Aalasteir's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Legend of Stinky123]

Funny moments, and thanks for including the music in the description. Unique style!

HenryExists responds:

Thanks! 👍

[Bored Pear]

The concept is well executed—good job! However, I think for Flash Forward it doesn’t qualify as an interactive movie because it doesn’t have interactive elements.

Overall, great job, though it was a bit difficult to understand what the characters were saying at times. Still, this is good work, and it was a nice touch that the shadows moved with the characters.

Super funny, good camera work! Fantastic sound design.

What is your approach to creating your animations?

Spitwads responds:

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support.

For a quick rundown, I always start with audio and build from there (recorded in Audacity and edited in Final Cut Pro). I voice both characters, so it's been fun to see it all evolve as I've worked on it more and more. I do all of the animation in ToonBoom Harmony, as well as the camerawork, background art, and compositing. The whole thing then goes back into Final Cut Pro, where I resync it with the original audio and layer on some extra effects that are easier to do outside of ToonBoom (for this one the "cheapski" mouth effect and color correction). After that it's pretty much done!

I hope that answers what you wanted to know! I'd definitely be happy to go into greater detail if there's anything else you're curious about.

Hopefully getting started on the next one soon!

@Manuelfm, yes it's very good

Manuelfm responds:

Yes what about you?

[Wake up]

There’s a clear and strongly communicated story. What I think would help is at 0:20, where there’s a frame that goes too quickly—I find that one distracting. Overall, the story is good, and its structure is well done. The expressions are funny and add effectively to the humor.

Fantastic work! There’s great variation in the facial expressions and camera movements.

How did you get interested in Newgrounds?

What is your process for creating animation?

GnarpzART responds:

Thank you for the detailed critique, I really appreciate it.

I got interested in newgrounds from my interest in art/animation, a lot of really good stuff on here.

Now my process is nothing special, I write a script, starting from some small idea that i just build on, until I have a story. Honestly most of the scripts i write are very improvisational, the process is just whats most natural for me. I then record audio, and lastly just animate whatever I feel like fits the audio. (This process also leads to a lot of scripts that I don’t animate).

[Electrode]

Great design! I think it would be cool if the Electrode shot out electricity. Great job!

[Cain finds a gun!]

Great animation! Good style, the timing is good, keep making more! Awesome work!

[There's an alien in the ghetto]

I like the character designs, and the lip sync is well done, as is the movement of the characters. And sound design.

How did you get interested in creating animations?

[how'd that get there]

That's a very good friend, always pulling funny pranks.

Such a goofball he is

[Mars Stars - VENUS ATTACKS]

Fantastic work! You have great story structure. And the pacing is good, I also like to compensation of the scenes. And great sound design!
