Lathryn's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Animation | Splash - Episode 1: Red (Original Animated Series)]

It's an alright animation, it feels really smooth and all, and you can't complain about the background and the cool twist in the end either. But, the slimes are very pixelated around the edges. If you want an animation based of slimes and such, you need to make sure their looks have smooth outlines. This also goes for other things, for they also have the same pixelated lines to form them. Do take a look into that issue.

It isn't too bad. I like the colours you've put up with to make this animation, and the art you've created for your original character is the classic way of drawing anthropomorphic animals. It's simple, and efficient, which are the two golden rules of drawing something anthropomorphic.

However, I seem to miss a lot of animation in this one, besides your character sliding to the left every moment, while looking fabulous. Some parts are just stitched up pictures too, especially the beginning. Background could also use a bit of work. The end part doesn't really work too well on Newgrounds, however. But, you did alright. I'll keep an eye out on you, because you might be doing things quite well here.

[Let's Tube Together!]

It's something I can't complain about. It's nicely done, good colors, beautiful graphics, and it's just the kind of humor you'd ned in Newgrounds. The animation is also great, because you just gotta look at that finger poking that one guy, and you'll immediately say: "GREAT SCOTT! WHY IS THIS GUY NOT FAMOUS YET?" Eh, I don't know. I just, um... Hate the thumbnail. A bit.

STOOVRS responds:

thanks i made the thumbnail after studying everything that was wrong with youtube
okay fine i'll fix it
alright i fixed it maybe i don't know
it's just a screenshot but i kinda like it maybe

I can't really say anything bad about the animation. It's good, and pretty smooth. Shadows are also pretty well done. But, I still see little effort done in this animation. We're all getting a bit tired of the basic white background everyone's using. It's just too simplistic, and boring to look at. Please, add maybe a bit more background, and show that you made a much bigger effort on this one. Also, ambiance. Mmmm... Sweet sweet ambiance.

[Meme Wars - Blackmail Backfire]

I don't really give a single damn if this is propaganda on the 50th president America has to be ruled by, all that matters here is the animation. Good quality, smooth, lovable, nicely done. It's got great effects, good lighting, Smooth animation, and it's really nice to look at. Beautifully done.

[Hyper Light Drifter Fan Animation]

I find it pretty odd, except for the artstyle. If you look to it a bit more clearly, some parts feel more like animation gifs that was pasted in there. Also, that long intro with all the credits is best suggested to leave in the last few seconds of the animation. This might already bore the audience that are viewing the animation. So, let me recap: Good artstyle, a few parts are like animation gifs that loop about, and the long intro kind of deters people. Still, decently done.

RosesynHJ responds:

Thank you for the feedback! :)
As it is probably one of my first more finalized animation works, as generally I don't do much animation, I did use repeated frames quite a bit.
I didn't choose my music before doing the animation and had trouble shortening it down, so i had a bunch of space at the start with no animation, which is why i chose to make it how i did. But i realize now some ways I could have fixed or gone about this better. I do agree with you now that I think about it that it's probably better to have at the end.

Thanks!

[Nites Episode V - By Starlight]

Incredibly well made, and it feels so soft! The art... Ooooh, the glorious art! When I grow up, I want to draw things like you guys. But, anyway, it's extraordinary, smooth animation, sounds and music are very catchy. Great work on this one! Can't wait for the next episode!
