turtleco's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Distant Hearts]

its okay, could definetely use some work.

I can tell this isn't something you made right away, it definitely took some effort, but it, like anything else, could use some work.

first I'd like to say your choice of music, and ability to draw backgrounds is note worthy.

but the characters and the animation is what bothered me. The animation looked choppy and wrong sometimes, and truthfully there wasn't much of it. It felt like it was almost all static images, and camera pans. To the little animation there was, there was really shakily drawn characters, might I recommend a higher smoothing setting? So the animation to me looked like choppy, and off loops. It wasn't that bad, but it could REALLY use some TLC. I'd recommend adding more frames in the motion, using less blurs, plan out the animation more carefully, easing, and if you haven't already heard of it, use onion skinning.

I'm not trying to bash you or anything, I'm just saying that you should keep what you have going for you, and improve on what is slowing you down.

and I'm sorry but I really hate anime love storys, its just not my thing.

KidTheFast responds:

thanks for the review, champ. yes, i'm a bit lazy in animation XD and I did use onion skin. what I want to achieve is the mood, smoothiness just not my style ya know (hurr) building the mood is number one. but yeah, the animation wasn't planned very well and that wasn't my real effort...

anyway, thanks. i'll try better.

[Halo Reach - Clay Trailer]

well done

it was a good claymation, very solid movement. I thought it had good "direction" the scenes were well planned out. You definitely knew what you were doing. Keep up the good work.

one thing to work on is length, and sometimes there weren't any sound effects which clashed with the parts that did have them.

mattuiop responds:

thanks. I do agree with you. I originally it did it for a deadlined school project
(long story why I did such a sad thing) so I did kinda rushed it in some areas!
I did get a B for it!
Anyways. thanks dude! :D

[Quincy]

I can't believe I forgot to review this :P

first of all. It was funny, second of all the animation was REALLY smooth, third of all it had good flow. One complaint is that once or twice the animation was a bit wierd, but that's all. I hope to see some more of your stuff ;D

P.S. best ending ever, now I know that there won't be a sequel :D ...unless...

fluffkomix responds:

no zombies.

[One Cold Christmas]

hey, your thing rocks

I love it. Sure the audio quality is meh, it's still funny though. The best thing about it is the art and animation, it is just wonderful.

MrAbnormal responds:

thanks dude

[CW: Down to earth Pt1]

just a question...

is this a series or something? I've seen quite a few tournament or whatever series like this with the same art style. I've also seen some comics. But what confuses me most is the flash backs and the stuff where they talk about earlier events. Where can I actually see the whole series or whatever?

good movie btw, animation, comedy, story all A+ stuff.

Zeurel responds:

Just click the dA button on the preloader, everything will be in muh gallery.

Cheers!

[URG advertisement]

I loved it

it had great "directing" (if that's how you spell it) everything went smoothly. The animation was pretty awesome. The art is pretty good. The little things like the shining candy and the darkening background really added to it.

I actually thought this one was one of your guy's best.

Also the voice acting finished this to almost be professional. I mean the art isn't perfect, but it doesn't need to be.

MarcyVF responds:

Thanks man :) one of our best? Nah... but thanks lol.

[Happy Birthday K-Guare!]

this is awesome

and happy birthday as of a long time ago K-guare. Oh, and happy birthday as of quite a while ago magical zorse.

Magical-Zorse responds:

You're awesome

[The Fab Collab!]

wow

I was surprised. This was a long entertaining collab. It had about 10 minutes worth of entertainment.

the effort and animation was very visible. At first I thought this collab was just a joke. But really it has alot of inspiring animators I hope to see in the future. I give it a thumbs up and some candy.

K-Guare responds:

Might I add, turtleco, you've really improved since
when you've first contributed to this collab.
I'm very happy, and proud to have helped contribute to
your artistic abilities. I hope to see some of your
own flashes and art in the portal as well sometime,
I'm looking forward to it. :]

Cheers, mate. Thanks for doing
possibly more work than I did on this very collab.
kg. <3 :]

(Wow, I didn't know you could review something
you were co-authored in. Lol. :])

[S13 - I Want It! Syndrome]

coolio

I understood it. It's funny because it is hard to translate from russian to english because a lot of the words just don't translate. It was great. It was long, funny, and it had a message in the end.

Nightwayfarer responds:

translating realy was hard, that why i needed to use Adam :)
i just don't have other english-speaking friends on steam and other clients... poor me :B

[iGot No iPhone]

amazing

I watched it twice so far, anyway, just by the title I knew it was awesome. It was a great song, the animation was great, and how it was presented was godly. It was hilarious.

Sh0T-D0wN responds:

:D.
