jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Intro]

Do not upload just an intro. Upload an actual movie with it. Nobody is interested in anything for your Youtube channel, this is Newgrounds.

Julian-Martinez-Rosa responds:

SHUT THE FRICK UP I HAD 40 SUBS

[Marc Wars]

Hmm, it's got some nice drawing and animation, but it's fairly nonsensical, and bloats its runtime by having half the movie be credits. Might be worth one watch but that's about it.

KingComics responds:

You make a good point. thank you for feedback

[Funny Stickman Animation]

It has a lot more to it than a lot of first animations, in that it actually has sound, it has somewhat of a payoff at the end, and the animation isn't too bad. It's just really short and lacks enough hilarity/violence/whatever to make it worth more than I'm giving it - you've got something going, just try to expand things into something more in depth for your next upload

PrabsAnimation responds:

Thanks jonthomson, will do longer video next time and will try making it more exciting.

[Incident:AG525]

Dull Krinkels ripoff. Nothing slightly original here, lacking in content, avoid unless you are a diehard Madness fan and will watch anything remotely related to it.

Eliter responds:

...

[Incident : 001]

Has a decent bit of length to it, animation is OK. Only barely worth protecting because it's completely unoriginal and has horrific audio, with your own characters and style I'd probably give this 3/5 or so

LTHS1222 responds:

That's true

[Chibi Intro]

Do not upload intros. Upload intros followed by actual videos. Especially do not upload intros which you will say will be used for an entirely different site.

creativeblackmind responds:

Thank you for your comment, I did not know that. Complete noob to animation and to newgrounds. Will not do this next time. Should I take it down?

[First Madness Combat Animation]

Such a shame when someone finally makes a first animation and cannot come up with anything original whatsoever. Madness guys killing Madness guys, nothing we haven't seen done better a decade ago, nothing to see here.

EMPHATICX responds:

hey i'm sorry you are that tooth and nail against classic animations, but this is my first after all. all i wanted to do was work with flash and test my skills, and i had a very limited sprite sheet at the time too. trust me in the future i will make some unique animations but for now i just want to get better at using the program.

[If Rappers Had Ordinary Jobs]

Animation is pretty good. Trouble is, like all "_____ animated" videos, they're not your own ideas - it's just using the entire audio and concept of someone else's Youtube video. If this was original I'd like this a lot more.

Enpax responds:

I think one thing you have to understand is that inspiration can come from anywhere. While I didn't come up with the concept, my interpretation of the source material maybe slightly different from the original author's. The same idea can also be found in fan animated music videos that often fill in the blanks as to what images to put on screen while the music is playing. While I'm not claiming to be original with this, I think a well animated fan video is much more appealing than a cartoon with shitty animation and shitty writing that the animator came up with. Not that this is well animated...
