Clayman2's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[I.E.S. ep.1]

Awesome.

This animation was completely flawless, and the humor was top notch. A very impressive part of this animation was the diversity in the humor. There were sight gags (I caught the Space Jam poster), puns, situational comedy, physical comedy and even the "family guy style flash back". Basically, there was something for everyone, mixed in with very stylistic, neat graphics and a very entertaining storyline. I'll definitely be watching out for part 2. If the series continues on like this, it'll be one of my favorite series on new grounds. Great work!

DeuceNine responds:

Thanks for the kind words (except for the Family Guy part, that was mean).

Much better then the first part..

After my last review, I felt obligated to tell you what i thought of this part.

This part was definitely better then the first. The pacing was less forced and it didn't seem to be progressing to slowly. The voice acting was better overall, but sometimes I couldn't figure out what some characters said, which was the case with the creator and the green demon. He said he was destroying him, said something I couldn't understand then regretted killing him.

Like I said before, the animation is very good, and the gestures are once again very good. I'll definitely be looking for what you do in the future, you've got a lot of potential.

BlakTornado responds:

Thank you! I really appreciate your reviews!

I have a feeling the audio problem may have been because of the low quality I had to export the movie at to get it on Newgrounds. Compared to the master copy, the sound is a lot tinnier in this version, which may have caused some problems. (Although, it may have just been my bad mixing in the first place)

Thank you so much for your reviews, and taking time to write them :)

Good, but needs improvement...

You're a good animator, there's no doubt. The animation was smooth and you seem to have hand gestures down pretty well.

However, the plot itself moved pretty slow and I only chuckled here or there. Maybe I didn't get the whole "spikes" gag, but it did vaguely remind me of a Knox short. (Not saying you've even seen it, just saying it's similar.) The voice acting didn't really help the progression, but I can't completely comment on the plot because I've yet to watch part two.

I did like the fact that you incorporated your real self into the movie, though. This wasn't a bad short, and the second part could very well redeem it. AS of now though, it wasn't your best short, and you have potential to produce something that outshines this by quite a bit. Good luck, hope I've helped in some way!

BlakTornado responds:

You're going to be disappointed :P lol

Thanks for the review, though. It was very helpful and was everything a review SHOULD be.

The only real thing I can say other than thanks is that, well, the humor wasn't really in this short because I wasn't intending for it to be a funny short; more of an actiony/sci-fi one.

I'll consider what you've said as I'm making my feature length :D thanks for the excellent review!

Good Work!

Hey Vodoo, ForteProductions here (animateclay) good work, didn't expect to see it here, voted 5!

Hey bud, thanks a lot!

Awsome First Movie

I rated this movie as I would someone's 89th or 100th movie, but if I was to rate it as a firtst-flash movie it would get all 10's. This movie overall was good, but as a first flash it was awsome. Much better than most of the people's first flash with little stickfigures that move like robots. If you keep this up and practice, you'll probably make some really good movies.

Pretty cool

I liked it. The graphics could have used a bit of improvement (I know that you know that already) but I liked the humor, espacially how the president kept on talking after his hhead fell off, and how oblivious the security guard was. Practice drawing and you can be a really good animator.

Sugary-Cupcakes responds:

i dont think ill ever draw good on a computer much less in real life but thanx for the words of criticm

[[Stop Motion] Elephant]

Ok for a beginner

I do claymation too, so I know that it's really hard to make a good claymation short. I kinda thought it was cruel that you burned that elephant, and no offense the main plot was fire, wich all though really cool, didn't hold my interest, as you know, horrible music, nice camrea you're using, but next time make an actual plot, you can go far if you do.

Geppetto responds:

thanks...
i'm still kind of in the learning stages i don't even have any props or anything i'm kinda wanting some clay / plastecine too all i have to work with now is a small ammount of blu-tac :P

but i'll get into plots soon. hopefully
