BeamShank's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Doopie and Hoodrock]

POIFECT

Bmac responds:

thanks dadwarlus

[Words of wisdom: chugga]

So, you kinda just animated a nerd talking to the screen.
He mentions that he's trying to catch a Moltres, but that's never shown.
just a dude talking to the screen, moving his arms a little.
In this case, the animation didn't add anything to the audio clip, and to be completely honest, I think the audio clip is funnier on it's own.

Horsenwelles responds:

the premise is to animate the letsplayer's quote. its basicially a reaction shot, and its not specificially supposed to add to the clip besides the visual representation of it.

i know defending such a hollow premise is pointless, but it is the point of the series, and in terms of what it is, people outside NG seem to like it (youtube and DA) because it is in a context they understand and appreciate.

thank you for your opinion though =)

[Siblings Untitled 04]

I've always loved your stuff

This may be weird to say, but the part that made me laugh for like five minutes, was when Max was straining to say "Johnny?"

Remember that there'll always be one person anxiously awaiting your next endeavor!

Bobert-Rob responds:

Yeah, and I'm one of em'! It sucks not having anything out for awhile. It's hard to work on things I'm not inspired to, though. Still, heres to hoping there's more soon! :D

Oh, and thanks, glad ya liked it!

[Hair Affair]

This'll totes do well.

Remember when you were animating this at my house, and we were totally unproductive? hahaha, STOP UP-STAGING ME.

WalkingShrub responds:

Fun times brosef, I liked how you... NEVER!

[The death and birth]

I wasn't all for the art style.

Reading through your responses to the reviews, you mention that the kid falling wasn't human. At first it seemed like the "creature" was a human drawn in a unique art style. If you were trying to establish that the "creature" and human baby were of seperate species, I would have changed the creature's skin color or something.
9/10 for style, and a unique message.
I didn't like the art style, but judging by that would be too shallow as there is a lot going for this animation.

lemoon responds:

I wanted it to be just slightly different from human. Actually it's design based on these small mayan sculptures, to have a little bit mystical/weird look.
It is not a human, but it is not an animal too. i would say that it is mystical creature, or even a soul, since he lives, in a different dimension.

[The Kirby Collab]

Whew!

After the endless amount of time put into this, I'm glad to see it's finally done. All of our efforts payed off, and it looks great.

FlashfireEX responds:

Indeed.

[Dragon for School]

Yay.

In my case the song saved you. Ratatat <3

Evil-eS responds:

uh, thank you ^^;

[Zelda: Oracle Of Secrets]

Ugh!

This would totally be okay if all the story elements hadn't all been used by Scoot in Zelda unknown origins. And C'mon, how could ou release this with all that white space peering through the backgrounds. Doing is Okay I'm sure if its just a white line, but there's all ways a strip of white on screen, terrible! It makes me gag. And on top of that I've seen all these story elements used by scoot, it even looked like you copied his style of drawing eyes. That is SO not cool, don't take a fan flash that has good animation and an iffy storyline and then make a fan flash of the fan flash with jumpy animation and a totally cliche plot-line that was ALREADY USED BY SAID ANIMATOR. You even copied the diamond hovering above their foreheads when they used magic from the goddesses. I'm done with you, I'm gonna stop talking before I get banned because this comment is abusive. Before I leave you: WHITE SPACE IS NOT OKAY, and WHY WASTE TIME COPYING A MEDIOCRE ANIMATOR? Make your own plots, you could totally be allot better if you worked harder on the actual animating aspects and the pacing. I'm very sorry to say that I found this movie idiotic and redundant but I say this because YOU'RE WASTING YOUR ANIMATION POWERS ON UNORIGINAL GARBAGE! Thank you.

DARKRYAN responds:

I THINK IT'S THE FORMATTING. SO I'VE GOTTA CHANGE SOME SETTINGS. I THINK IT'S SETTINGS ARE ON 500 X 400, INSTEAD OF 500 X 300. XD. AS FOR WHERE IT APPEARED, WHERE ELSE WOULD IT APPEAR, BESIDES HIS HANDS, WHICH IS COMMING IN A LATER EPISODE I'M RE-ANIMATING. XD. FOR THE EYES, THEY'RE JUST A PLACE HOLDER BECAUSE I'M STILL TRYING TO CREATE A GOOD PAIR OF EYES TO MATCH HIM. AND IT'S NOT ABUSIVE TO ME. I NEED REAL CRITIQUES, INSTEAD OF CRITUQUES POSTED BY FRIENDS TO NOT HURT MY FEELINGS. SO, THANKS FOR YOUR REAL OPINIO. (^_^).

[Liquid Life]

Great!

This was a very original concept, the sheer imagination coupled with the music created an extremely creative product. I think that the lines could have been cleaner and the backgrounds could have had more care put into them. If you were to bring the full human body into the animation it would be very stylistic. Overall this was a very cool animation and I think you have the tools to become well known on this site. Also death-note is cool.

ShikoxXxShadow responds:

thank you for your advice, i appreciate the feedback. and im glad you liked it. ^^

and yes, deathnote is cool. XD

[Prelude to Sonic.v.Shadow]

No thanks.

You shouldn't make previews to single episode flash animations, or sprite movies for that matter. Flashes like that don't need previews. If you want criticism upload it to www.newgrounds.com/dump and share it with the animation forum.

Guyviroth responds:

Already have done. Just thought I'd share it with the rest of the site.
