ShaeGuy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stick and Bun]

I'll give it credit that the animation is pretty smooth and fluid. Not to mention the art here is really good in my opinion. It just looks very cute lol. But yeah, the problem here is that there is no audio to it. I understand your reasoning for not having sound, but it's no excuse either. Having no audio in a movie submission can really hurt your overall score. Just saying. Not to mention the animation is on a loop. I recommend getting Swivel so the animation can be in a video player. It's a free newgrounds program, so it should be no problem to get. While I do like some aspects to this submission, there are others that I do not like. Just remember to improve the next time you submit something under judgement. Good luck!

ShaeGuy, your review is really helpful for a newbie like me! Truly appreciate it! Definitely gonna improve in my next submits :)). I still try to figure out why my animation is in loop like that though :(

[League Animation: Epsiode #1 - League of Draven]

The biggest problem with this is the pacing. It is way too slow-paced. If this is suppose to be about action, it needs to be a lot faster. Something this slow and non-engaging can really hurt your overall score on newgrounds. However, the animation itself is pretty smooth for the most part. And the art and line work is pretty good in my opinion. I just really do adore basic art most of the time lol. Like I said, you need to speed up the pacing because it is really slow here. I hope you take my advice, and try to improve. Good luck!

LeagueAnimation responds:

Thanks for your feedback!
Acctually this was my first animation, and i agree with you, the pace in this is too slow, took me some time to realize that. So, i did the second episode, with a faster pace, you can check if you want it. I want all the advices that i can get!

[Mike's Hangout]

That was pretty enjoyable! I do admire all the hard work you put into this, and I hope you get a good grade too. The animation itself reminds me a bit of the Ed Edd 'n Eddy style, which I really do love! The art and linework looks pretty good in my opinion. I really do adore the sketchy looking lines! Makes everything look like it was drawn from a notebook lol. And the overall story is pretty hilarious. Especially with that used condom xD. But yeah, keep up the good work because you have talent and potential! :)

DioShiba responds:

Thanks! Not gonna lie Danny Antonucci is one of the influences for the style I was aiming for on this one. It got a pretty good response from the showing I had last night at my college so I am hopeful it'll get a decent grade.

[Mafia women speedpaint]

Looks pretty good. Keep up the good work!

RobertNeag responds:

thank you ;)

[Brian Reagan: Mosen]

I mean, it's really not that terrible. Believe me, I know plenty of submissions that tried far less and succeed less. The lip syncing is actually pretty good to be honest. But yeah, not really a fan of tween animation. It can be good if done right, but here though, it really needs some work. The art and linework also needs some work in my opinion. The overall submission is nothing bad, it just needs more work.

But now my biggest problem here is not the submission, it's the fact you tried using your age as an excuse to avoid criticism. I'm sorry kid, but being 11 does not mean a damn thing. You could be like 8 on here, and still be criticized. The idea of constructive criticism is to help those in need of improvement, and watching them improve in the near future. So yeah, there is really no excuse to avoid being criticized in general, and your age especially is no excuse either. Plus, I know a good chunk of 11 year olds that has made wonderful animations, and put their all into it. All I'm saying is, never use your age as an excuse. It really is not ok.

And don't think I'm hating on you. From the look of the submission, it seems you have some potential and talent that could really shine one day. You just need to put your all into it, and try to make something wonderful. So yeah, I wish you the best of luck!

UdoImehProductions responds:

Thankyou. This is the best way to criticize in a constructive way. I'll take the tips

[Pizzaman]

Buddy, words cannot describe how amazing this submission really is. And the fact that this is your 1st submission on newgrounds and 2nd time directing is what's really blowing my mind right now. You and glasscake both did a wonderful job with this. Where do I start? The animation is smooth and fast whenever it needs to be, the art and linework is really wonderful in my opinion, and the overall story is just hilarious! Not to mention the color scheme is really pretty to look at. If this is what you got under your belt so far, I can't even imagine what your future projects will be like! I really hope you get a daily feature because of this! This is my next favorite! And you got yourself another fan! I can wait to see more from you! :D

Shaipi responds:

Aah thank you so much for your kind words ! I don't usually get such great comment, it's very encouraging ! I'll keep doing my best, thanks !

[Shadow's smoking problem (sonic oddshow collab entry)]

Pretty good pixel animation as most submissions like this one would normally have! Also yeah, that was pretty hilarious lmao. The only thing I can nitpick is that the animation is on loop. I recommend Swivel so the animation will be on a video player. It's free, so it should be no problem to get. But yeah, pretty good. Keep up the good work!

fahyda responds:

don't worry ive already done a conversion to mp4, but that ones going on meh youtube thanks tho

[Sok and the Bird]

Pretty impressive for your 1st animation! The animation itself is pretty good as far as comedic timing goes. While the art and line work is not amazing (Granted it is your 1st animation, so I'll give you that), it also makes everything look cute and adorable. I also love that Mario bit right at the end! Gave me a bit of nostalgia. Bottom line is that you got potential and talent to make great content! If it's this decent now, just imagine what you could make in the future. All I can say is good luck and try hard! Have fun on newgrounds! :)

Snackers responds:

Thank you! I'm working an another one currently, and so far it's looking to be much better. You're support is really appreciated man, thanks.

[Door 2 Door Episode 2 - The Very Best]

While this submission is not that bad or anything, it's really not that enjoyable either. The art and line work can really use a lot more improvement in my opinion. Maybe having outlines in the backgrounds for example. I mean, this wouldn't be a big issue if the animation was at least smooth and looking good. But even the animation is pretty stiff for the most part. Granted there is lip-syncing (which is not bad by the way), and some movements in the characters. But still, there should be a lot more movement than that. Especially in the song sequence, it was basically just a slideshow. Any submission under judgement should never be a slideshow. Not to mention the voice acting half the time was too quiet. Learn to amplify the voices so they are loud and clear. Don't take it the wrong way, I mean you do have some talent here that has potential. You just need to improve on the overall quality of your work because it is really lacking in certain parts. I hope you take my advice, and try to get better. Good luck!

BonfireCow responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I'm still learning, and if you've seen the first episode, there's a massive improvement. I know this one has a lot of flaws, but granted I had a limited deadline, there wasn't much I could do. I'll take your advice about sounds and movements, thanks.
