Lathryn's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Basic Income for the US]

I find this animation very educational and cleverly sculpted, for a stop-motion animation. Never mind those who call you socialist or communist, because equality isn't supposed to be based around those forms of government. From what history has thought us, communism is based around a one-party totalitarian state that do give equality to people based on paygrades, but people brush off the first part, which is that communists want to be in charge of people with a one-party state.

But, like I said, this is an incredibly educational video that should be appropriate to schools and such. Maybe I can send this to my former economics teacher, and she can think about it as well.

adamanimates responds:

I would be happy to hear what your economics teacher thinks!

There are a lot of misconceptions about both socialism and communism in the US. Socialism is simply worker's control of the means of production. There are lots of worker owned businesses without bosses in the States, and they tend to do just fine. Some democratically choose to divide wages equally, and some choose to make wages depend on other things, like how long you've worked there, or your particular skillset.

As for Communism, there are some that do want a top-down central planning approach (which sure had some problems in the USSR... it's pretty much impossible for a central authority to know what everyone needs at any given time) and there are also Anarchist-Communists who would rather democratic control of markets, with bottom-up decision making instead of central control.

I'm a pretty big slammer for things that are sewn, patched up with cloth, etc. This one brought my eyes full of beauty. However, the animation part can be just a little better, from my perspective. Once every while, the character seemed as if it was stuck on one frame. Give it maybe a bit more animation to the whole body. It's a bit more of a challenge to fix it up correctly, but I know you can do it!

edlink98 responds:

You're right, thanks for your opinion and help.
I did this animation in a hurry.

[drink responsibly]

It's a very interesting story, and the designs you made are also fantastic. But, I'm slightly blown off track by the voice. Just a bit. I don't really know how to improve in the voice, because I'm more of that "I know how to draw a guy extremely well!!" kind of guy. Maybe add a bit of ASMR to it? It keeps the popping in your mouth away, or that's what I heard. But, yeah. That's all that needs to be improved, add a bit more spiff to your tone. Other then that, you did beautifully.

Relachi responds:

I think I kinda get what you're saying, I will try something out. The next video will be uploaded in 2 weeks on my youtube channel, I would be happy if you could give me another feedback then :)

[The Tecs are Coming: Part 1]

The animation, characters and backgrounds are pretty fantastic. But, what knocked down the is the music that is being played in the background. It's nothing that I find very worthwhile, it's a loop of the same soundclip that lasts about 7 seconds, overlapped with a more irritating sound looping through it as well. You got a good amount of potential, but try to see if you can do anything about the background music.

FierceFun responds:

I agree.... it was a clip that I grabbed quickly.......

[SANIC Farces Alternate Trailer]

You have a ton of great potential here. I like the art, the animation you put up with, and it's just alright enough for me to think that it's something alright. Some parts of the animation, however, got me thinking that it's just a loop of character. And, it's really hard for me to say this, but dank memes don't really have much of a home here, probably because most animations that you'll see here are pretty much seriously done, with little to no meme-stuff. You got a ton of potential, but, just my opinion, you won't go very far when keeping up with dank memes here.

ConeZone responds:

Heya man, I appreciate the review, I always love feedback! I try to limit the "lolz dank memes" videos with original animations to not overdo it with a good thing haha, but I still need to hear it from time to time! :D I work hard on these cartoons and hearing you like the art means a lot to me, I love reviews and feedback, thanks for watching. Even getting a person to sit and watch one of these silly cartoons makes it worthwhile haha.

[Goals Animation]

I like the art you've put on here. Especially the lineart. You did pretty great, except the voice part. It's kind of off. Because, at some points, I see the mouth move, but hear the voice a split second later. The voice acting is also a slight bit stale. But, it's a great piece of work. If you can find an animator that can work on this, then it will be great. I hope to see it finished.

Hana55 responds:

i agree with u, thanks to the talented Jodie haha. yes hopefully i'll find an animator who is free to finish it cuz i really wanna finish this project. and thank you for ur comment!! ^_^

[current mix 1]

Hey, I like these tunes, man. But, to be fair and not to be rude, we do have a music channel for sweet stuff like this. Sorry, if this inconvenience you in any way.

h92o responds:

Well , just so you know I was making these things in the 90's with a mac2 and in the 80's in college with computer video equipment but now in the 2017 it is like no big thing .. at all - which is good in many ways... but --- lest my music still kinda new and works right? I guess :) thanks for taking time to comment --- most appreciated --

[Clash Royale Animation #1: PEKKA VS Mega Knight (EPIC PARODY)]

I like the animation and effort you put up with it, but I don't really enjoy the classic sounds from Clash Royale. Not that it brings flashbacks of Pekka Double Prince, but because it isn't very original.

OzwaldY responds:

Thanks you! I really appreciate your comment :D

[Cereza's Character Model Comparison]

I like the whole comparison of something new. I did read the description, and yes, you're right. It's not 100% completed. Hair physics don't really exist, and the eyes kind of feel unnatural to me. But, other than that, all the animations are way smoother, and less abrupt than Moviestorm. A fine piece of beauty :)

StrangeMotions responds:

Thank you for taking the time to check out our video, we're still working on hair physics and soft cloth for this project but we are happy with this characters eyes and don't plan to make any changes. But thanks again for sharing your opinion and checking out this short comparison video.

[Literally Hell Intro]

Yeah, you made it this time! Well done. Same thing with the last review, only without the spelling mistake. Yeah.

guitarrob responds:

Thank you so much. :)

Sorry that I didn’t get a chance to reply to your last review. I wanted to change it because of the spelling error that I made. :P

I’m glad you like my animation. I’ll try my best not to make any more spelling errors next time. ^^;
