Aalasteir's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Josh Grayson: Episode 5]

Fantastic work! Great animation, voice acting and storytelling!

10OutOf10Media responds:

Thanks!

[Aliens Stole my Cheese Doodles]

Fantastic work! Great animation, good humor, and very funny! The traditional animation is extremely impressive.

How did you get interested in animation?

What is your process?

TobyMoon responds:

Thanks so much! :)

Not really sure exactly how, I've always been making little cartoons for as far back as I can remember.

Absolutely everything you see is hand drawn on paper. I scan each frame into the computer where I then edit and assemble everything. I try to only use computers when I need to, even the audio production I'll sometimes use a 4 track cassette portastudio.

[The Legend of Stinky123]

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

HenryExists responds:

Thanks! 👍

[He broke my TV...]

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!

[Homestar runner twins]

very good, very nice, what do you like Homestar?

--

@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).

[how'd that get there]

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

klydewitakay responds:

Such a goofball he is

[Roleplay]

You are extremely skilled.

@HeelsforEels, how did you get interested in creating animations?

@HeelsforEels, what was your process for learning animation?

HeelsforEels responds:

Thank you! Well, movies are my favorite thing and I have always drawn, so is a way to make films all by myself. I'm self taught so by doing, failing and getting better I guess... I have a lot to learn yet tho...

@Facko-Newgrounds, how you do voice change?

Facko-Newgrounds responds:

The voices aren't technically AI, i still recorded them all, i just used voice changers

Edit:
I noticed, you edited your comment to ask a question, The end credits already explain this but.

Basically what I do is, record my voices (duh) and then put the voice files into a website called "Fake.You".

Then i just search for whatever character i want (In this case, Markiplier for Joe/Jhon Llama, and Waluigi for Moris/Cadet the cat)
and it transforms my voice to sound like that character!

And everything else is history.
