Anonymous-Frog's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Penguobbo Causes Climate Catastrophe!]

I like the design of the penguin, but there's a bunch of cinematography issues around the 0:10-0:23 mark that I'd like to point out.

There's a ton of empty space on the left of the screen, with the penguin in the middle and the bin on the right. These could benefit by centering the screen depending on the item you want to focus on.

A blue effect is applied to the bin, then when he throws, the penguin is now blurred
The throw itself is also jittery and feels unfinished.

jthrash responds:

Thank you for the feedback, cinematography is something I definitely struggle with and unfortunately I don't know any fellow animators irl that could help me fix this stuff BEFORE uploading the video, so actual advice on how to improve on this stuff next time is more appreciated than you think. This is also the first time I used the Depth of Field effect, and I should probably watch a few more tutorials on how it works in Blender specifically before trying it again in a future animation, to get more control over how it looks.

Finally, I suppose I should actually listen to my animation professors back in college and film myself acting out the scenes to use as reference, I'm sure that alone can make my animations look smoother and more polished.

[new years leave]

Seeing them fuck with the New Year ball like that gave me a good giggle, and I like the sound of that polyhedron guy. Who voiced him?

[Skirt Lift]

No f*cking sound.

[CRT TV effect made in blender]

Maybe try using that effect on an original animation rather than some video of a lighthouse you found online.

[A Message 📧]

No substance whatsoever.

6 seconds, no background, cheap visuals, cheap joke. This is about on par with Illwillpress's "Car".

[The Brothers Mario]

To add to @MrBrawls' suggestion: on Newgrounds, you can swap out the video with a different version in the Project Settings, whereas on YT, you need to delete and reupload.

[Crash bandicoot(GameGrumpsAnimated)]

I keep coming back 10 times to watch this, well, before your YouTube channel was terminated.

Thanks for reuploading here. Kinda wish you also uploaded the Louie Cer-Ker cartoon here too.

PS: I swear if your TikTok goes bust too, there's going to be a lot of lost media.

OrganizedApeShape responds:

I have the files still I made a new Safe youtube Just haven't gotten round to changing links and stuff yet.

[Whorepad (w/Coke)]

There's no sound, it's a 2 second turnaround of Coke's head.

I'm not gonna comment on the subject matter, I'm just here to tell you that this could very easily have been an animated GIF or WEBP on the Art Portal, which you've already done with a few YCH commissions.

Either way, I still rate 3 stars.

CokeThePrincess responds:

What a gross reply

[The non-sense show.]

Not impressed.

Most of the animation are basic stick figures that barely animate (save for mouths). The voices are nice, but that's about it.

Ultimately this is just another wannabe asdfmovie, anyone can do these.

RE: They're doing it out of sympathy. You pretty much need to up your game.

GuardiasVA responds:

I mainly participated voicing in this video because I like to do it for fun, and I think Simoes thinks the same way when he wants to make the non-sense show. He also wants to make these kind of videos because its part of his creative freedom and he wants to make it enjoyable for himself, his friends and to others like myself.
Surely I understand your criticisms, but it’s something that the dude can learn from.
I believe he has a future for newgrounds where he’ll become an amazing newgrounder that a lot of people want to work with.
