LuckyDee's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gus and Gary: Almost the Weekend Ep 10]

Love this concept, two half-baked evil minions going through typical office issues (we've all had a co-worker who only counted off the days to the weekend at some point, thanks for the motivation, Fred). Visually speaking, the setting is pretty spot on as well, but the end result is too static to be convincing. There's no (subtle) movement of the characters heads or other body language when they're speaking (or listening), and the voice acting veers toward monotone at points where it should be more passionate. If you can use these two tools to better support your story, you have a killer concept on your hands.

NorthStream responds:

Hi there thanks for the input. Its a fun concept to work with. Some time after making this episode (I think in November) I started using video reference. My goal it not too have movie standards of animation but rather more tv standards of animation as these differ greatly because of budget and time which is what I am working towards improving. Thanks again

[Civil War The Remakeboot]

This is the MCU I'd watch

[PawPaw Greg's Professional Voice and Others]

Seems like you made the right choice chasing your dream. Keep up this level of work and I'm pretty sure you'll be picked up on sooner rather than later.

PawPawGreg responds:

Most appreciated... seems work has slowed down. :-( I'm also unemployed at the moment

[HOUSE - THE OFFICIAL TRAILER]

This looks really disturbing <3

[Rollie and the Doodles (Pilot episode)]

Nice integration of both media. Is the camera displacement from shot to shot intentional? I think it's a bit distracting. Other than that, quite some potential here.

Drews-Cartewns responds:

Hey Thanks! Yeah the displacement wasn’t intentional, but I tried to slightly move it as Rollie was backing up, kinda like a tracking motion. I had a difficult time trying to stabilize the camera, (probably because I filmed it on my bed, and with my smartphone)
But in the videos since I have been using my tablet, and a table which seems to work a bit better. I’ll be sure to share it sometime soon, once I get permission. (they feature some of my artist friends.) Thanks for the feedback! I still need some practice of course, so your critique is very much appreciated!😁

Edit: I think I wanted to try to simulate a home video camcorder with the shaking, because I moved my animated sona along with it, but I can see what you mean by how it can be distracting. 👍

[A Social Justice Future ep2: Zero Tolerance]

This is awesome! Has a bit of a Bob's Burgers vibe to it, which I'm a huge fan of. If you're ever in need of additional voices, I'd be honored - see demo stuff in my audio posts. Either way, I hope you keep making these <3

[Desiderium]

Very moving. Awesome combination of visuals, sound and music.

SealOfTheParty responds:

Thank you!

[Rise And Shine...]

If Postal 3 were made with the Fallout 3 engine...

AntiDanty responds:

true

[Daily Grind]

The animation is pretty ok, but the dialogue is just plain awesome
