Lathryn's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Literally Hell Facebook Page]

It's amazing how demons still say "God!" In hell. Haha, you made me laugh, and it wasn't my own joke. Keep it up!

guitarrob responds:

Thanks. I'm glad you like my work. :)

The way I see it. There would still be a God if there is a Heaven and a Hell. Maybe the demons could use the term "God" in a ironic sense lol.

[Madness Target Collab]

Another impressive collab! But, I must say that you're ten months early for 2018 and three months late for 2017. Nah, just kidding, go ahead and make all the cool madness collabs. Don't let anyone stop you, cuz this right here, it's wonderful to see something like this! Frontpage guaranteed!

Grumpy666 responds:

THANKS MAN
Oh,its so nice to hear someones good reviews

[30 Seconds in The Wharf]

Best 30 Seconds of my life. Why? Because the animation is so nice and smooooooth that I can't stop smiling at something this honorable. But, there are some points that are still not good enough. The music especially. It distracts a bit, unfortunately. But, the way you draw is just spot on! Keep it up, m8!

Juyunseen responds:

Thanks for the high praise! This is only my 7th animation ever so they're only gonna get better from
Here!

[Talking About School]

I don't really see much in this one. The animation is simplistic and bland, the mic is bad quality, the background music is also quite annoying. People usually do these slice-of-life story animations without animation, and add flavor to it by adding effects, a large amount of different facial expressions and different scenarios into it. For example, one moment we're staring at your character in an empty space, and then all of a sudden, we find you in some sort of museum. You also need to do a bit more on the video and sound editing.

Your voice is also not very clear. I'm no sound expert, but you really gotta find a better mic or something that helps. Although I don't recommend buying the most expensive ones (yes, they're high quality microphones and all that, but that don't always make them the best), you should do something about it.

Next is that if you want to talk about a story or something, always attempt to prepare a script, so you wouldn't get stuck in between sentences. Many people actually write their script down and then read it while your voice is being recorded. Also, the reason storytellers don't use background audio is because they want their voice to be heard and clear (That's as far as I got when trying to figure out. Cut me some slack, pal).

Lastly, try to get your hands on a nice drawing program, like maybe Adobe Photoshop, Paint Tool SAI, Medibang Paint Pro. Pick your flavour! MSPaint isn't always a good choice to go for when drawing. It's so... Edgy and pixel-ish. If you want to go grab some animating stuff, you can go check Adobe Animate or Adobe Flash CS4-6. It's preferable not to use Adobe Illustrator, though. It is an art tool, yes, but Photoshop is something more for art most of the time. The difference? Illustrator uses vector lines,and Photsoshop uses pixels (Yes, I know I just said that MSPaint has a ton of pixels to it, but these are way more obscure. Sort of. It has resolution to it.)

IN SHORT: Try to edit your videos, fix your audio problems, make a decent script, and try to use some more favorable drawing programs. Paint Tool SAI and Adobe Photoshop CC are effective drawing tools if you have a drawing tablet.

Take these things into consideration when you make your next video. I like your determination, but try to fix these issues, and you'll get better quality videos.

GarrickAnimations responds:

I started changing my styles with these a while ago but this animation was made a few months ago

[Starbomb - "Book Of Nook" Music video]

For someone who's pretty new in this whole animation thing, you surely know what you're doing. Animation is beautiful, smooth, and lovable. Lyrics are awesome too. I can't wait to sing this in the train when I head home to shock the other passengers XD

KidLudens responds:

Thank you so much! I'm so grateful for the amount of knowledge, information & passion available online. I owe a lot of thanks to Zach Hadel (Psychicpebbles), Chris O'neil (OneyNG), Ross O'Donovan, Arin Hanson (Egoraptor) & RicePirate Mick for their knowledge, advice, encouragement & inspiration. I also really appreciate everyone who creates stuff because I have learned so much from observation & analysis of their work. Also, thank you so much for watching this. I really am grateful you took time out to check it out.

[Hoarding problems]

Alright, another impressive animations. It also shows so much propaganda to the other big boys in the whole animated story thing, like Odd-fellow (that's what I call The Odds1Out) and Laddi. Also, it's pretty relatable. I used to hoard all my old toys, even the ones that don't even work anymore.

Skarpantre responds:

Thanks, haha :D Yeah I love hiding easter eggs like thoose! Dang, well I only kept the better toys like Legos and Yu-gi-oh cards :D I didn't think this video would be so relatable, I thought only I was hoarding junk xD

[Frog Bits - Halloween Candy]

Pretty damn amazing, man! At this point, you should get to working in some big place like Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, or something. Because this really is awesome for all ages. Smooth, beautiful, and inspiring. Awesome job!

JoroZahariev responds:

Thank you so much, man! I put a lot of effort in these episodes and comments like this makes me wanna do more. Thank you so much :)

[Team Pi Adventures [Trailer]]

An impressive and very simplistic style of art, which really touches my soul. Smooth animation, very dramatic for a trailer, and it looks inconceivably well made. Can't wait to see the first episode!

Wondermeow responds:

Thank you, appreciate your feedback.

Kind regards,

[zQuest - End of Chapter 1]

I like the animation style. It reminds me so much of mspaintadventures. However, the story is something that doesn't make much sense to me, especially the ending. This one person tells Autumn that it's meaningless to change anything (Which, expecting from the story, that's just the classic villainous bravado), and then said that she will spare the main character for now without any reason whatsoever. next time, give a clear reason why the ultra powerful bad guy doesn't want to destroy the main character, but still, cleverly done.

scawful responds:

I appreciate the response, I was largely inspired by MSPaintAdventures and I think from all the work I put into the main animating process I kind of fudged the ending a bit, leaving it vague. However, your point is completely valid and has me thinking of changing the text at the end to make it clearer for future viewers.

[Apps for everything (parody)]

This is incredibly well made, actually. I like your art, even the spaceship is already enough to wow me. You did also make up a good point. If there will be an app for everything, it will kind of suck, to be honest. Maybe some day, there will be an app that is specifically made for everything. That'd be pretty cool and not cool at the same time. Also, love your voice! :)

Skarpantre responds:

Daw thank you so much for this comment :D Yeah I think this is my most well written video yet, I wish I can write more scripts like this :) Also thanks, I get so many positivity on my Hungarian accent, I was worried about it :D
