Tyguy80s's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Why I quit School]

Fine presentation. You parodied that advertisements/draw my life episodes perfectly :) I personally think you overused the profanity a little, but that's probably just down to personal tastes.

How I feel about the topic... In Florida, every citizen's legally obligated to complete grade schooling up until the age of 16, then which it's up to the consent of both the child and the parent/guardian. I agree with this system. It follows your philosophy to a point, you do need to learn to read, write, count, and critically think. After my sophomore year in high school, the only useful things I was taught was that Edgar Allan Poe was a great storyteller, and how to set-up a bank account and what the different kinds of investment are... this was called "Advanced Algebra w/ Financial Applications".

Good show overall. College or University only makes sense for those seeking a particular profession.

[Optimistic Stick Man Tries Parkour]

The body movements are fine, but the head's constantly changing shape and size. Something to look out for when doing frame-by-frame animation. Without sound effects or music, the movie feels bland and rather lifeless. Also, the last frame was that supposed to be a "the end" slide.

If you added sound and/or music this'd be tons better. Perhaps a credits scene or a simple "the end" would help. The frame-by frame animation felt fine, but that constantly changing head shape/size was off-putting. Keep practicing, you'll improve with time :)

[Dog in the restaurant]

Poor choice of body language. Ha! Great work here; Thanks for sharing :)

[Game Grumps Animated: Dick Punch (Ft. Broken Scouter]

I don't mind the lack of movement, that's a legitimate animation style. The caricatures aren't recognizable without the Game Grumps voices. Not the art style itself, but the facial features and their bodies. That's seriously bringing the quality down. If the characters looked more accurate, then this cartoon would've been fine. Thanks for sharing, and keep practicing, you'll make some cool stuff in the future for sure.

questionablecontent responds:

Thanks for the criticism.
will definitely take it into consideration,

[Drag Mobile]

I can see the effort put into this. Perhaps stop motion isn't my style., but it seems kinda corny. This movie leaves more to be desired. Look up "The Animator's Survival Guide", and some of the tutorials on YouTube and here on NG. I'm sure you can do better. Nonetheless, thanks for sharing ZPJStuff

[job interview]

Fine material here. Thanks for sharing! The animation's clean and crisp. Some ways to improve this cartoon though. A bit hard to understand the dialogue, maybe some captions/subtitles would help. If I got this right, the plot was in Nigeria, commercial corruption or infrastructure within the workplace? Something about Nigerian government?

Speaking of voice acting, not sure what audio program you use, but if possible look for a "Noise/Fuzz Removal" feature. I hear a faint drone noise in each dialogue which makes this cartoon seem more amateur try Googling for "Audacity Software". It's a free but very elaborate and useful software that has that noise removal filter feature.

Greetings from America. I would rate higher if I really understood the plot, but I could not due the mix of dialect and background noise in the dialogue. Nevertheless, this is a good addition to Newgrounds and please keep sharing :)

chubbyswit responds:

Thanks, I'm so happy for the critique. I'm an amateur in animation and I'm also trying to improve everyday. I used audacity for the voice recording. I'm still working my way around sound editing and hopefully will get better with time. Thank you so much

[padoru annie]

Not sure if the voice over's from an actual anime. Cute video and the animation style simple but fitting. Keep practicing, you'll definitely be making some cool toons in due time!

Rio07 responds:

Thanks! :)
actually im practicing with more stuff!

[Random animation thing pls]

Ah, reminiscent of the Xiao Xiao cartoons of yester-year :) What's killing it is two things. The character movements are rigid; Google a book called "The Animator's Survival Guide" it'll help tons and browse NG's archive for flash tutorials. Also, the ending's abrupt. He pulls the scythe and vanishes? It's lackluster due to the lack of music.

Consider adding more. For example, why exactly is the protagonist hunting these men and who are the enemy men to begin with? Even without dialogue or music, you could begin the animation with a intro scene that explains the reason for the violence.

Keep practicing, I'm sure you'll get there in due time. Thanks for sharing.

KennenReady responds:

Thank you very much

[RodCaster Voice Acting Rewind 2017]

You're a fine amateur voice actor! I think Johnny Frost needed more gristly vocals and the "sassy black girl" for Sato probably just needs practice. When you do Sato, I'm not totally immersed like when you do the other characters in the reel. Great work otherwise, and thanks for sharing!

RodCaster responds:

Thank you so much on your feedback. These are some of the projects i've done over the year of 2017. What i've shown are some of my earliest works. I want to post my demo reel on here soon.

[Raccoon's Arrival]

The image quality is lovely. The plot's got a giggle in there. Personally though, I found this overall a bit boring. Maybe some voice acting and more dynamic animation; more than just jumping up and down. Nonetheless, thanks for sharing and keep honing your crafts :)
