NCH's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Toonami Collab]

lol finally this got out. Glad I get to contribute to this.

Gray responds:

Hell yeah!1

[BOMBISUKI]

I rarely review, but I can give my honest criticism I guess

overall I think you have the grasp in animation somewhat, but I think you still lack in the direction of how you want to show and portray your scenes.

one major mistake u had was that scene from 46-52seconds. on my first watch, I was confused who that extra kid came from suddenly out of no where. after rewatching that scene again, I realize you snug in like 2seconds of the blue robot throwing some green thing onto his pet panda and then cutting immediately to a new scene.

I take that that green thing now transforms the pet panda dog thing into the other kid while he became the robot. was there any reason you omit out that transformation or not properly establishing that the panda dog actually also transforms? or that you are relying on people who already watch your previous development on this series to know that his panda dog changes?

I think, you still have to at least make some more establishment on this rather than just 2-3 seconds of a quick gesture to tell folks whats going on. or isit cause you are concern of the music timming so you ommited out that? it could be established earlier with some proper re-working of the starting scenes too like maybe show them both transforming.

I think your animation works fine, still on the path of improvement but you are getting the idea, abiet some scenes are really too fast to catch. remember that you may KNOW what your scene is doing, people who arent working on it don't know anything so you may need to "slow" down some sequence to properly establish or show the sequence you're choreographing out.

overall I think you're doing fine and keep up the good job.

Xraylive responds:

Thank you for the review! I already realized the mistakes that you listed as I had people tell me about those specific errors when i was working on this, but this project had a due date at the time. I also realized I tend to make my animation fast pace to the point the viewer doesn't know what is going on so I plan on making that one of my main focuses. I told myself after I get this project done, I will begin training on my craft so the critiques are always appreciated.

[Monster Hunter Barbeque]

nice to see a monster hunter animation made.
voice could had being better lol. I do kinda question was the sake of animating the turning shot of the hunter's face was necessary though cause it kinda didnt really add anything to the scene and felt it was like extra work unless you were practicing more on your frame by frame work.

nevertheless, nice work. love the detail you put in, but could had be refined more for deviljoe's animation lol.

Zero-End responds:

Thanks for the review, I love your work. I will definitely make good use of the critiques.

[Bunnykill 5 Part 1]

wow the cloak technic

didnt know I finally get to see someone do the cloaking technic put into very good use in this animation!

its done by making your character the animated mask on a slightly larger BG to create the distortion effect right?

that scene must have LOTS of masking work.

Mottis responds:

Yeah, thats how i did the cloacking, except that it's not bigger than the "real" background, i just moved it a ittle bit to the right and downwards. Oh, and it's a .jpeg, so the movie would run smoother (It still lagged quite a bit on the cloacking parts, at least for me)

[Repercussions of Evil]

it does had its moments.

given that your animation is up against other variations done before like G mod which tend to have even funnier situations presented compared to your flash version. But I think you executed yours pretty well in the end. I was half expecting some actual serious attempt/take on that story but you did show most of the funny scenes with serious executions in terms of the art style.

Galneda responds:

Ehh it's all a matter of opinion if the Gmod one's had funnier situations or not. I am one of those that saw those Gmod interpretations and thought "this could be done better."

I tried to balance out the overdrama with comedy so it's not constantly in your face, ANNOYINGLY joke after joke after gag after joke, y'know? Plus, I'm under the theory that there can be comedy in the content when its trying to take itself seriously in between absurd acts. I've also used this flash as a platform to practice many different things I've never done before.

I'm glad you liked this hideous little experiment, and I thank you for the review. :)

[Pokemon: Fated Encounter]

its good but effects really got messy as it goes

as usual, its really well executed but the fights really really got vibratingly messy as it goes on. basically maybe cause of that resolution you choose to animate.

but nevertheless I think more stuff can be still improved. pretty good anyway.

uinless its your intention to make it that fast and messy.

Tyrant-D responds:

NCH you will give me a 10 in my next flash just you watch!!

AArrrrhhhh XD

[Pokemon: Fated Battle]

hey...my name IS in the credits!

never knew about this until i saw it on youtube when someone mention that this was better than pokemon hunter.

well, hey! looks like you took inspiration from my pokemon hunter, its a good thing I see my name in the credits cause those ultra dramatic steelix jaw pose and so on are really a dejavu heh.

anyhow, I can say the choreography is really better than mine, though effects has to be work on, ie your smoke explosion is just a bunch of curvy black lines.

character consistency needs to be improved on also

personally, I think you did exceptionally well with the steelix battle ;) cause I love how you copied all my DRAMATIC JAW ANGLES, AND MOVING SEGMENTS.
the charizard battle scene feels quite too hard to follow and tacky in some way

the one gibe about this animation is that it feels too claustrophobic, probably your resolution and many scenes has just felt really too cramped up and too full of action.

well, since this is what u claim as your second ever made flash i think its pretty not bad but it still has lots of room for improvement. flash animation starts to take an ass long to finish when you start to begin all that "Quality control"

thats why I never finish anything in the end cause I'm a perfectionist and I always want to get every scene looking right.

Tyrant-D responds:

Mmmm haha funny meeting to you here, yes I was inspired by your pokemon hunter, but in no way could I relate to the art value of it. I wanted to make something purely of entertainment :)

As this "IS" my second flash :) theres still alot of things I need to improve on i.e smoke being a bunch of lines lol. Maybe I shouldn't have set myself a time limit :P and HAHA man yes steelix movements remind you of your own. I thought your steelix was flawless, and looked even more menacing than the original. I tried that path, It didn't come out how I liked it but, overall I was happy with the resulted steelix so really thanks (hope I don't breach your steelix infringment O_o XD

Hopefully in my next animation maybe next time I should focus a bit more on the art value rather than entertainment as I see alot of folks pick in that trend. Thanks for the review, remember I'm no graphic designer so I take this as a big compliment.

(Also hope our second pokemon animations do better than the first :)

[Day of the Madness]

text glitches....

you know you can fix those text glitches by just breaking them apart to their raw graphical format.... and you had a name of that guy floating in mid air despite the speech bubble disappearing

avoid the starcraft sound effects please. avoid using sounds that are established with their respective characters(starcraft zerg units)...how do I put this, its like making a cat bark.

wonder how come this is actually better than madness rising. anyway, good effort.

LittleLuckyLink responds:

I know I can, I actually went through the movie and broke quite a bit apart. There were some that tricked me though, for instance, I thought that "stencil" would have been on this computer.

[Hyperboy: Episode 5]

I first saw this on flashplayer.com...

and I'm wow'd on the sudden vast improvement in animation and art to it.

I dare say you did jump the shark in the graphics and art direction lol.

and the overall plot is still as funny as usual. good job

gene-goldstein responds:

Thanks man! I love your work! :D

[NG tales eps.01]

cute & fuzzy

it makes me feel like I'm watching a innocent version of newgrounds.

Foxpwned responds:

thanks for the review NCH!
is´t an honour getting 8 stars from you!
I hope that I can animate like you one day...
