Squinty's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Twisted Punch]

Wow

At first I thought it was going to be boring but this movie turned out to be quite epic. That last song was very well placed, and the character interactions were spot on. Good visuals too, I just wish you applied more detail to the trees. Otherwise 100% worth watching!

['The Great Gatsby' Teaser]

Pretty good

You actually managed to make the Great Gatspy seem minutely dramatic. Ah well, there's only one redeeming part about that book: "One thing's sure and nothing's surure, the rich get richer and the poor get... children."

[Robocop:001]

Totally sweet

Rastor image animation on newgrounds that dosn't suck? Always bending the rules, Jose :D

[Metal Gear Solid:Triple A]

Ehhh

I was planning on putting this MP3 into motion as well, and now i'd feel a little silly doing it. But take away the item in this movie you didn't make, what do we get? Unarticulated mouths that open and close in a repeating animation, regardless of what they're saying. Same goes for the sound level indicator. Snake's mouth didn't move. Essentially, when you use a brilliant MP3, your visual representation should do it justice. It just didn't happen here. As a matter of fact, maybe I will make my own version of this and see how it goes :P

[Big Green 1]

Pretty sweet.

Yes! I am please to see that you understand the importance of motion blurs in animation. It's really nice seeing it in action, pity it totally inflates the file size. Very nice work, very nice indeed.

[E-vengers 3 (Iraq)]

Pretty good.

E will solve all your problems, if by problems you mean having a brain that isn't dotted with holes like a sponge. Good animation :)

[What a crazy bitch! 2/2]

It's great

I love the main character, he's alot like Rocco from the Boondock Saints. Great style, great animation.

[RA171 - Symphony Battle]

It's not bad, but...

I think you've animated them to look "mature" because you didn't feel like altering those Poser 3D models too much. Cloud looks pretty ridiculous without exaggerated features. But all in all, it holds alot of promise for the future. It's nice to see more and more 3D animators recognizing Flash MX as a good presentation device :)

Those ones are the 1rst generation versions. I've finished a handful of the 2nd gen ones now. I usually do draw Mega and his friends more grown up looking. There are several pics at the bottom of my site to show them adult/cartoons. But true, I didn't go all out on the poser figure because after spending a few hours messing with magnets and making a few custom models I got lazy and said screw it and used them as is. Cinema 4D became more useful than Poser did though for animating/coloring the figures. Flash does do a good job of holding everything together though.

[The Void II]

I love you

BRILLIANT! Everything about this is astounding. It's cool how the indicated time on the clocks are mirrors of your own desktop time, I never thought i'd see someone implement that into an actual movie (I used to have that on my website).

[HP v2.0]

I will be fair this time...

...and give you a score based on what you were trying to achieve. You were obviously trying to recreate a scene from DBZ movie 10, and you did a fantastic job. I hope Raid is something you can call your own, or are you going to recreate Blade?
