Aalasteir's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Krab's Schizophrenia]

Unironically really great, high production value.

Don-0-Gon responds:

Thanks

[Farting Renewable Energy to Power Earth from SHREK 5]

Literal green energy

ZabuJard responds:

these are jokes so open your ears, laughters the cure for all your fears

[Space Hunters]

They're bad guys, that's all you need to know.
That transportation device looks very accurate.

Fantastic episode! You've made great improvements to your timing and writing.
And the audio mixing is better. I read the script word for word, I should have said "for" instead of "to".

Facko-Newgrounds responds:

Thank you Aalasteir, i appreciate your compliment and I liked working with ya.

But please, try to slow down a bit when speaking, it can be kind of hard for me to lipsnc, this is the reason why Percy mostly spoke off screen XD

[Randal and the Fugly Snake]

I really like the character dynamics.

What is Snake Boy's eyebrows?

brainhem responds:

yay im glad. As for snake boy's eyebrows I have no idea. I think i just wanted to give them some feature to make them unique. Maybe If I ever do something else with these characters I'll think up what their eyebrows are.

[Pesticide]

Really good variation in line width, also great color and shading.
And you have good comedic timing!

What is typically your animation pipeline?

GuyHitchens responds:

Thanks a lot man, im glad you liked it!

I usually start off with a premise i think will be fun / what gets me excited to work on something and then design the characters after that to help me visualise how it may look. HOWEVER for this short i designed my character fist and later decided what the short would be haha

After that ill just write a bunch of diabolically bad versions of what i think should happen in a word document, until im happy with something, so i have a guideline for my animatic

I tend to spend a lot of time focusing on the animatic, this really helps me understand the pacing of the film, as well as knowing what edits and sound effects to keep in mind whilst i'm animating (as a lot of that stuff goes hand in hand)

After that its just me animating the shots and compositing them in after effects, after which i will stitch everything together in Premier!

[Can Anyone Hear Me?]

You have an interesting style, how did you get interested in animation?

brainhem responds:

Hi, thanks for your comment! I've always liked animation but I think I only got into it from my interest in filmmaking. I fell in love with writing and at first would try and write scripts to 'break into the industry' but soon realised I could just be making films by myself, or at the very least improve by doing so. I'm kind of creativily impulsive (and insane) but i've stuck to animating for the most part because I believe it to be the most fufilling and all encompassing way to tell a story... for me at least. Anyway sorry if this comment Is a bit long haha.

[Ironclad Bullies Some Gremlins]

Your animation is really good and especially how you do shadow and light.

@FlurryOfBricks, how did you learn to animate?

FlurryOfBricks responds:

Thanks, I appreciate it. I first learned to animate by watching tutorials online. Along with that, I spent a lot of time practicing and applying what I learned into practice projects. It's a never ending process of learning something new and applying it into my work.

[James McKay Saves The Day!]

Such a kind man with a big heart!

TobyMoon responds:

Always here when we need him most

[The Kleaning Robot (TGD Ep3)]

Your backgrounds are absolutely great. The music is overall too loud, and at 4:18 the voice lines are abruptly cut it is distracting from the plot.

I'm so sorry your PC is crashing. You could try reinstalling some programs or doing a cleanup by removing unused ones.

Facko-Newgrounds responds:

I'll try to make the audio less loud!

Thanks for the feedback!

[BFSQ]

You are awesome Tom Doy! You have a good sense of humor. You are very skilled animator!
Jasmin and KJ did a great job voice acting!

KJBurbankVA responds:

I loved your performance in here!! Great stuff dude
