TheBoogley's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ducks in a Row]

Get yourself a lipsync chart :-)

I didn't mind this, and I don't mind simple animation, as long as everything moves effectively. In yours everything was a little lifeless, and a large part of it was due to the fact that you hadn't used "ease in" or "ease out" in your tweens and the fact that the singers lips didn't move in a fashion remotely related to the lyrics. Lipsync is actually really easy, find yourself a tutorial and you'll see what I mean. You only need 9 mouth shapes to get a perfect lipsync. Send me a private message if you want me to help you out with it.
Other than these technical things, the movie is good, little kids will like it and I'm sure your friend is very happy with it.

DashHam responds:

Thanks for the constructive criticism. I'll take you up on the lypsync resources. I kind of intentionally didn't bother with too much syncing, because I figured most people, and kids especially, wouldn't notice. In this forum, of course, people do. And, you're right, it would be better if properly synced. As for the easing of tweens, I was more concerned with getting things on and off the screen in time, but I guess that might help some, too. Thanks again.

Kicking a baby is not a punch line...

Well, it can be... If it's funny. This wasn't. It seemed to be building up to something, then nothing really happened. The tweening worked well and the banjo sounds were cool, you have the skills. Make something funny.

BoozeBitch responds:

The tweening was the downfall. Didn't feel like animating frame by frame. This only took me an hour while I was watching T.V.

And, dude, kicking a baby is ALWAYS a punchline. I will now kick a baby in everything.

[Office Spider: Episode 7]

I love it David!

The other two reviewers gave you 1 star, that means they liked it just a little bit.

David responds:

Thanks!!!!

[Sterner Steel]

NoOOooooOOoo!

Great work! I don't know what else to say. Its a bit rough around the edges, but that's where a lot of it's charm comes from. I loved the animation of the gun shots from the robot's canon!

jesmarlesmar responds:

thanx your review means a lot !!
btw... i saw your "like a duck" animation, that was excelent animation i really liked it.. I'm trying some pure frame by frame myself lately.

[A Tribute To George]

Someone needs a hug

You alright there fella... something wrong... got a little rage... hmm? Well... I like george... he's really nice... and he lets me do the stabbing when i'm good...

MAKE MORE!!! I WILL WATCH!!!

MB6X3 responds:

hahaha. its not my character. but i may be making more with mcsqueegee soon.

[Stick and Stick Episode 2]

Come up with an Idea first

Here's the best bit of advice I can offer you. Come up with an idea first, then start drawing. Stick figures can be awsome, their not the problem. The problem is you have two characters looking at each other saying, "what do you wanna do?", "I don't know what do you wanna do?" I think if you get an idea of some sort then get stuck in you cant go wrong!

Lost-Wisdom responds:

At least it was better than episode 1, but yeah, your generally right. I'll get a better idea next episode.

[Stick and Stick Episode 1]

Put in some more time

This is it's current state is hard to watch, I reckon you should spend time on smoothing things out so we can follow the action, maybe lower the frame rate. Crusty stick figures and ideas off the top of your head are great, it seems like something pis funny i around the corner...

Lost-Wisdom responds:

Yeah, I know what you mean. I just noticed too that my frame rate was a bit too high. I guess I'll lower it to 15 fps.

Thanks for the review.
