ShaeGuy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

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.

[Markiplier Animated - Bendy and the ink machine chapter 2]

While it's really nothing special, it is pretty entertaining at least. While I'm not much of a fan for the art and line work, the animation itself makes up for it. Obviously, the animation here is the main focus and not the art itself. Not to mention some of the scenes you chose to animate (which are some great choices by the way lol). It's a cute, charming little piece of work that has talent and effort put into, and I really appreciate that!

By the way, about the "please be gentle..." comment, everyone has the right to judge submissions like yours as they please. There are going to be some folks that will be rather harsh towards you and your animations, and you need to learn to embrace what you get. Not to mention, it doesn't help that you sort of jinxed yourself by saying that. Just be careful on what you say next time.

With all of this said, I do wish you the best of luck on your animations. See you later.

Jmainia responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I am trying to improve my artwork bit by bit!

[The Way of the Samurai]

I really do like the animation here! Not to mention the art and line work on the samurai and his weapon. You obviously have some really good talent here. However, something this short and non-engaging should've been on your dumping grounds instead of being submitted under judgement. Also, I strongly recommend Swivel so the animation is not on loop. It's a free newgrounds program, so it should be no problem to get. Again, you got plenty of potential here. It just needs to be explored more. So with that said, I hope you get better in the future. Good luck!

RMAnimations responds:

Thanks that means a lot! I did use swivel, and the character design of this guy was so complex that it took like 2 weeks to make this. Next time i should focus on length and not have the character so detailed.

[Clash of Clans parody]

While the animation can be a little bit choppy at certain points, I do appreciate everything else. I'm sure some folks would not like slow paced animations like this one, but I do. Nothing like a chuckle to get your morning started! The color scheme is pretty good to look at, and so is the art and line work here. Again, you just need to bring up the frame rate a bit so that the characters can move a lot smoother than in the submission here. I wish you the best of luck. Keep up the good work!
