GloineFiodh's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Arbolito]

Interesting story and the backing track is good but your animation is too shaky. You should try building your props out of something sturdier then clay so they don't move so much. For example, the table you used could easily be replaced by a small wooden structure that you glue to your base. This would prevent it moving around and also your fingerprints on it. Also, turn the frame rate up. It looks like you shot it on 3's maybe? Stop motion looks particularly poor if shot on anything less then 1's. Still nice to see someone rocking clay though! Keep going!

Thaiel responds:

Thankyou for the idea. Didn't think of sticking it to the floor.
I'm trying to find something better that clay. unfortunately, it seems there's none here in arg. I'll try to find hard child clay.
Apart from that. HOLY FUCK 1000 views from 290 in one day.

This is awesome

The intro was amazing, your characters were flawless and your animation was peanutbutter smooth. I love this. The punch line reveal was epic and caught me off guard, I never thought that something so bad ass could have such a humorous twist. I love that the detail you put into the War seen actually makes the joke. Amazing.

God DAMN

That was some godly animation man. I could really see the planning that went into this, practically flawless. Your drawings were awesome and the animation itself was wonderful. I particularly like that ending bit where the lights are flashing and the Doctor is coming closer and closer over his sadistic monologue. Your voice actors were spot on, the story flowed perfectly, the mix of humor and terror was a superb blend for fans of the sick and twisted. The idea in general is just hysterical, but the way you brought it to life was awesome. This is a gem, keep on coming with the original shit. Nice work.

[Eternal Love]

nice,

your animation was minimal, but it was well illustrated. The storytelling and audio was what impressed me the most, the twist at the end was revealed masterfully. I must ask, what is the name of the song you used? Very haunting.

Havelkin responds:

hey,Thanks..
the name is - Lamenta
is from X-Files OST , made by Mark Snow.. that song inspired me too..
(I give the credit to Marks Snow at the end screen :-))

yess

love traditional pencil drawing.
what do you animate on? is this actually pencil and paper and light box?
you rocking 1s or 2s? i love the idea and that first scene of the planet got me hard.
keep the pencil alive and well dude.

Weenog responds:

pencil, paper, lightbox, and the colorouring was done with photoshop and toons, practicly all of it is on 1ns and its about 370 drawings in total i think.
thanks for the review ^^

[The Beast Snacks 1]

wow..very cool.

okay, the pros. Awesome drawings, and sick animation. really consistent characters, dope creatures. just really good on the actual animation, except for a few perspective tweaks here and there, and a few jumpy run cycles. Cons, cliche as shit, and its a little overambitious for you. there were a few jaw dropping scenes though. i'd like to see you hone your talent a little more directly, and not have so much going on. but please, continue animating. If you really feel that this series is the way to go, do it. but i really agree with others when they say your kinda biting dbz's style. you have great drawings, so id like to see you develop your own style a bit more. all in all, draw more, in and out of flash so you acquire your own methods. great stuff dude.

awesome short

funny, good humor. good voice acting. Animation was good for what it was. and so were the drawings, but what i like most, is this actually made me laugh. Good writing. Keep up the good work man!

[TmsT's "Spy & Pyro"]

woot

great animation and story telling. You had really great poses on your characters, and they had great expressions. I loved the way the spy moved around in the beginning, very cool. Your frame by frame was flawless, my only gripe is your backgrounds were very low resolution which took me out of the element sometimes, but this was clearly an artistic choice seeing as you have no problem with drawing. Fabulous flash, lengthy, well written, good humor. Keep up the work.

[Chibi Awesome]

mad good

never saw chibi robo, but this was well made, my only gripe is you were a little too unoriginal and copied some of the things in metal gear awesome a little to blatantly, making it seem recycled. it sounds like you tried to copy egoraptors voices for those characters, instead of just having a funny voice. but your animations were solid, and thats what i like to see! good drawings too!

[The Pigpen]

sorry i know you have a lot of reviews

but stack this one on there. i absolutely love this. this flash is essentially flawless, except that your story telling abilities are a little skewed. Your animation is beautiful, and personally, thats what i care about most. My favorite animation was that tree that morphed into a human, than a hand with this gluttonous fatty characteristic. It was very smooth and fluid. Your characters were all drawn wonderfully and their movement seemed very jittery, which im sure you were going for. Aside from the physical animation, you had a really interesting set of characters that delivered the message. Your world created an extremely eerie setting of industrialism and waste that helped the message you were putting out there, and the imagery contributed to that strange feeling and all around atmosphere. My only complaint was that this story might be too vague for some, even though it appears you intended it to be that way. Regardless, you had a well established story from such a scarce amount of characters, and many scenes that will be remembered, whether it be because they were disturbing or because they were superbly animated. I can't believe I slept on this one while it was on the front page for so long. GREAT WORK.

ps. Do you animate on 1s or 2s mostly? It looked like you jumped around but i know some of that was on 1s.
