MistyE's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pikmin Tree]

the frame-by-frame animation is really good. it's obvious put a lot of time and effort into it. there isn't really much more to say other than, keep up the good work.

[LEGO 85th Battalion (OLD)]

"It's certainly better than LEGO Land, heh."

I definitely agree here.
I enjoyed this; it was fun to watch. The only things I can see wrong with it are all things you're well aware of by now, but I'll list them anyway: blurry camera quality and choppy movement.

It's still pretty good, though!

artistunknown responds:

Yep. It's still surprising that this is from around the same time as LEGO Land, since there's actual writing that isn't that bad. Heh, there have been so many things written for the 85th Battalion, just none of them made. I don't even know where this was going. Thanks for the review!

[Boring Co. Ad 1]

I think this is a neat little ad. It's short, and to the point, though it's a little too vague for me. I think it'd be better if it revealed more about the series, so that new viewers instantly know what it's about just from watching the ad.

artistunknown responds:

Yeah, this is very vague. That's more than likely because at the time I had no idea what Boring Co. was going to be about other than Mr. Krabs owning a company, so not really much of the series to show. The 2nd ad is a lot better and actually shows a bit of how the series will feel, but that's not done yet :3. Thanks for the review!

[FMTS 4 Sneak Peek]

There isn't much to comment on about this, but you did a good job since you didn't reveal too much of the episode's plot, yet you revealed enough to interest the viewer.

The sound quality is good and the file size is very small, which is a huge plus.

I always liked how Wise Frog was roasting a marshmallow in this scene. It's a nice little gag.

artistunknown responds:

Holy shit, this has a review now. But yeah, I really like this scene and always thought it was humorous, which is probably why I chose it as a sneak peek. Another gag in this is how the oil for the um "car" is white, heh. Thanks for the review!

[ME: Animated Header]

As a flash, it's too simple, but as a header, it's good - I like animated headers.

artistunknown responds:

Woo a 6 out of 10, that's better than half! Are you just reviewing everything of mine that you haven't reviewed yet? But yeah, thanks for the review :3

[The Dot.com Collapse]

It's refreshing to see an informational video on Newgrounds.

You did a good job on the 'educational' aspect of it, and you presented the information in a way that it didn't drag. I liked your use of background music throughout the entire "documentary." I'd say the best part of it was obviously in the beginning, since it was animated.

The animation that was in this was pretty good, though there's one thing I have to nitpick. 0:56 - the 'economy' falling down didn't fall down immediately after the shot, and the animation of it falling down should have been quicker. This may just be me nitpicking, though I personally found it very noticeable; actions like that have to be animated on ones, though I understand that you were short on time when making this.

For what it is - an educational presentation - I'd say it's very entertaining. It's rare that I see any educational presentations with any entertainment value. One of the big pros of this is that since it's entertaining, the information being taught might stick to the viewer's mind, if that makes sense.

artistunknown responds:

While I do blame any wrong looking animation on my limited amount of time, it's not really an excuse since I could have polished it up before posting it online, but I didn't. I'm glad you liked my overall presentation, I really only had a little bit of time to plan it out, as most of the time was spent researching and actually putting the thing together. And yeah, I totally agree with information sticking better if it's presented in an entertaining way. I always try to be entertaining with my educational stuff, even if I have to resort to lame puns. Thanks for the review and I'm glad you liked it!

[FrogMan the Series Episode 1]

a good start.

The animation, as you know, is choppy, though the writing and pacing of it is great.

artistunknown responds:

So ya finally review the first episode, eh? Why the fuck was I not notified of this?! Ah well. Yep, the animation is pretty sub par in this, and it's amazing how far I've come since then. I'm not sure if I dislike this one or episode 4 more, probably this one just because episode 4 at least looks pretty :3. Thanks for the review!

[Mythmas]

I really enjoyed this. All of the animation here is very good, and really smooth. One thing I really liked about this was how each part was fully animated. Everything moves so smoothly, and it looks really nice and impressive. Also, I must give you some serious props for animating that crowd so well. That takes skill.

Great job!

brynimation responds:

Thanks matey! You have no idea how much that sort of comment means to me!
Thank you so much for making my day infinitely better!
THANK YOU!!
Bryn.

[ZAHTAS: Letter]

The humor was pretty good, though the execution could have been done better, in my opinion.

One of the main issues I had with this is that while the letter is being read out loud, the reader could easily read ahead, and it could spoil/ruin some of the jokes; for example, when it says "I'm so sorry I slept with your dad," the viewer could read ahead, so I think it'd be better if that part is only visible after he said it.

The voice acting was very good, I liked it a lot.
I can see that you chose to use proper lip syncing in the beginning, though towards the end, there was this two-drawing mouth loop being used. I can definitely understand if you don't want to do proper lip syncing since it takes a lot of time, so if you choose not to do that, then my advice for you would be to make the mouth loops more complex.
