Lathryn's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MonstrousByDesign - Linkin Park KRWLNG]

It's an alright cover video for Linkin Park. It's got some nice looks to it, albeit it being that some colors aren't the best, and that fire animation is beautiful. But, I don't like the rest of the animation. It's pretty clunky, and it has that feel that it lags. But, overall, it's got that humble feel to it. It could just be me, but hey, it's my review, I get to spout the truth on how I roll with things! But, yeah. It's nice in it's own way, but it's not entirely quality, because of the slightly sluggish animation. Except for that fire in around 1:02. That's some spiffy animation.

chizll responds:

Thank You. I really appreciate the feedback. If you look at the first version of this trailer you can see the difference for the initial vic walking towards john. I also improved the tail light trails for bike scenes and made the ending scene scrolling backgrounds smoother and figured out how to endlessly loop nested animation. I am learning... albeit slowly. Perhaps if I dialed the Framerate up from 25 to 30 it would be smoother overall? The only thing I can think to improve the animation is drawing more frames, but that requires a great deal more time. I actually wasn't planning on releasing this just yet, but since I found out yesterday that Chester died. I needed to do something to deal with the frustration I feel inside at having learnt of this tragedy. That aside Thank you Lathryn for taking the time to let me know your thoughts on this which is my passion and my pursuit.

[Madness Goreification]

You can't go wrong with this collab. This was absolutely marvelous, with it's name being all about gore, and we received blood. Beauty first, baby!!

Spaderz responds:

Love you~ <3

[Madness combat clips or somthing idk :D]

These were amazing clips that showed how much you improved since your first Madness Day. The earlier clips of 2016 are pretty clumsy, and very slow. Then, in 2017, you improved massively, and showed a lot of skill. The last few clips got my attention most of all. It showed true agility of a cold-blooded Madness Combatant, and the way he killed his opponents is phenomenal. Well done. Keep this up, and you might even rival Krinkles' abilities. Trust me, people did become as good as Krinkles with animating as well as he did, and you'll reach that level, I'm sure of it. Happy Madness Day!

Oh, and you got yourself a new fan. Keep tossing those vids at me, buddy! :)
I don't use emojies often. If you see me use one, ya done good, and ya didn't goof. Good show!

SampleT3xt responds:

Thank u so much :3

[Madness Reversion 2]

It's a great collab. The characters that were created in the animation is surely memorable from last years Madness Day, like VladClown's character, and animations from some of the Madness Day 2016 veterans, like MadnessWolf and kRyy. The good part of the animation is the quality and how well made everything is, with bullet tracing, and very realistic sounds. But, the part that bummed me out is that some clips aren't as fast-paced as the original Madness Combat, where it thrives more on realism. The speed that a madness character has to have to kill their victims should be increased, to my opinion, as it gives that shred of excitement in the animations, but not too fast, to the point where you don't get what's going on anymore. It's a bigger challenge that all of you great people can fulfill, I'm sure of it. Good luck on the next year, and future animations. Happy Madness Day 2017, and well done on this one.

CryNN responds:

Thanks for this constructive one! You really made me happy! <3

[Incident 2003]

Alright, I like the animation here, and the plot seemed easy to follow. However, I don't like it how the guards shot the main character point blank, and then miss all their shots. It's not really something I like to call realistic. For these things, you should try and cause the bullets to be trackable, like a line appears on the direction where the bullets are flying to, and finally, bullet holes in the walls, to show where they aimed at. But, still, you did nicely.

MadnessWolf responds:

Thx,m8

[Madness in Russia Pt. 3.5]

This is probably one of the best one's you've made so far. Aside from the confusing storyline, you surely did a charm on this one. The animation is smooth, and the sounds reminds me of being with my friends at school, watching Madness Cartoons. Ahh, those were the days.

MadnessWolf responds:

Thx dood.

[Return of the hole]

Voice acting is alright, the animation can go for a bit of work, but in the beginning, when the tree blinks about a bit, I can already say that it's a loop of its eyes blinking over and over again, that goes in repeat for a couple of seconds. Maybe try to give it for future animations different expressions to adjust the reactions of living beings. Most living characters, may it be human or not, is easily adapted to what a human would react to. The art could also use a bit more improvement, but it's okay. You did alright, except take some of these words to thought.

raNDumb80six responds:

Thank you. I kinda rushed it a bit. and forgot to try and hide loops a lil better , like the eyes. I had all the characters and sound and sorta drag and dropped it. A lil sloppy but, Right. I should try an go for quality . But this one was a bit of Quantity over quality

Also heres the first one i did.. *sound is crummy, sry. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/671994

[World Destroyer]

Woohoo! Another amazing series that I'll be able to binge watch here on Newgrounds, so that I can lay off the stress of school work. Which is great! Yay! Looking for ward to this! But, eh... Anyway, back to the review.

Animations are good, I like what you've done with the colors, the way you animated things, and how you handled all those beautiful effects. Music and sounds are also pretty damn nice. The best part is that it's very relatable to real life... Except for the whole demon coming from the sky and then destroying the whole place. Nice one! Keep this up!

Nominous responds:

Hey Lathryn, I appreciate your enthusiasm for World Destroyer. Thanks for the review

[Vampire Nazi Strippers From Outer Space]

This reminded me so much of the old dracula movie. You ever watch that one? Because this one... It's well done. Almost like a steak.

Animation is great, it has a significant amount of humor to it, and it's something that you can laugh about at work. It also has the nicest of effects with it, and it's just beautiful to look at. But, can't say the same with the voice. It's very fitting, but not too fitting. Too crackly, loud and obnoxious for such a movie. And that rated PG-13 ending is also pretty cool. But, yeah, well done, just fix up on the voice a tad.

PascalSchmidlin responds:

Thanks for the Feedback!

Never watched the old dracula movie, but older "short" films like A Trip to the Moon inspired the Style. I also tried to incorporate stills and photos in this Trailer, witch was really funn to do :)

[Strange Times]

It's creepy at best, and I don't officially think that this is actually rated E for everyone, but more rated T for teen, or even M for mature (Maybe? I don't know). Fire and a creepy baby laugh, along with what seems to be a communist or dictatorship-themed building is something that I don't call E for everyone. Do change that part.

Avonom responds:

Thanks for your comment! I do agree it could be higher classification like teenage... but there is nothing that stands out enough to make it another classification. Cheers
