VicariousE's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lord of the Eggs]

Another Easter classic, yay!

[Don't Wanna Go To Work]

Well, nothing like a bit of raw honesty to perk up the viewer. What can you tell me about the picture you threw up before the end? Looked like my old place only nicer...

JordanKinsley responds:

Yes it is nice, it's a barn here in Denver. :)

[Knife To Meat You]

Very well done, plot makes sense to me, in fact it's rare to see one played out so well (in under 3 minutes). The scene with the butcher answering the door, was a nice way to work in his health problems, setting the stage for the ending, which is as solid as you can get. At first I thought the first scene of the store front, played a little long, but it was a good pace setter. Also liked the flowers in the dream sequence, was a good antithesis to the reality of the slaughter house.

HugoVRB responds:

Thank you very much for the great review.
It has been a while since I posted this so all I can see now are the mistakes.
Thanks for reminding me I actually spent a lot of time and effort in this animation. And everybody has to start somewhere.

I am glad you figured out the pacing and motives of everything. You have a good eye. Cheers!

[RugBrats]

Five stars for having a GF that liked to talk dirty, priceless.

deathink responds:

Hahaha

[The Sled Ride]

Yup, think you got the animation part right, audio was good too, it's all in the timing.

[The Phobia Collab]

Glad to see so many animators got involved with this project, well done all!

[OTB - Modern Express]

Damn, who knew Wiki had a list of shipwrecks? Kinda sad to read the Reuben James got blammed... My first thought was the vessel was transporting stellar matter amid ship, but no, something more sinister was afoot! Excellent work everyone! Foul or Fowl play, hmm...

RadioTubeClock responds:

That's right, i had forgotten that wiki has a good list as well! That being said I usually use gcaptain these days to keep up on nautical related news.

I totally missed the spelling on that, although I know I was listening to the Darkwing Duck video game soundtrack at some point while working on this and I recall the villain's organization being called 'FOWL', so perhaps there was something subliminal going on there.

Thanks for the review!

[Gaddafi Swag Loop 2016]

It's 2 loops and some mild padding at both ends, which makes it a well produced short, best seen at 1080 (at 720p the flying squares seem to pixelate everything around them; you always did test the limits of Swivel lol).

It's good to remember the truth is a 3 edged sword; your side, their side and in the middle, the facts as they are. At the time the US took him out, I recall there was a mini-media blitz, kinda like the one that got us into Iraq the second time. 5/5 for reminding the viewers here, that everyone has an agenda, but it's those who cause the most harm, that need to be held accountable.

As always, your animations are soupy smooth and full of heart, yet another reason for a 5/5, because right or wrong, at least you have an opinion that doesn't involve kiddie TV shows and their pseudo-sexy, pre-teen characters.

emily-youcis responds:

Yea, the quality got pretty raped, much better than youtube though.
And yes, 1080 P!
Thanks for the 5, Mista E : }

[TERRORIST!]

Nice little animation, good colors, pleasing characters. VA work was also solid and above par. All of which did an excellent job of sugar coating the joke(s).

As for the content, I thought it was fine and relevant. Okay, yeah, I'm a white guy and scared of being a minority, foreigners and such, but that doesn't mean I can't take a joke lol

[March of Progress]

I'm pretty impressed how well you did in all 3 software sets, the 3D work was sweet! I kept expecting to see the dark times at certain intervals, but I guess progress can be achieved from money and simple ambition, as well as from war and conflict.

You've got a lot of competition (in the Portal) today, but I really hope you'll walk away with Daily 1st for this piece!
