Aalasteir's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chain Smoking]

It's interesting to see that your scene is primarily animated on threes. The framing is excellent, and the character design showcases a strong silhouette with great stylization. The colorful background complements the character well. The composition is excellent, and the line work is very nice, with jagged lines and variations in line thickness that give good definition to the character. Along with personality.

[burritos]

Tests are important as they showcase technique. It's also interesting to see that Blender was incorporated into the pipeline, which I wouldn't have guessed initially. However, I can now see it because of the background, which I might not have noticed otherwise.

I have had many negative experiences when giving feedback that could even remotely be seen as critical. Please, I sincerely hope that the feedback doesn't bother you. I find it odd that when he is chewing, none of the burrito is inside his mouth, making it look like he's just eating air. Additionally, the still facial expression seems strange when juxtaposed with the large, fluid motion. Perhaps if his eyes were moving to show he is reading or scrolling, it would have a better impact.

[A pint of Guiness]

Your badger design is excellent, and the motion is well done. The background features particles and a good choice of warm colors, a seamless loop.

[Infinity pool or something. I dunno I don't swim]

The background has strong stylization, and the way the building is reflected in the water is excellent. The palm trees are vibrant, adding a lot of life to the scene. The character has a strong silhouette, and the shading gives good dimension to the entire scene, defining the character well. Inside the pool, the way the light transitions with the motion is sophisticatedly done, and the loop is very seamless. I also appreciate the added motion of the waves, and the clouds in the background.

[The CD-i Collab]

Excellent work from everyone! Bless your heart, @DextaGethood. Your transitions for the animations are super cool. All amazing entries! Great to see everyone collaborating so well! The quality is high, and the humor is spot on. Poor Slippy! He should have done a barrel roll!

[Pseudoregalia: Dream Encounter]

WOW! Absolutely amazing animation! The way you control the camera and present your scenes is very strong. Great choice of music and sound effects. You are awesome!

[The Best Bug Juice Ad]

My favorite beverage!

[Machina Combat]

Great action! I like the dynamic camera movements and the good variation in sound effects. The quick transition into first-person view added nice variation to the narrative. I also enjoyed all the different music choices you made. There are many different visual effects, and the characters show personality in how they interact with each other while fighting. That is a great decision!

Your animation is impressive, with many different variations of quick movements. The rhythm of the fast-paced action flows well into the narrative and communicates effectively.

@SkProductions, how did you decide on choosing a story that focuses on action? I like action animations!

@SkProductions, what do you like about Madness Combat and Bunny Kill?
You mentioned being inspired by them. What aspects of these series inspire you?

And thank you for introducing me to Blue Sky @Paragonx9

Thank you for using my music for your animation! Yes, we are not talking about the radio demon XD

Awesome of you to say thank you to Newgrounds for being chill and awesome!

You are absolutely right!

RESPONSE: I appreciate your kind words @SkProductions absolutely true that twists, creative moves, and fluid movement add a lot of suspense. You're right that action animations are a bit rare. Learning to make improvements takes a lot of dedication and energy, and the first attempt is an important part of the process. It's great to hear that you are inspired by aspects like rivalries.

I agree that a rivalry can showcase a lot of personality and plot. As well as unique and creative action.

Yes, I do plan on making more music for animators who create action animations.

SkProductions responds:

Thank you very much @Aalasteir your music is wonderful as always.

It's mostly out of fondness of watching Madness Combat and Bunny Kill and adding some twists in here or there even though action animations are a bit rare but it's really neat when they show up, at first it was an idea I had but I put it to the side to work on other things, after that though I've started to work on it learning from the first attempt and applied it to this one.
(fun fact this isn't my first time doing it but hey it's nice to make improvments)

The aspects that inspired me was the protagonist dealing with large numbers and occasionally dealing with rivals who's skill is much better than any grunt/minion even though I like the rival aspect more than the grunts/minons but hey everyone has their own tastes.

Question for you @Aalasteir, do you ever plan on making some music for animators who make action animations?
