Aalasteir's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pickle Collab]

The Pickle Collab is good. Teamwork makes the dreamwork.

Stonmann responds:

I prefer Disney.. (I don't fuck Disney but I had to make the joke)

[COMMERCIAL BREAK]

Absolutely amazing! You are super awesome, @MrPurpleMrPurple. Thank you so much for creating your film! I thought the experience was incredible. Your animation is full of personality and soul, and I enjoyed the funny and well-structured character interactions.

MrPurpleMrPurple responds:

Thank you! you did a great job as the Governor!

[wasdmovie 2]

@ZaneLittle do you create storyboards for your wasdmovies?

Your sequel is better than your previous installment. You have more detailed characters and very interesting, exciting movement. Your animations show amazing fluidity and a strong sense of detail and creativity, particularly in how dynamic the characters are! Your understanding of sound design and music greatly supports your animations. I am immensely impressed by how many wasdmovies you can create!

I notice that a recurring theme in your work is characters smelling bad, getting eaten, exploding, and yelling! And I think they are all done in a really funny way! I know because it makes me smile!

ZaneLittle responds:

I do not usually create storyboards. When I do, it's usually because I don't want to forget an idea- kind of like a note to self.

Thank you for all the kind words!!

I am always amazed by your skill! Your animations are very funny, and you have good pacing. You transition well from scene to scene, and the expressions you create are strong, full of personality, and rich with emotion. I wonder if you primarily animate straight ahead or if you use a post-to-post approach.

At 02:26, I burst out laughing. It's so shocking when he licks his entire face clean. Actually shows that he's happy about it. That's crazy! I wouldn't want to mess with that guy.

ZaneLittle responds:

I appreciate you!

I usually animate straight ahead! I try and feel out the pacing as I go, and all the audio is recorded after the animation is complete. Mostly just because it's easier for me to do it that way on Flipnote.

[Phallic Don Is Dead]

You have such a strong understanding of color. The dimension of the characters and how you control your framing is skillful. A great strength of your animation is the texture and how you lead viewers from scene to scene. The phallic-shaped characters are funny.

@jackimojackimo I'm curious about your inspirations because I feel you must have seen "Superjail!!" with its level of violence and fast, energetic character movement!

What you do impressively well is control the perspective changes, the squiggly, boiling lines add warmth to your vision. There is so much personality and passion in the way you use darks in your scenes, which elevates your narrative. Great sound design and voice acting add to the overall experience.

jackimojackimo responds:

Oh my god thank you so much. Yes, I absolutely love Superjail! It’s on my “Phallic Don Inspirational Required Viewing” with other stuff like King Star King, Manly, Adventure Time, Ballmastrz 9009 and comics like Prison Pit, Puke Force, and Forming.

[eminem goes to the supermarket in 1975]

I'm impressed by how well you capture the spirit of the old-school vibe of NG animations. You have a great understanding of timing. This song slaps as well. Why did you listen to the song on the bus all the time? What was something that you really liked about the song? It's good! Yeah, when Uncharted 3 comes out, it's going to be really cool!

I didn't even realize that the subtitles at the end were missing because it just ends. I thought that was intentional. That it was just "and"

ICantSeeHelp responds:

I just love mashups I find it awesome and halairous how you can an entirely new vibe by just mixing 2 songs together also Thank you !

[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!

QueenBoo responds:

u get points for that tankmen rep

[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?
