MarcK's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Megaman Taunts]

The best part?

Everything in this animation emulates kirb very well.
Great job.

[Sweet Dreams, Timmy.]

Hmmm

damian hellstorm, lighten up.

I didn't expect that. awesome.

[Ecopoiesis]

Good

It's nice. Good visuals and all that. Dependance on flash gradients and filters are a bad thing though. I strongly recommend gradually going manual on these effects as you easily can. Good job though.

th1rt3en responds:

I usually don't go overboard on filters, but I felt I needed to use blurring where appropriate to separate the foreground and background. The filters were also the only way I could make the reentry look decent. But they were a quick way to do the planets' shadows, and the earth and moon were both dependent on color changing and a glow (sometimes unnecessary).

I'll have to disagree on the gradients, I felt they made the planets look better. The backgrounds could have used less gradients, but I'm not good enough with color yet, so they sort of made up for my lack of skill.

I agree that I should move away from overuse; this flash chugged on my computer at points as well. Thanks for the review.

Not bad.

The good parts were pretty good. I noticed coldreaver and studio nightbird having exceptional entries that blew the rest away, but that's the thing. The ones that were bad outweighed the ones that were good. There was annoying drawing, new2flash-looking sloppy brush drawing, no attention to anatomy, all of that, next to some very high quality drawing and animation. I feel bad for the ones who were great in this one because they seemed pulled down by the others.
Overall it wasn't bad. I liked it, as I said, there were good parts.

[The Creep]

Enjoyed it a lot.

You totally bombed the ending.
Gee, haven't seen that before. :P

Seriously though it deserves higher than a 3.1. You did well and I'm glad this was frontpaged so that I could see it.
Good luck in the competition!

[The Halloween Animation]

Eh.

The animation wasn't the best. I mean the whole thing looked like a detailed storyboard or animatic. The most animated part of everyone's bodies were the mouths and that was because if you didn't edit it among every frame it wouldn't make any sense. Even THEN you tween some images of the mouth. I'm sorry but it looked like the bare minimum was done. The drawing was good though. Style was not my cup of tea but still sufficient.
Good luck in the competition. ;o

[Two Minutes Of Terror Ep3]

Nice stuff

I enjoyed it greatly. This one isn't the best of the 3 I'd say.
I hope you do well in the competition.

[El Fin]

Wow.

This is the creator of 'Lychgate.'
I really hope this does well. I think it's underrated. The animation, the concept, the creepiness, all of it together is worth more than 4.10.
Good luck!

Pegosho responds:

thanks MarcK! I really liked your animation too, very surrealistic. Let's hope our animations get what they deserve if not we'll have to make an even better one and you know what, we are in the right track. Let keep it up. :)

[CW: Down to earth Pt1]

Amazing animation.

It's great animation overall. The story isn't amazing but it's fine. The narration at the beginning was kind of annoying. I think I've seen a narration like that in all of the few anime series I've seen. Overall I loved it. great job!

[Ghost Crush.]

Great!

A lot of good stuff in here, and deserving of 500 dorra.
But I think rambaral's definition of 'good' is the same as his definition of 'cute.' It isn't the best one but it's far from the worst.

Great job.
