to the next episode!

[Just Some Birds]

Perfect number of dick jokes

The animation was smooth and fluent, and the character designs where simplistic but detailed enough to give some life and depth to the birds. I enjoyed the idea of a teenage bird not wanting to learn, and the idea of putting human flaws onto characters worked well in this case. The intro was nice and smart and the pacing was great. All in all a good flash!

[Moon Diary]

Awesome!

I really liked this. Great concept and you pulled it off almost perfectly. Some of the animation was a little off and it would have been nice to see some fbf but the tweening for the most part was great. The art design was simplistic yet beautiful and the main thing i enjoyed was the imagery and ideas you presented along with the intriguingly abstract story.
There where lots of beautiful moments, i particularly enjoyed the wolf scenes and the finale with the thousands of birds bursting out of the moon was breathtaking. You had tons of awesome ideas in this like the teeth falling out and turning into power masts, and him reading the story board of his own story. The voice acting was great, and i liked the down to earth voice used for the moon.
And finally i loved the music! The acoustic stylings really helped to add to the drama and emotionally engage me in the story. All in all this was a great piece and i thank you for creating it!

[I touch my eyeballs]

Yeah,

thats actually a pretty valid point.
