ZekeySpaceyLizard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A *Hyperanimation! X-Mas]

okay what

i reviewed this before
and you deleted the whole dang flash to just fix an easter egg?

you KNOW you can just swap the .swf files, right?

anyway, imma just copy-paste the one i left before:

"very nice"

"good staging of your shots.
it never got too visually confusing.

you used two different styles of animation in here. and i think when you do your pose-to-pose stuff (like the shot when they are in the sleigh right after they beaned frosty the snowman in the head) looked SOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the parts where you made the characters out of symbols and tried to slide em around to simulate movement.
but you did a bit more pose-to-pose than the symboled animation, so good for that.

also those lightning bolts of green at the beginning looked cool.
you should try doing more effects animation. (smoke, dust, lasers, fire, water, etc) cause i think you'd be quite gewd at it."

alrighty.

JunkFoodKing responds:

Oh, shit. You can SWAP THEM?! When the fuck did they add that feature?! Sorry t make you review it twice. Now I know.

["Bones" - The Killers]

mixed bag

you draw in a cute way, but I was expecting a bit more.
and I dont mean the fact thats its unfinished.

the lip-sync was off in alot of parts.
and the tankman and clock seemed really out of place. like they were tossed in there just to go "hey guys a newgrounds reference cool right?"

everything else was cute.

but man when you say unfinished you really meant it. you barely got like 1/5th of the song animated.

this seems like the sort of thing you probably should have sent the unfinished fla to another artist and made it into some sort of collab.

oh well

Penboy responds:

Hah, yeah that's basically what the NG things were for. thanks

[FC Tells Da Truth]

wow

I like how his beard and mustache were like some sort of bloated sacks that drooped out of his nose. sick yet awesome.

coca cola would be proud

Catoblepas responds:

cockacola

W-P-S responds:

MERRY CHRISTMAS

[Boogley Bus Stop]

aww what a lovely short

I never see crane shots done in flash. or animation usually. mainly because it requires not only animating the characters but the backrounds and everything else in the shot.
but you did it TWICE.

and actually everything in this looked and moved so smooth and fantastically.
and there was an odd innocence to the story.

and the color schemes made it seem like a giant moving chalk drawing with the pastel colors.

honestly the only thing in this that seemed off was the voice work. the bear/pig things laughter sounded like it was coming out of a bucket.

also for dinner tonight you should have burritos.

TheBoogley responds:

Thanks Zekey, I've been loving watching your you-tube selections.

Tonight I'm going to have spaghetti bolognese, but then I'll add some chilli to the leftovers tomorrow night to make burritos. Diabolical genious?

[Panda Fight]

incredible

I recall one of the first times I ever tried to do traditional animation was on a cartoon about pandas as well.

But this is way different. Nonstop chaos and wonderful shots for each little bit of action.

And the scribbly art style suits it perfectly. It makes this thing look like a giant animated piece of calligraphy. Very impressive.

Also LOL at the people whining about the art style or lack of pretentious story. The same people I'm sure who will later gush about how great "FUNNY MARIO SHORTS PART 1439" is while sprites dance about on their screen.

I do agree with the notion that it was too short. But unlike the rest of these people I actually bothered to read the Author's comments and understand why its short.

If you ever do get the notion to make a longer film done in this same blistering and stylized way, I think it would be a great visual asset to the internet.

LeafWorthy responds:

Zekey, thanks a lot man! You clearly understand exactly where I was coming from on this one. I appreciate the support!

I'd love to do a full length animation in this style, I really got to loosen up and enjoy just the act of animating. One of my goals was to stay instinctual and just draw from the gut and it's really a liberating feeling to leave an imperfect line there. I'd really recommend it for anyone who feels in a rut.

[CrowsFeet]

wat

I dont get the ending
but I still enjoyed it

UnderARock responds:

me neither :c

[Nocturnus]

pretty great

f.y.i. you can add extra people to the credits under the toons title on this submission page btw. people who...you know...contributed to this film but arent co-authed. (cough)

ANYWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Very very good. Very nice animation. And as I subtly mentioned already, a really great soundtrack which totally set the mood for this whole piece.

RubberNinja responds:

I'll be adding redmongoose to co-authors when he gets his buttocks online. Need him to accept the friend request.

Thanks you very much Zekey :)

[Weak Sleepers]

You have been spared this time Blordow. But next time you might not be so lucky.

Next time, Gadget.

Next time.

Blordow responds:

i shall wait until next time and i will be prepared.

[Ill Fate: Ep. 1]

whoa

A truly original mythology here. A world I cant really compare to anything else.

I have never seen such an odd.....I dont know. Magic? Technology? Just craziness.

The look Igor gives the Kaiser when the hat licked his hand gave me a hearty guffaw.
I assume this means no more Alphin cartoons for a while.

professor-fate responds:

Alphin may be closer than you think. It depends on how much I get done on the holidays. I've finally found my animation mojo again. XD
