HowardWimshurst's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Hungah Gayums]

thats some good shit. Better than what I could make dont get me wrong. Just the phonetic spelling jokes are a bit ... stale? yeah try and write some proper jokes in there, it might make it better. If you disagree then i can name many many many animations that rely on them.
Good animation tho i gave it stars congrats.

[Opium Cop]

wow you work really fast!
in fact you should make a tutorial

[Lazy Writing 6]

love the animations. The way you make jokes is far more imaginative than most comedy animators on newgrounds so you should be proud of that. Honestly i dont know how you get these ideas. The end line was hilarious.

[TIMELESS (NATA '12)]

That was awesome man.
The style reminds me of dexter's lab but the story and the way you brought it across with the visuals was so powerful. This is obviously one of the best submissions for the first round!

[Out of TIme (NATA)]

This is good! I liked it so much I wrote a review!
For most of it i found the storyline weak because you used the same "stumbled upon a time traveling device" that almoast every other contestant used (im guilty of that too). But then you pulled it around at the end to make it like a time loop which I thought was quite clever.

The thing that stood out to me the most was the music. Im impressed that you made your own music to go with it and that you actually tailored it to the mood of what was going on. I admire that. And it sounded good!

For the animation and art it was clear that you did not have time to complete most parts to their potential but thats not a problem. I liked how you animated him getting up off the ground- I thought it looked natural and also when he turns to face the Lorry. Also bits that stood out to me where when the birds left the trees and of corse the portal effects where great. Walk and run cycles are the hardest things to get right and it just takes practice and careful observation. When the view was between his legs when he finds the device the feet seem to be facing inwards a bit too much and the time between each step was a tiny bit too long (some may disagree). Also when he was being chased his steps appeared to mimick the dinosaur's steps which didnt seem right to me. I do see what you where going for with the dinosaur leaning forward and him leaning back.

I also thought you used blurring effects well clearly showing the focus of each view. That was nice. Also nice consistent lines to your drawing.
Thats about it! WOW longest review ive ever written!

[Quantum Freezer Theory]

Dam thats well animated. Good Job.

TravelSizedLions responds:

Thanks. Your stuff's awesome, too.

[Fighting area]

that was some hot sh*t

This has been scored too low if you ask me. You have some frankly awesome moves.
1: add sound effects and good music
2:upload to a stick website like stickpage or fluid anims (this is not an advertisement theyre just the examples i could think of) where it will be appreciated more.
good job.

[2 Guys & a Jigsaw Puzzle]

great job

I like this analogy a lot, and your right its ignorant people like ninja thumb who mess everything up for everyone. We would live in a much better world if Christianity and other religions did not exist at all. I laughed at ninja thumbs response because he just seems to be looking for an argument on the creation theory and has no care in the world about the quality of the flash (story line, animation quality, voice acting, concept). This amuses me. I think you will come across a lot of these angry religious people when on the topic of religion, but it is still ridiculous to rate a flash down because it is controversial.
By the way I thought the overall quality was excellent and it was a nice story.

[SNAPSHOT: Vol 1]

looking forward to episode 2!

the main character was really cool and reminds me of a lot of anime characters.
the whole thing was a consistent 9 until the part with the revolver on string and that made it a 10, I was blown away by that part it was soooo cool!
It had many familiar elements but it had fresh and inventive choreography and effects. Give yourself a pat on the back!

[Epic Food Fall]

I expected better

half of the animation had no sound at all. This made everything less dynamic.
you really need to work on your walk cycles. They're embarrassing.
I know it's your style but why draw all of the characters with massive over sized pupils. Is it to make them look cute? I think it is quite a childish look.
the story was fairly hard to understand as there as no dialogue.
the animation was consistent and slow moving and quite basic. You should change the rotation of the can falling so that there is no ease on the motion tween. The background was basic but well lighted.
I expected better from someone who reviews animations with such high standards.
Hope this review helped you and have a nice day:PP
P.S. It's ok to use linear and radial gradient in moderation

MihaP responds:

Thanks for the review. Btw there is sound trough all animation:P. Childish look LOL. People like to see unrealistic characters it makes stuff more interesting. But anyways thanks for review and have a nice day:PP
