VicariousE's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[the xmas short (part 2)]

Very professional work, though I think the late submission, may impact the score in the short term... oh well, at least it's out on a holiday ;)

tylerghardin responds:

yeahhh i realize that. the whole late thing tore me up for a while but i've accepted it. and right? anyone who doesn't want to celebrate valentine's day can celebrate christmas!

[the xmas short (part 1)]

The production quality is outstanding, broadcast quality timing and script, very sponsor worthy.

tylerghardin responds:

thank you!

[Elf]

Best and most logical action sequence I've seen on NG in quite a while!

Ghosty22 responds:

Thanks! I like my fights to be gritty.

[chillphin 1]

Maybe if the production methods of this madness were explained in the author comments.... using a game console's mocap camera? Didn't catch any tearing on the model, so that's good...

At least it's very zen-like, though it unfortunately reminds me of porpoises and dolphins banging humans while they're on holiday... those bisexual buggers O_o

[Aeons of Raging Darkness]

Very excellent, well paced action. I hate to say it, but the main character looks like Tommy Wiseau from The Room :)

[Little Mac's Legacy]

Most pleasant thing I've seen all day!

[ANIME in a nutshell!]

IDK either, but I loved the cutouts and production techniques, even if the audio was volume crashing a bit (at least it was consistent quality). Let no frame go unwasted, have characters move around on a background, interact with items, have fires going, animals doing their thing... your work looks very promising!

[SS - Singularities]

While not as intensely informative or annotated as some of your previous works, it looks smoother and sounds a bit more easy going (a good thing).

Is quantum physics and general relativity, analogous to, science (man's understanding so far) and nature (what actually is)? I think the real dichotomy, is between 'what is', and 'what we think it to be'. So, how far can our (collective/collaborative) will change that natural reality? Can it really make our brains network across the globe, live to be hundreds of years old, and stand over 20 feet tall? Is it just a matter of setting aside a few hours of the day, to concentrate on an altered state of reality?

[The Click]

Very nicely done! Though the fight sequence didn't look reversed enough, and there wasn't any audio/visual cue, to signal when things were going forward again. Still, the point was made clear.... was wondering why the play arrow was facing the wrong way (unless your native language goes from right to left, I guess?)

libraken1016 responds:

the play button was made reversed as a hint for the video being played backward (a suggestion from my lecturer haha)
since it was my first animation so there might still be many improvements can be made and your comment means alot to me
thanks for the compliment =D

[Star wars Twerk]

Looks great at 1080, 720 and 360p! Can't believe you made all the critters from Star Wars bar look so good.
