Simrick's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rock Climbing With A Hot Girl (Animation/Sketch)]

Personally I really don't like the start where your moving they pictures up and down, it feels almost lazy in a way, you could just turn they pages instead of something that is kind of disorientating. If it were me, I'd just take photos of each page and add a very slow zoom in on each one as your talking about them.

The second half is better but I would recommend maybe playing about with different backgrounds (as in behind they drawings) such as the grayscale like colours that animatics are normally done in, maybe even they paper texture a lot of stick figure animation sometimes use.

As for your drawing style, it's clear that your ahh... not they best; but your a lot better on paper than digitally, maybe for they backgrounds of the second half you could draw them on paper first and then take a picture of them and draw over them (although if your using a mouse to draw you will need to just slow down your movements in order to get more smoother lines.

You have clearly spent a lot of time and hard work on this.
Nice work, keep making more stuff please ;)

[Skeleton Crew Cartoon Eps. 10]

At the 32 second mark when it cuts to the next scene; the first person to speak sounds like
they are getting cut off at the start of "Hello".

The well at the 40 second mark looks more like a trampoline. Maybe you could of had a circle of water in the middle to represent the depth of it.

It felt kind of odd that the yellow guy never looked froward even at the 1:25 mark when there was someone walking in front of him. You have a looking froward pose already drawn for him in your first episode.

Also why have chairs if no ever sits down? (The yellow guy looks like he's floating and not sitting).

Overall: The voice acting isn't the worst, and I like the way your writing dark comedy and your not using swear words just for the sake of using them.

It takes a lot of time to make a 3 minute animation that has a story, uses jokes and has a beginning, middle and end that lend off each other.

Nice job and keep up the good work!

SkeletonCrewCartoon responds:

Ya these are all 2 years old ive gotten much better. I know mistakes were made. But thanks stay tuned i have so much more. after i upload the series i start gamer parodies of my own and some speed drawings even

[Thrust vs 1BN]

Awesome animation but you mention sound effects but there isn't any? did you have to remove them to upload it or something?

It clearly shows there has been a lot of work put in to this and it's just amazing to watch!

Good job to you and 1BN for this almost 800 frames of pure madness!

NioXoiN responds:

Yeah, younger me animated this along to copyrighted music. I posted it with audio on youtube at https://youtu.be/fU6QxatFpAE Thank you simrick

[Don't Eat ICECREAM]

The animation style is quite cute and the voice acting for the ice cream was really good.

I didn't like the fact that the joke was the goat actually wanting to eat him but it just does the fake eating you do to a baby to trick them into thinking you want there food.

The camera work was nice and smooth and the jump cut when the ice cream turned at the goat was barely noticeable.

Overall: Good Job on this and I'll be on the look out for the next one ;)

[The Fall of Googler]

Nice job on making a 10 minute animation, clearly a lot of work went in to this!

I'm not a big fan of the computer sounds in the background around the 1 minute mark; as it felt a bit repetitive and unrealistic, maybe a computer fan or something would of been better but I can't imagine working on a computer all day with noises like that going on.

I really don't like this line "Impossible. It's all just too crazy to believe, but you are my only option." Instead maybe you could have the guy say "I don't care want it is, as long as we know what were dealing with. You'll be able to stop it, right?".
Saying "It's all to crazy to believe" just doesn't sit right with me. It might just be me though and this is almost 10 minutes long which I'm sure wasn't easy to write for; so you did alright considering the how much it takes to make something like this.

Also the line "And I couldn't take it yourself?" is not very good english, it's edither "And you couldn't just take it yourself?" or "And I could just take it myself?".

After I found out that the monster was literally Google chrome I kind of just skipped though it, but for the most part the backgrounds like the bus scene and the forest were nice, the lip syncing and facial expression were good, and although I don't speak the language the voice acting didn't seem that bad.

Again Good job and keep making more stuff please ;)

missstic responds:

Thank you soooo much for the comment. You are right, translating a 10 minute video was a bit hard, but we will try to improve in the furute. Same with our animation. Thanks again.

[Volcanicus Combines]

Nice work!

I really like the opening especially with the music choice and the delay to the animation.

I got thrown off by the jump a little, mainly because it went over the lego background (or other lego like brick) and you could see over it.

I thought it was a fight scene at first; as the robot looked like he was getting attacked at the start, but if it's being used as an outro then it won't be an issue because of the amount of times it will be rewatched.

For your first "real" animation (which I'm guessing you mean the first one your proud of maybe? as you have made "real" animations before) It clearly shows you've put alot of work into this one because of how fluid the animation is.

Overall: Nice job and keep making more please ;)

i meant that it's the first time using 24 FPS instead of 16
but seriously, thank you!
this really made my day! ^^

[Skeletoncrew Intro]

The text at the end was nicely done and the first loop of the music was not too bad.

Especially because the music loop is short; the second baby noise just reinforces they fact that it's a loop so it's a small bit distracting from what's going on.

I would consider ( If you are able to do it) to change the audio so that the baby noise only plays once and it's on the reveal of the name/title.

Also the animation was alright and the art style was kind of neat!

Keep making more please ;)

[Infinity War: Time To Pay, Thanos]

BOOOoo for using a after credits scene!

elgordo11x responds:

I'm sorry XD it was purely for the Marvel connection

[Rabbit Travel - Trash Kombat 01]

Great job on this animation!

The story was unexpected and very funny, plus that well meaning end to it "Recycle Stuff" was perfect!

The animation style was very nicely done and the expressions on the rabbits face was great.

The background was quite funny with the trees but I felt that it seemed a bit to bright and I'm now worried that the next time I run into fog I'll get blinded :P

Overall: Great job!

VolFMaple responds:

Thank you!

I didn't know what to think at first but it all kind of went well together.

The first one was quite interesting as it almost seemed like a video on how people with anxiety must feel like.
I wasn't a big fan of how the pupil was animated in it; as pupils are normally quite snappy and it felt odd that it was always shaking.

Overall great work on this project and keep making interesting stuff

FlowDownStream responds:

Thanks for the review! I definitely see your point about the way I animated the pupils. i was trying to imitate that snappiness but it didn't turn out more just as shakiness.
Thanks for the stars, and you can be sure we'll keep doing what we're doing. :)
