GodProject's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fallen Angel Ep. 1 (Pt3)]

Wow...

I've been waiting for this for four years...and I have to say I was extremely impressed. The first two episodes didn't prepare me for the last. Those nuclear explosions rivaled any I've seen in a hollywood film. Amazingly impressive.

[Calvin and Hobbes]

ah man...

I love Calvin and Hobbes. I'm inspired to do a Calvin and Hobbes animation now. Great work man. Loved the faithfulness of Watterson's thick inks and watercolors. Not big on the song though..I'll have to work on that.

[Rocky and Rambo:Star Wars]

Not to be negative but,

Do you just draw family guy characters? Because thats all I really saw was a Seth McFarlane look with some repetitive action. What would make me more excited for this film, is some more dynamic angles, or large pan and scan shots of Rocky and Rambo taking on a whole army of Stormtroopers. Just a thought. I mean, I haven't completed but one animation, but I don't want to submit anymore because I think they'll be just as simplistic as this one but I have my own style. I don't mean to come down hard on you, but you just caught me a weird moment. Its not really your animation alone that I'm commenting on. Its more to do with the amount of simple animation that through this site hourly. Then I guess thats why theres a ranking system installed in teh first place. Pretty much I guess I'm ranting and I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression about my review when I'm really just attempting to be constructive. Develop more of your own art style, and use more complex animation. I'm aware that this is a one week effort but what you're showing us is simply two simple motion tweens and some moving text. A single angle shot of the Millenium Falcon with nothing else or any other angles. Then two characters fighting two characters with the same exact features. Since when has a movie with twins really been that good? All in all I'm saying you are at a good starting point and you
re working towards something and thats good. I would personally love some crow and see a completed version of this as long as it is original and seems to have some actual work put into it. I just don't think many good animations come out of a weeks worth of work. Consider shadows on characters. Especially, if you use the same angles. Also consider that animator for every single item might not be your speciality. Focus on wht your strong at or really enjoy and get that perfected. I'd personally like to see crews formed just like in a real animation with people focusing on what they excel at and towards a common goal.
Yes, it takes some serious organizational skills, but it would be a different kind of collab. So focus on what you're good at and build on that. Not for just a week but many weeks and as many ideas as you can pump out whether you like them or not. Sorry if this review came off sounding condescending, I didn't intend it so, and maybe I'm stepping out of my bounds here, but I felt honesty as an aspiring animator rather than a lazy discourse would me more constructive. And yes, run on sentences are fun.

Thanks for the responce, but I haven't read that much in a while. And I didn't want to put a whole bunch of effort into this because It's just a trailer. I'm going to defintally put more effort and originality into the final movie. I might add shading, but I'm not going to use sound-clips, I'm going to record the voices and put them in the final film. Plus, I don't really see how an animation looking similiar to Family Guy is a bad thing, even though I only based the Darth Vader character off of Family Guy.

[Star Wars: Old Wounds]

That was a good comic and a good adaptation

I was actually wanting to do that comic into animation and now you've beaten me to it...oh well now to find a new story. Anyaways, really good work man. The style reminded me of Batman:TAS and Daarth Mauls voice actor was spot on. Lets see more.

[Ryu]

Reminded me of Ukiyo-e but with an art deco feel

The only thing I didn't like was how the traditional music had that midi beat in it.

[Merry Melony ep.1]

Pretty damn sweet.

I think I have the story figured out but I'm not going to suppose on it and possibly ruin everyones suspense. The art was good I liked the almost pencil drawn look of it and the backgrounds were awesome. That's something I always have probs with. Keep up the good work.

[son bitch counter strike]

It almost made me feel like I was really playing

Great work. Hee hee. I've been on servers like that before. Who knows maybe we'll see each other around. I'm always on DOD georgia tech.

[Ultimate MK Outtakes]

rewatchable but bland

Real good work on animation and sound but it was just to much of pretty much the same thing over and over.

[Adam Android Strikes Back]

It was so witty and simple. Loved it.

That pretty much said everything I wanted to say about.
