PastryMan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Psyche-Out]

Such potential,

Yet poorly executed. You had good quality in this. The length was good, and you attempted a storyline.

The graphics need improvement, the use of radiants really killed the mood. You should practice a animation a bit more, the stick fights could have been much more interesting and had more length. Voice acting would have been nice, but I understand that it can be difficult to find people willing to work for you. Also, the storyline was quite cliche and has room for improvement, but its just a stick rampage, after all. The whole movie felt like the beginning to an action arcade videogame.

For a first submission, this is really good. I think in a while you should think about redoing it with more detail and less radiants. I hate radiants.

Good Luck.

Nice job.

Excellent job at a wierd anime. It had lots of little details that are important, like symbolism and original settings, original for a romance story. The characters were well devoloped and had emotions and...soul. The anime had a humorous cliff-hanger ending, which fit well with the rest of the story.

Now, there were a few things that I personally would have liked to see done better. The environments looked a little bit out of style with the characters, with the more "Gradient" 3D look. Also, the music didn't have much going for it, rather dull and ordinary. Since the music was emphasized in the anime within a couple of scenes, it felt...out of place and just there to make sure there was some sort of audio going on, almost like elevator music, just there for company.

Overall, its a wonderful submission, with pretty drawings and animations. It could use a bit of work, but it is fun story thats simple and light-hearted, unlike the "Blood and Gore" side of NG. I'd like to see more from you, and if you finished this in a few weeks, then your obviously know what your doing. Keep it up.

Well...

It wasn't bad. It was rather enjoyable. Just, the story was honeslty kind of weak. Ok, so we have a boy and he decides to randomly chase this rabbit. Oddly enough, he chases this rabbit for like a half hour into the dark creepy woods. Surprise, theres a wolf. What does the boy do? Well, chase the rabbit, ofcourse! Turns out that the rabbit is like jesus or something (I know thats not what you were going for but with the bright lights and such it feels that way) and it leads the lost little boy to safety.

Dont get me wrong, though. It was a great submission and I think you should be proud, but next time try to make things make a bit more sense and not so cliche. You certainly have potential, your a good animator, just not a writer...yet.

Keep it up, I hope to see more from you.

element-2 responds:

there was no script. i animated to the music. i get bored when i write out stories and animate to them. i'm not much of an animator. i see and understand how i want something to look. this is more focused on how the picture goes with the music, rather than how you think the character is feeling. so thanks for the reveiw.

[A Year Of Improvement]

Words cannot express the awesomness..

Wow. I absolutely love it. Really I do. I added you to my faves.

Movie:
Holy shit. Smooth ass animations. WONDERFUL camera movement, like, damn freakin good. The camera makes me want to like...just scream. No, let me restate that, the camera movement makes me want to have your baby. You are stick animation jesus, or Diety as someone said before me. I cant possibly say anything bad. I could go on forever...

This is front pag- no, this is #1 movie of the month material. I love you. If anyone says ANYTHING negative about this holy creation, they deserve to be locked up in a room and watch this flash until their brain explodes from too much awesome. Well, thats enough I guess. You are my role model, and I hope to see a LOT more masterpieces from you.

Thank you.

[O-two]

Awesome

Nice, short, and gets to the point. Would have been awesome to see the dead- I mean CO2 get eaten back up and revived by the plants. Perhaps...I dunno, make a movie called..CO Two! (See it has a two in it...for part two.I thinks its cool)

[BOB episode 1]

Nice, but needs work

I liked the new artistic style. When you said that it has an original style I was thinking "Pff, another noob who thinks demons and flames havn't been done," I was wrong. One thing that kept me out of the experience, though, was the quality of the sounds and music, and the mediocre voic acting. It wasn't all too funny either. Overall its a good fun series that I'd like to see more of, but a bit of work would go a long way. Good luck :D

thrakish responds:

thank you very much. im currently working on an episode 2, and i have taken all acount into cleaning up the animation a bit, as well as my sound. ESPECIALLY my sound.

[Sprite vs Me]

Damn nice

I used to think that I was pretty good. Now I know what a true piece of art is...thank you...

[The Strange SMW 2]
