VicariousE's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[OTB - Space]

Looks like the Indiana Jones way to traverse an interior distance, which normally would suffice... ah well, I guess the Jeffries tubes of Star Trek, trump Star Wars tech :3

Short but sweet, very detailed, perfect Edn, which kinda reminded me of The Day After (US version of The Threads)

RadioTubeClock responds:

That's a good way of thinking of it, I'm surprised the Star Wars universe hasn't come up with something more efficient.

[Gym of the Romantic Journey 5: Eggs in One Basket]

I'm a bit old for plots like this, but it seems to be broadcast quality work, all around. And hey, who doesn't like a good character study, steep odds, classic conflicts... okay, I'm hooked! Looking forward to new episodes!

[No Dice "Big Cold World" Animated Music Video.]

Looked a little rocky in close, but the wider action scenes seemed to be more fluid. What's the FPS on this, how many total frames/objects? Plenty of room for even more detail (to what's already there) and polish in this piece, so half a star off for that. But damn lol I'd say this was a pass ;)

This is your second submission here, congrats dude! I really appreciate all the hard work, style and detail you've been putting into your work... and I'm not going to be your only fan for long man, you'll see!

DevsRabit responds:

Yeah its very rocky, but this project was my chance to test out the new version of the bone tool in Flash CC. I only had 3 weeks to complete it, all while learning what I was doing (Mainly thanks to Draw with Jazza on youtube). Plus learning how walk cycles even work and all that, and I cant draw, so I had Animate sketches done by a buddy of mine. (I'm taking drawing class next semester.)

FPS is 24, 5440 total frames. I could have made it a lot cleaner, but I wanted it completed by the due date more then I wanted it all looking clean.

Yeah its my second submission here on new grounds, and really only the third animation ive ever done.

Thanks for the input, now that im done with my class, ill make sure my next submission is perfection, cause i have no time restraints.

Your last animation was uploaded here.. 8 years ago? Welcome back! I never read Naruto, but I remember seeing your work in the Portal. Very nice piece, groovy walk cycle :) Just seemed a bit flat in expression and pathos. As an aside; many wild animals will abandon their kids, if they even smell a hint of human skin oil on them.

It's good for what it is; a singular incident, simply animated, with lush backgrounds and a good ending. Held my attention for over a minute with no regrets.

Axxie responds:

Thanks for the wonderful review! Yeah it's most definitely been awhile for me, I'm relearning and working to improve my animation skills. I appreciate your thoughts!

[Star Wars : Lo Mein]

Damn I'm 15 years late with this review... hope I saw this after it came out, but I was usually more interested in the incoming Portal submissions, than the Front Page back then.

Still holds up exceptionally well! The script was certainly clever, though 'banthashit' would've been more appropriate over 'bullshit' lol The artwork isn't top notch, but it looks like time was spent on it, and that's makes up for a lot. Glad you're still with us Tormented-Soul!

[Epic Beard Man]

Thing is, velcro wasn't widely used in the late sixties/early seventies. Oh well, I guess that's a tip of the "this isn't real" hat to any haters out there. Addressing an African-American as a Negro was perfectly legit back then, though not long after Vietnam, Black was colloquially acceptable for the latter part of the 20th century. Well animated and paced, though I regret writing this review somehow

[No Evil 017: Direction]

Yeah, got a little expositional at first, but all else that followed flowed well, super work on the hand-language signing, as well as more gestures from the characters. Another well done cartoon, guess your work on Brother Swan, lent its self well to this series :)

[Crispy Corporate Reverse Birth Placenta Package]

Duuuuuuude. That kinda sums up my life: deeply depressing and subject to bleeding money profusely into the pockets of large multinational corporations. Excellent work on all fronts O_O

Not sure I feel better after watching it, but glad you're better now! I really hope the viewcount and score increase soon, seems an awful shame such hard work and vision are overlooked (plus it's Thanksgiving in America just now, so it's a big extended weekend)

jackthetrippr responds:

Thanks mate! Yes I'm really struggling with finding an audience. Even begged Mr Fulp to shove this on the front page for me...

[Pokemans the Movie 2]

vicariouse

[Contagious]

Well, no shit, a total thing in under 2 minutes, no homo 5/5
