calslater's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Swole Foods - 21]

You got me to chuckle. Well done lol

The style is REALLY unique. If you pushed it further, it be a really neat niche to carve out. Everyone would know it was yours. It would look a bit stronger if each pose was more appealing, and you incorporated the 12 principles into each tween.

Overall, really good. Nice finding something that's actually funny

[Evangelion the lost episode]

This is a really funny idea. Love how you captured the designs! How many times have you seen the show?

The execution could have been a lot stronger, and it would have helped the joke land. Especially the voice acting. Voice acting is probably the most important part of something like this.

Really enjoyed it! Looking forward to more.

Coolprinter responds:

I've seen eva 7 times.

[Interface | Episode 08]

I feel deeply, deeply uncomfortable. Cutting straight to emotion like that's an enviable skill.

Phenomenol(ogical)!

[Infinite Legends]

Agh. Six AM?

[Tiny Cop Cars]

Really cute. Simple but effective. Love the extra mile you went for the motion blur, and crash effects.

You could mess the with levels a bit to keep the images from strobing. In the shot where there getaway car hides behind the rest stop, the screen very clearly changes in lighting. That could be fixed.

The same zooming sound effects got really tedious when used over and over.

The blue background got a bit old. You could have maybe edited in a sunset, or a few more clouds or something to break it up.

jellyeyes responds:

Thanks, good points about video, I would love to hand over soundtrack job to someone else if I could in future.

[Don't leave your Pokemon alone]

Incredibly animated, clever, funny, and surprising. Keep it up!!

[kisses]

My heart. So simple, so effective. When I saw "Tom Law" I was blown away by how great you still are at being subtly powerful.

[Fatal Portrait]

REALLY solid twist on a classic idea. I appreciate how the two versions of each painting are subtly different but work on their own. I can imagine another victim coming it and seeing something completely different from the same portraits.

Technical issues-

Everything was too cluttered. Visual detail is nice as long as the viewer can always INSTANTLY tell where the subject of the shot is.

Her shadow was white when the lightning flashed? Her shadow would be darker (or the same) and everything around it would be white.

When the camera is supposed to be moving through the scene, it just looked like the background plate was getting bigger. To sell the illusion, make it subtler and put a fish eye effect on the image. That way the center and edges of the frame move closer to the speed at which they would move in camera footage or the human eye (the center of our vision is less warped than the corners). OR you could build the scene with 3D or 2.5D and use that as a reference.

[The Animated "Star Wars The Last Jedi" Reaction]

Really smooth animation! Nice character design and background art.

The comedic timing could use some work, though. As well as the voice acting.

From an animation standpoint, a lot of the motion seems unmotivated and overdone. The smoothness of the animation generally matters less than the performance as a whole. I'm sure it was great practice, though!

RemiRecklessCartoons responds:

Thank you! Yeah I agree that it's overdone but it's also because I wanted the character to feel uncofortable with his position. He can't really decide where he wants to end up because he's trying to figure out something nice to say. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!

[Star Wars: Death of Luke]

The character design is really strong, keep it up!

Everything around the character design is rushed and lazy. The animation was lazy, the backgrounds were lazy, and the story (?) wasn't very interesting. The opening crawl took up way too much time in such a short cartoon, and it wasn't even legible. Keep trying!
