Topdrawer's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[BoyScout 5]

VERy Funny!

Nice work! Good timing, very funny gags, clean fresh style.

[-|Sweet Dreams|-]

Not bad for couple of days work, but too slow.

Some of the shots just sit there too long. Animation is like music, it has to have a rhythm and a decisive pace. Its a common mistake a lot of beginners make. A shot should last just long enough to establish itself and be understood by the viewer, no longer.

[A Demon Tale]

GOOD WORK!

There's no substitute for drawing skill. Also, It's good to see work on NG that deals with subtle themes and impressions rather than mindless slaughter and destruction.

Stryda responds:

Thanks. Fan of your work by the way.

Im surprised that this animation seems to be connecting with the audience of NG. A credit to the audience, who can appreciate something that dosent have tits, ass or violence in it.
Who says NG is full of no brain 12 yr olds?

[Roof Tiling]

Utterly Unique!

As I've suggested before, The voting should include a score for IMAGINATION!

[Awaken 2: If Only Eye...]

VERY ORIGINAL!

The ballot should have another category: IMAGINATION!

[PEACETANK]

VERY ORIGINAL!

The ballot should have one more category: IMAGINATION!

[Over Under Sideways Down.]

This took a lot of work!

Rotoscoping is a very effective technique to acheive highly realistic movement.
What's nice about rotoscoping is that the drawings can be quite loose and sketchy, but the movement itself retains a very authentic quality that would be extremely difficult or impossible to accomplish any other way. Its well known that rotoscoping was heavily used by Disney and others to study movement in people and animals.

Nice job!

GagaMan responds:

Yep, sure was. Nice little study on the technique there.

[Minushi - Chapter 9]

Impressive!

A keen sense of cinematic design. Each shot seems to have been very carefully planned and fine tuned for the optimum effect. This is a craft that relies heavily on skill as well as
intuition. Very good command of color and their its effective use. good work!

[Sonia's Escape]

Brilliant originality!

Delightful wacky style. Impressive use of color. Masterful use of Flash's tween effects. I get the impression you have a hell of a lot of fun making these things!

[Evolution -BmK]

Thumbs up!

Not much to say. Sometimes, when something is so well done, commentary is superficial and unnecessary.

BlackmarketKraig responds:

Thank you so much. I'm am very pleased to read so many positive reviews from other creators in the medium.

I thought the Performance Artist was fantastic, by the way.
