calslater's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[One Reality Over - [new management]]

Animation is really cute. Characters are clear. Not sure what the story was or the punchline was or what's going on, but it's cute.

albmoore responds:

Thanks! This is "episode" #11 in a series I've been doing and posting here. I'm keeping each one under 1 min to make them quicker to produce.

[House Of Whipcord E03 "Mega Juggernaut"]

I just found one of my new favorite things :o

I'll have to watch it a few times over pick out all the jokes and references. Similarly, the background is so jam-packed that the stiff animation actually works in your favor. The characters felt REAL. Like the occupied real space, where as with something like Family Guy or Regular Show (the closest things I could compare your visual style to) is so simplistic that it's all obviously a cartoon. Way to keep six feet ahead of the viewer at all times :)

Honestly can't think of any gripes. I really hope to see you go mainstream soon.

slugstudios responds:

Wow, thanks so much! That's exactly the effect we wanted to go with for the set - a place that feels cozy and inviting and really sucks you in with all the little details

[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.

[HOMOPHOBIC???]

Dumb, but I chuckled. The design is pretty good, and the short didn't last TOO much longer than it should have.

OblitusCS responds:

Yes I know, it is pretty dumb, the funny thing is that my girlfriend actually said that.
Glad you enjoyed it man. Thanks for letting me know. Happy new year!!!!

[The day-to-day life of the gnomes]

Step 1: Chop wood
Step 2: Mine Gold
Step 3: ????
Step 4: Profit
Step 5: Strip Club

(Seriously, though, cute/smooth animation and a story that's easy to sit through 3 times before deciding to write a review)

DesconhecidoJack responds:

thank you!

step 3 would be melting raw gold into bars

[Water Cooler]

There's a Fish in the Water Cooler, Charlie Brown!

Love it. Simple but effective. You got a lot of mileage out of the subtle sound effects.

The walls MAY be a bit too bare, but not a big problem. Were the lines done in Animate CC, or Photoshop?

Sketchead responds:

Photoshop! And I was trying to be minimalist with the backgrounds to simplify the style. Glad you love it! :)
