shrimpchris's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Papers]

This isn't too bad. I kind of like your style and I think that you could definitely make a series out of this with a bit of refinement.

The animation was good for the most part, but felt a little stiff at times (mostly the movement of papers). I liked the way you animated the cigarette. The movement of the cigarette was probably one of if not the most fluid moving thing here. (it did still feel a tad bit choppy though)

The facial expressions of papers were definitely good. I like how you managed to show how sad he was while still making it clear that he is an optimistic person. The lip sinc was decent as well, but I thought that the shapes his mouth made didn't always look right if you get what I mean. Like... His mouth looked like he was saying something different than what he was really saying.

The audio was good for the most part but, like the description says, squeakonia definitely has to go. I found it really annoying the first time I watched this. It wasn't so bad the second time, but it still bothered me. I liked the angry voice of the second dollar that papers had stolen from him. Its voice managed to be both funny and suiting. Papers had a great voice too. He sounded optimistic, yet broken and sad as well. Actually, he sounds like Bob from The Oblongs. Subtitles when the landlord was talking would've been nice too, but I was able to understand him, so no big deal.

As requested, here's the rest of your review that you sent me:

"The backgrounds were nice as well. The background when Papers got mugged was decent but I really liked the Background aroung his home.

Overall, I reallly liked this for the most partand I definitely thik you should continue this.

Also, while this did have a couple of slightly funny moments, I don't think it would count as a comedy movie in its current state. Too sad."

So, like several others, you would seem to agree that the overall work could use refinement and it's too depressing. I'm glad you enjoyed my cartoon, Thanks for your input.

[Wales and Gary]

Pretty funny.

Contrary to most of the other reviewers, I didn't really notice that Wales was shaped like the country until after I finished watching and read the reviews. I probably should've noticed that.

Anyways, the animation here is reallygood and there are a good number of small details in the background that make this flash look better like the atmosphere and the ceiling chunk. The only problem I have with it is that I feel like Gary the Senators (that IS the centaur guy, right?) mustache should've moved just a bit more when he talked.

The voice acting is really good as well and manages not to sound over the top or fake. I really like the voices here actually, did you do them yourself? Anyways, your choice of sound effects and voicesand whatnot were really good.

Well, I don't really have much else to say that wouldn't be repeating everyone else (like the aannoyingly abrupt ending), so I'll just leave you my score and be on my way. Goodjob.

[Scout is sick]

Wow. That was actually really good.

The animation was really good. I kind of wish it was in color, but it was still good.

The humor was actually decent as well and I think you did a good job of stitching the voice clips together without sounding weird. The lip sinc to the voices was really good as well and I think you can do some amazing things in the future.

I like how you made the red spy drive him to the doctor like he was his father. Great reference to the meet the spy video.

Overall, good video. I'm actually really impressed with the quality of this submission!

Thank you very much T^T no one has ever reviewed my work like yours.

It is really different here in new grounds. keep up on being a good critique over work of others. I really appreciate every word you have stated.

[Hamburger's Master Plan]

Actually kind of funny.

I'm not goint to lie, alot (most) clock crew movies don't really make me laugh at all, but I caught myself chuckle at this once or twice.

Even though there wasn't much actual animation, there were a few moments that had some fluid animation. I appreciated those moments, as they really stood out in a good way.

The intro was a little funny at first and then the song you used there made it great (20% cooler perhaps?) The song at the end was kind of ear rape-ish though.

All in all, not a terrible clock flash and I really liked the voice for bb10.

[Skyward Sword Countdown]

Okay Idea.

I think it's cool that you were nice enough to mak a timer for other people, but...
~Bad points
-It'll only be good fo a short time
-It's just a timer, nothing really makes it stand out
-What's gonna happen in the future when Skyward Sword does come out?
-The EXACT time people can pick it up varies for people around the world (time zones and slightly differing release dates)
-It might be better (and more suitable) with a relaxing background music and possibly a mute button
~Good points
-It serves it's purpose
-The text and art used is nice
-You were nice enough to do this for other fans (actually, I'll give you a six instead of a five because of this)

[The Worm Story]

Meh...

It was kinda funny at first, but got boring pretty fast.
-The worm animation was humorous, but you need to put more effort into it then 2 repeating frames.
-The "music" was prety suiting, but quickly got annoying and then quickly became aggravating.
-Overall very mediocre and not a very good attempt. You should keep working at it and eventually submit more down the road. Wait until you're ready though, no more crap.
