IIPhase's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rehab For Fictional Char.]

Listen it is not bland nor jerky

I give it a 10/10. It may not be perfectly animated... It may not be top notch.
Neither is south park american dad or the simpsons or futurama.
This has an exceptional quality. It Is genuine humor noir.
It makes you laugh and feel awkward at the same time in a subtle way.
The song itself has lyrics with strong and distinct language but because of that the characters express profound honesty about themselves. Without restrains.
In this way all their guards are down and it would be easy to ridicule them some more but that wouldn't add anything the misery they are already in.
Leaving the watcher with a laugh and an awkward feeling.

Speed in editing or fast past animation is something people are getting used to more and more but slower cutting gives room for expectation, anticipation.
Those are important feelings for tension building.
I for one was wondering what the next part in the song was going to be about.

The only thing i can say is keep at it!!!
Try to look for improvement in timing but not in making it faster just try and get the absolute spot on timing for the tension you build.

Another thing that might work is cutscenes to the faces of the others when one character is singing and revealing the bad stuff that is happening in his life!

Good job! Nice!

Thanks man!

[The Lost Gift Trailer]

making dreams possible

You just said that its not as good as Brackenwood.
But you are mistaking. Its just as good!
I tell you why:
1 Its another style
2 it shows you have mastered pretty much every technique there is
3 it is of feature length
4 you are persuing a dream
5 your dream is becoming reality

Comparing this with Brackenwood is like comparing Manga with pixar or Disney with Pokemon. These are style issues. Objective opinion you are allmost there.
Go one and complete it and it will surely get you somewhere!!!

I think in terms of quality for this movie and its size a 9 but because of doing the complete movie and making a feature it does not only takes talent it takes stamina and the will to complete a project and for that i 'll give you a 10!!!

Keramazotti responds:

Thank you for those word but I still am no mach for Adam Phillps. He inspires me ALOT but I have a long way there I must practice everyday for 8 hours for years...but Ill do my best to reach him and I d be glad for him to critic my work.

[Behind the Wall]

Nice

It's an ok style!!
But Its too slow. It gets boring to wait for all those dissolves. You are an good artist. But you should make your animations in flash that way it moves more i know that is hard to get the same styling but you have more than enough potential.
To create your own unique style in flash.
And beware of newground members because some of them are even hard and rude if you have really put an effort in..........

You will be one of the best in the near future!!!!

DonQuixote responds:

This piece isn't about motion -- it's about apathy, it's about lethargy, it's about sloth. To include any overt motion would have been to destroy the mood of the song.

[Mystic Island 2]

nice humor poor look

fun dialog poor look no effort in graphics.

GolemCC responds:

I put effort into those graphics! Sorry if they aren't as good as Final Task and such, but I did try!
