ShaeGuy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Quick Action]

I do have to say, submissions like this would normally be better off at the dumping grounds rather than be submitted under judgement. But even then, this video is pretty amazing on its own! The animation and the artwork is some of the best I've seen so far in a long time! Can't even begin to imagine what your legit projects would be like with this type of effort. Keep up the amazing work! :)

[The DUANE dance]

Granted the overall quality of this submission is not bad or anything. The animation is great, the art is legit in my opinion, and the music is a good choice. But having the same thing loop for over 3 minutes can get pretty boring. Maybe some more dance moves would be really nice to have. It's ok for what it is. It just could've been better.

[happy new year !!!]

Pretty simple, but that's what I love about it. Happy New Year! :)

["Snapchat in Highschool"- Storytelling Animation]

While the animation and artwork here is pretty average at best, that is obviously not the focus. The focus is the storytelling aspect. And for what it is, it's pretty great! You were loud and clear, which is enough to be telling stories like this! I also really appreciate the moral you gave out right in the end. I don't know if we are thinking the same thing, but it goes like:

"Treat others the way you want to be treated!"

That moral I swear is pretty much dead at this point, especially on the internet. Nobody just can't learn to respect one another, especially the "adults". Folks really need to grow up and learn to respect other peoples privacy, opinions, ideas, etc. But I know there are plenty of men-children that will try to say otherwise, but that would only prove how ignorant they are. It's all about being open-minded and listening to the other person's opinions and ideas. You never know what you'll learn if you respect others.

MazinZien responds:

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the feedback. Yeah, as far as the animation, I'm still practicing very hard to get even better and better. I'm glad you think my storytelling is great though. Thanks! :)

[Steven Universe: Fries]

Really amazing for a short video! First of all, you did a pretty good job with making the character designs look like the original from TV. Secondly, the animation is almost like it came from TV too. And finally, seeing all the voice actors doing their roles in that vine warms my heart. It was pretty hilarious! Keep up the amazing work! :)

[How did LIFE begin on earth?]

An amazing, informative video! Love everything about it! The video quality itself is enough to give you 5/5. The animation, art, and the voice actor were all spot on. Plus, the information here was very well interesting. I do love theories like this! Don't know what else to say except keep up the amazing work! :)

Curiosity180 responds:

Thank you! Let us know what types of information you would like to see turned into an animation.

[Goblin King]

Really damn great! The fluid claymation and the creative morphing from a man to goblin was just spot on! Hope the film festival goes amazing for you! :)

[Ryu vs Ken Short animation]

I won't lie, this was pretty good for a test and your 1st animation. The animation and the sound effects were all on key for the most part. Though at certain frames with one of the street fighters, there was this white line next to him. Be sure to always check and erase any white lines when dealing with your sprites. Just a nitpick, but some music would've been nice to have. It'd help make your submission engaging. Since this is a test, It's not a good idea to be putting tests under judgement. These types of submissions would get a low score if not blamed. There is a place called the Dumping Grounds where you can post tests at. It is the button next to your message button. And with it you can show your movie off to your friends, family, fans, etc. So please use that next time. But even then, I think the submission will hold up. You got a long way ahead of you, and I hope you improve and evolve as time goes on. Good luck!

RandomMugen responds:

That's good advice, thank you! I'll use your advice for future use and improve! Also, about those white lines...for some reason they appear. I don't really know how to get rid of them in pivot Since that's the program I use. Another problem is that I'm trying to have the music play and the sound effects in windows live movie maker at the same time. If you got any suggestions that will help, please respond!

[Dokuroshima 2 Pt. 1]

Some of the nitpicks I have with this submission is that the voice acting could've been a little bit better. It got pretty emotionless at times. Not to mention it got really quiet in certain parts. The music shouldn't be louder than the voice acting. Also I think some more facial expressions wouldn't hurt to have. But aside from that, this was really good. The artwork is pretty good in my opinion. The animation can be a little bit trippy, but that's what makes it interesting. The music is really amazing and everything. And the effects were honestly mind blowing. The part where they go into some matrix-like world was really great! This was great for what it is, and I hope you continue to make more. Good luck!

AoiShinigami responds:

Thanks for the feedback, I'll make sure I keep on upgrading the quality even further as I continue the series :D
