grimview's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Furaide Naito Fankinn]

This well drawn & has an anime feel to it, but not much animation. What's with the lines just scratching out the image like the eyes at 0:58, as it looks sloppy?

Asphyxiaorange responds:

Was just having fun with it! To me a lot more of it looks sloppy than that, since it was rushed, but I'm glad you gave it a watch.

[Friday Night Rockin]

The opening animation is choppy & feet slide down the steps instead of walking;
The text is small & hard to read (try zooming in on the focus area & the rule of thumb is you should be able to read it twice if you want to us to read it once);
You actually created 1 or more accounts to blam other submissions as seen in this video, including "redhotsexymen82". Did you also use your 82 accounts to vote this video up?

[Hate 1.1]

When it comes to text, the rule of thumb is "you should be able to read it twice" if you want us to read it once. We should not need to constantly pause to read. Next text should contrast with the back ground color so we can see. EX dark red text on brown = hard to see, dark red text on light blue is easy to see. Ex compare the dark red at 5:17 to the light red at 5:26 this see how much different the text look as the lighter red really pops by contrasting with the dark black background & is easier to see. Finally the text hops all over the screen, so keep in mind that some of us may have small screens that clip the text from top/bottom or will need to scroll to find it. Ex small fuzzy white text at 1:39 on bottom of screen, instead could have been center of the black road & enlarged to have one word on top of the other, so that its fuzzy & large enough to be readable. Animation has a decent fight sequence.

[My Pride: Episode One]

You may want to animate the lips when characters are talking. Otherwise this a good story with good voices & well drawn.
I like the irony that lion concerned about children hearing violent stories, soon after, meets a violent death. Its a contrast to the opening of happy cubs telling stories, but also fits by showing that the told story, is not much different from the prides current raw reality. Reminds me of Watership Down & the Lion King.

[The Story of the Frackin' Rabbit]

Like most "my story animated" videos, this one uses heavy exaggerations & combines multi stories while ignoring any progress that has been made; however, I think more effort can be put into making the exaggerations funny. For example if you going to steal the unrelated deforestation from the Lorax, don't simply replace the Lorax with the bunny. If you going to steal the Teflon 50 years water pollution effects that started before the chemical right to know laws existed where Dupont deliberately continued to violate those laws by spraying local rivers with an unregulated & unreported chemical; then at least include the Teflon logo.

You can upload an animated gif to the art portal. Not enough happening in this loop to be considered an animation.

[Jim Vs The Movie (Part 5 The shortcut...)]

The excess squiggly lines on the trees make it hard to tell them apart especially when they are close together. Kind of hurts my eyes. ex 00.10.33

You can’t tell the Forrest for the trees

[The Birds and The Bees]

This is great combo of an classical mad scientist war criminal anti-German stereotypical character combined with a modern day simp. Looking forward to see how you modernize classical cartoon characters mocking Japan & Italy next.

[Mandalorian Zim - Animated Trailer Parody [The Mandalorian + Invader Zim mashup]]

You do good work.

You might want to spread out your uploads (over more then 1 day apart), because you are competing against yourself for the front page/ top 5 & such.

Aw thanks! and thank you for the advice, I'll make sure to do that
