ZekeySpaceyLizard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Awesome Gaiden]

ooh

Alot shorter than the others.
And I think that makes it alot more exhilarating.

Like a short burst of energy. Like a bomb.
What do you do your keys on? 2's or 3's?

also are you sure a dvd is a good idea? that could cost you a relative fuckton and put you in a hole for the rest of your life. happened to someone I know.

Egoraptor responds:

Wow thanks Zekey! :D

I run at 20 fps (weird I know) on 2's. Sometimes 1's for really quick or subtle stuff.

The DVD is on hold for a lot of reasons, that being one of them. Funding has always been an issue and it's an issue I'm not prepared to deal with right now. I have to make a few investments in other things before I can even think of funding a DVD, but the posbility is still there, just far off.

Basically it's on hold because I'm not so sure it IS a good idea... right now.

[super happy fun life]

neat

i wasnt even aware you make flash, mechbloby

this was pretty great

weird loops and fbf

needs more squidward though

Mechabloby responds:

Ah, I've been doing it for some time. Glad you enjoyed it and all. Who knows, I may make a tributary thing for squidward.

[art in the playground]

aww

Much like "Kids say the Dardest Things" and some documentaries, there's always something refreshing about listening to a child explain something.
They're innocent to most of the troubles of the world and aren't conniving enough to do things that are passive aggressive. They have such a natural curiosity and frank way of putting things.

Combining this with a cartoon was a fantastic idea.
It's funny to hear them discuss things like art, which usually when discussed it so pretentious you cant stand it.

It was also heartwarming to hear a child say his favorite cartoon character was The Roadrunner. After 50 years, kids still love looney toons. That is really wonderful and a testament to the quality of those old classics.

The animation in this was top notch as well. Smooth and fluent and cute. I assume these drawings were charicatures of the kids who were interviewed. And I assume you combined the flash animation with the video footage using Aftereffects.

Really got a kick out of the facial expressiong you gave the two girls at the end. Really nailed that whole "how can I insult my crabby teacher without being a jerk" look.

Good stuff.

tommylm responds:

thanks for the thoughtful review.. yeah they are rough charicatures based on the kids themselves, some bear very close resemblance, some not so much, but in the end I was focusing on how their appearance should parallel their personalities and how they compare/match with eachother.
You assume correctly that I used after effects, very badly however as I had to work it out myself and ended up using like 30 layers. Publishing the whole thing takes about 30-40 minutes and I had to republish around 4 times to get it perfect.... ugh..
thanks again

[distortion: transgression]

hermgf

I like this.

But...is this that thing you showed me before? The graphics and sounds are completely different, but similar.

d

50vmp responds:

no it is not the same movie i showed you

actually mrat wanted the fla so i guess that movie is becoming an unexpected collaboration now

[Whats That Sound?]

what????

It was like a storybook from a madman who lives in a dimension unlike our own.

Quite amusing and goof color theories throughout .

Gerkinman responds:

I love storybooks =D

[RWD: 013]

the best

the best flash ever made.
how do I know this?

well you see i have this boil on my forhead and it's pretty malignant, and it's been blowin up to like a hooj size.
and then i watched this and it fell off and grew little legs and did a little jig and hopped off the table and ran out the door giggling wildly

and that is what happened.

LazyMuffin responds:

well, i guess that proves that this IS the best animation ever.

lets shake on it.

[Bad Baby]

mmmm

have i told you lately that I fucking LOVE everything you make?

i must say my particularly fave part in this was the donkey man and his flailing arms

Catoblepas responds:

Why, thank you and thank you all. I'm actually a bit proud of the flailing arms myself, even though they're just the tiniest detail.
:3

[Down At McDonalds]

haha

short and funny.

i cant think of anything more constructive to say.

except ronald mcdonald will most likely destroy us all.

Gerkinman responds:

he did that long ago

[Uncalled For]

genius.

you sir, are a master of the craft

never has a film evoked such emotions in me.

JunkYardAnimations responds:

that's the goal man, to evoke tons of emotions out of everybody

[Wither]

lovely

very short but fun to watch.

the crazy angles and scribbly shading reminded me of bill plymptons work. but you have a different drawing style and use alot more inbetweens than he does.

good woik

Totty responds:

Thats really funny, I kinda saw glimpses of plympton in this too, but couldn't pinpoint why...
