XarX's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Short: Christmas]

Floaty, weightless animation, the strobing gradient is extremely annoying. All in all not my cup of tea... but the music is good. Well... at least you got around to make a christmas card and you probably have people in mind who enjoy your style. However, I would like to see what you could do if you studied and applied the principles of animation and timing a little more.

AUSANFORD responds:

Thank you for your feedback.
I appreciate it!

[Demotivational Speaker]

The idea is pretty good and the style is not that bad either. I just wish it would have been paced a lot faster. Sometimes satire and jokes work best if you don't let much time to think about them.
Your lip shapes are fun to watch but actual motions seem to be going too fast and with no real weight. Play around with the exposure times of drawings a little more, leave some time to really see anticipation and the end of a motion. Keep working and practicing! Looking forward to more stuff...

urbfilms responds:

Thank you for the honest review. I'll try to add more weight and movement in my next animation.

[I'll See You in My Dreams]

Nicely done. Fun character design and cute animation that somehow catches the song very well. I love the background! It could have been even better with an actual little story evolving.

cecameron responds:

Thank you! I will work on story in the future.

[Harry Potter Epilogue]

The end made me grin.
Your timing is quite nice, but if you want to go the professional route with animation you need to construct the volume of your characters more carefully. Also some colors stand out a lot for no reason.
Keep on animating! :D

[Charlie the Unicorn]

Ah... yeah... okay... a bit from all

Yeah...
That was.. a very random story line.. and... it doesn´t look really animated for me but... well... its a nice style... crazy, but... quite good... Keep on working..
In some parts I like the humor in the movie in some parts not really, because ... hey you are better then have to use stupid annoying voices for a joke being funny.
Man, I can´t hear the name Charlie for the next days... *brr*
But nevertheless overall... worth for the frontpage.
