Aalasteir's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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?

[BIG BLONDE VENDETTA]

thanks!!

[CryptoSCURVencY]

You have good comedic timing and a strong sense of character design. Your well-defined shapes and silhouettes are excellent, and the rocking of the camera is a nice addition in communicating the sense of being on the ship.

Hi @kewbles at 00:38 - How did you decide on using a borderline fisheye perspective for your scene?

kewbles responds:

the answer to your question is, its fun to draw backgrounds like that and it looks cool

[Axis Pre boss fight speech]

You are awesome for embarking on a new quest of expressing your ideas. The amount of dedication and passion you have shown is inspiring. In your voice acting, I would recommend having the output in mono because the voice is panned hard to the left for your entire movie. Your art style is very good.

Nebulate responds:

Thank you for the kind words m8. Very mutch apreciated.
Also in regards to the audio thing: i did not notice the audio panning when i was working on it. But i did it afterwards when i used a different headphone. And yeah. Its annoying. That was an issue that my PC headphones did sadly not pick up on, so i left it in the video.

[Dreamy Collide (Oneshot) Movie]

Nice animation with good movement. I like it when you can see LY visibly get angry if you take too long answer. However, I feel confused by what is going on. The fluidity of your animation is good, with nice tweening. I feel it ended quite fast without a proper conclusion, but it gives a good picture of what your web series is about, although I am genuinely confused about what is happening. I find the character designs difficult to read. It starts out very fast, and I wish there was some quick explanation of what world they are in, as I feel that the narrative of the story is not properly explained to the viewer.

HantomPro responds:

thank you ^^ , and nice point, i hope can explain more in episode 2, but in short, LY the queen of Dreamy's , wants to protect the dreamy world, with wrong attitudes ,killing the two brothers , The dreamy's universe is vast, I have a list of 152 creatures to put in the series

[[FLASH] Steamboat Willie]

Nice! The scene's detail with the foot tapping is well executed. The subtle bouncing head and blinking are all good. The music sets the atmosphere, and the movement of the background gives the sense that he is traveling in a boat, which is done well. The music is representative of the time and has a good charm to it.

MebroukTheCat responds:

Thanks for your appreciation

[[FLASH] Paffendorf.swf]

I think your Flash serves as a place for the viewer to click on various links linking to your social media. Your interactive flash functions and it serves the intended purpose. Additionally, there is a character dancing in a strange fashion that I cannot describe, and the Koala girl looks disappointed at the character.

MebroukTheCat responds:

Well, Let me tell ya'
The blue Kittyfox is called Luna Sapphire, whereas the Koala girl is called Gigi Templeton.
This Flash is a remake of LunaKittyfox's old animation that I found on her old Instagram account long ago:

Also, The creator of this animation is the owner of these characters.
Don't mind about it, here's her current account that She created like 7 years ago:

[NG Winter Fest Opening Animation | 2022]

Absolutely excellent, with the lively opening exhibiting amazing energy. It's very positive overall. All of the animation is extremely unique and full of personality, with bright colors! All of the scenes contribute to the narrative; it's very awesome to see a great coordination effort to get all of the scenes to transition from each other so expertly. It must have been difficult.

Absolutely amazing! Additionally, the music is also very nice, a great choice. I am very thankful that the music from the audio portal can be used for terrific animations because it shows solidarity between all of the portals and respect for our community in creating amazing projects!

YOU'RE ALL AWESOME!

Stanpai responds:

Thank you for the shining review. I try to utilize the Audio portal whenever possible, but it was 100% necessary for this video to serve its purpose. I'm glad you liked it!
