TCKnight's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pencilmation #32]

Your animation and style is really professional in its execution. I love it. I especially like the trend for recurring named characters that you've developed over time.

[ET Excursion 4]

Great work, man. I've been waiting for this for quite a while. My only hangup was what happened that resulted in the three protagonists getting locked up. It looked like the pretty much had the drop on the Mayor, bluff or no bluff.

vezanmatics responds:

Mayor Dictatus doesn't mess around. Besides, in the script there was a scene where Xleek explained why he couldn't kill him.

I removed that part because:
1. It completely ruined the pacing.
C. I wanted to raise some questions that would be answered later in order to add to the cliffhanger.

Thanks for the review!

[Birth]

It was delightfully twisted in its humor. I would say that the only area of improvement is making the animation a little smoother. Not too much for this work, but some motions seemed too jerky even for what you were going for.

MarcyVF responds:

Thanks for that comment :) You know, I kind of justified some of the low-fps jagged animation with the (fake) stop motion technique, but maybe I overdid it at times.

[Genetically Modified Food]

Scientific inaccuracies regarding what you can actually "DO" with GMOs aside, I clicked this link in fear I was about to hear some propaganda bullshit against GMOs that you typically find. I found your take much more enjoyable, since it's obviously silly humor. On a constructive note: the only thing I would like to see improved is how the people moved in the animation. It was clear that the body parts were moving independently, rather than as a unit.

Good work and my favorite part was the terrorist chips. Not PC, but somewhat clever.

ADASport responds:

Yeah, the terrorist chips are the funniest

[Swingers Episode 5]

I love this world you have created in "Swingers." Every installment in enjoyable to watch and I'm always looking forward to the next one. Some suggestions: 1) On the audio, which I know you have been trying to work on, there is still an abruptness to the way the sound plays, especially the music. I would suggest slowly introducing the song with a fade-in, while the previous action is wrapping up. That way, you can create a little more continuity from event to event. 2) On the story, the overall plot was entertaining, but the resolution was too quick. You needed to either over-express Ragtime's assertiveness over the genie or draw out the ending just a little more to provide explanation for how she was able to pull it off so easily.

But this is rapidly becoming one of my favorite series, so keep it up!

[SPACE WALRUS]

Every time you put out one of these videos, I always think, "There is no way it is weirder than the last one." And then you make this insanity! I can't even fathom how you take such absurd concepts and actually make them work like this. But it is great that you do.

[Meanwhile, at Adobe]

Short, but I couldn't avoid laughing at that absurd image at the end. Nice job.

[White Magic Charging]

It looks nice, but is a little dull outside of the context of the game. A little music in the background would have been nice.

[DayZ Basically]

A little too short, in my opinion. But I liked the post-credit joke, which saved it.

WooleyWorld responds:

I agree.

[: Ninja Christmas :]

Another excellent video. Definitely loved that last touch of Germaine close to snapping.
