Although speedpaint videos have recently been.. sorta forbidden from the Movie Portal, this one was exceptionally well produced. Such video can be embedded into a users NG blog page, and contain all the links and context you'd like.

Animatics or animated slideshows of still art are accepted into the Movie Portal, and that's how I'm regarding this first submission.

Now that the bad noise is out of the way, wow, what wonderful technique and vision! Wishing you the best of luck with your not-so-humble comic book, it has all the hallmarks of greatness... as far as I can tell from the first few bits/pages

ACHotti responds:

Hey there.

Thanks a lot for the kind words and glad you like the movie. I appreciate the opportunity to embed this video on an NG bloc page and I would be more than happy to share links and other videos I produce if I am getting this right. Would it be ok to continue to submit the videos here?

Thank you so very much for the good wishes. Portals like NG are amazing resources for artists like myself and others.

All the best

Nah sry, seen worse, u delet... Hank coulda used more TX drawl/less speed in speech

Well played, got plenty of meat to this fake commercial. 'Dead' ringer for an irl infomercial, nothing extravagant, all about selling points. Artistry and lip synch was above par (for this site), nothing spectacular, but more than enough to hold interest. Most of the 4/5 rating goes to pacing and script.

Question of submitter/VA, did you also animate this? Best to list all credits and links in the Author Description. No one here minds YouTube, so long as it's not a direct shill lol, just wanna make sure everyone's mentioned :)

DasChad responds:

I did the animation, I submitted the credit for the VA he just hasn't confirmed/accepted it yet

Nice to see Bill Buck.. I mean, yea. Visually fine, but the content was a bit lacking, could've used a little more background on the guest and actual interview. Protagonist: meh, Antagonist: gibbe maor ebil details plz

It's a well told narrative that's based on the protagonist and Newgrounds, nuff said.

Well annotated, linear storytelling without all the hype and bullshit of most submissions.

Thank you for an honest, constructive, and 'not at all affected by certain groups' review.

Compelling, if a bit ass-backwards. Usually fart after eating eggs.. hey maybe there's a moral here, like pre-farting cooked eggs prevents gas after eating, or is there a deeper meaning?

Food for thought, no pun intended, rly

Between Ace Ventura and Max Headroom, there's this 21st analog. It's ok.

Good take on a bad reality, impressed w/ the character animation and flow, could've used some backgrounds on the cutscene exterior shots... but wtf, hands are numb from the cold, trying to avoid bingewatching some series I loved back in better times...

Nice short, good pace and variety of action, shudder to think if this was scripted out to 4 minutes; mayhem, blood, blue digits, frozen interior windshields and pre-pubescent suicidal coco addicts running amok

MatthewLemons responds:

As someone who loathes the winter, I would not mind a feature film where 2 dudes trash the entire winter season.

Hell is hell, looping of the audio does more to reinforce the misery than the scene. Extra star for... documenting retail hell, and still being sentient enough to put this together. If you got room for an extra tag, 'loop'.. if not, next time eh?

As a sec of the interior once said to my ancestors, 'endeavor to persevere'

Decent review, animations are kinda canned, but it's an 'in' to Newgrounds, as is the subject matter... no worries there. Decent production values, though asides like the cat intermission, look like (well produced) time padding, and offer no content to the subject matter at hand - adding extra text info would've been welcome. Guys like stats, like how many sold per continent, price (then and now), price used/new today......

I had a (gold series) Popeye, could not figure out wtf they wanted me to do, likely some convoluted linear series of actions. Kinda recall the folded glossy paper/manual being of some help, but was likely badly translated... was damn near 40 yrs ago. Also recall the batteries holding up well, but not against the cold waiting for the school bus - liquid crystal froze, killing a fair number of icons, making it even harder to complete

JComX responds:

Thank you for your feedback! I'll try to add more stats! I would have liked to, but it's hard to come by concrete numbers for these things, cuz Nintendo wasn't as popular back in the day, so they weren't tracking the numbers as meticulously.
That's so cool that you had a Popeye Game & Watch! It's unfortunate that they are so sensitive to cold and heat and stuff. Shame it got ruined.
As for the animation, I draw every new frame without recycling, so it doesn't look cheap, but animating the whole thing smoothly would take up more time than I have, if I want to produce them consistently. I will keep trying to improve though! Thanks for your thoughts!
