PolishMatt's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

AWESOME.

I always love the sketchy looking Flashes like Salad Fingers, sort of disappointed you killed the cat but meh.. good animation, could of used a bit more movement in all the scenes though, it was like looking at 10 pictures, but cause of the sketchiness, it looked like there was more movement, good job on the Flash.

[Apartment in Space]

Awesome.

Made no sense but it had good animating and I liked it for no reason what so ever. Keep it up.

[Stupid Halloween Joke]

Awesome.

That was better then most high ranked stuff for today. Great animating and voice acting, keep it up.

[Short for Halloween]

That was amazing!

Wow, I'm very impressed by the Flash, you done a great job at it.. Keep up the good work!

[juice (.)]

AWESOME

I loved it. Short movies are the best.

[Legend of Luik]

Not bad.

Well I heard you are trying to be a better animator so here are some tips, and I'm not exactly a professional either but I do a lot of flash and seen pretty much every Flash on this site since 2000 so I have a pretty good idea what looks good or not. Anyways, try not use the 'Linear" type of colouring when filling in stuff, it just doesn't look professional and looks like you are trying to cut corners and time.

Just shade it a bit, might take a bit longer but you will be greatly rewarded. Also, try not to use thick lines, it simply doesn't look good. Try to hand draw some more and less motion tween and if it's too hard, use it only then or when trying to move things that don't really have much movement like backgrounds or zooming in (The idea is to try not make it too obvious you used it).

When you have draw things your not too great at, you might want to zoom in a bit more and show what you are good at. Hmm, I will stop at that, and I wasn't trying to insult you or anything, just feedback and tips! the animation it self wasn't bad (along with the music) but you might want to work a bit more on it. Good work and keep it up!

Well, as I stated this cartoon was made over the process of two years, and a great deal of improvement was made over that time, especially in the last 6 months, So a lot of What I learned is not reflected in this movie.

The Thick Vs Thin lines is definitely something I've gotten a handle on recently. I learned most of the dangers of motion tweening during my earliest flash submissions 3 years ago and I can assure you that any mistakes you saw were not a dependence of motion tweens, but just a limit on the amount of consistant drawings I could make (Particularly the sword fighting scene). I only just last year started using frames and shapes to assist my sketches.

[A Gamer & Resident Evil 4]

Holy Fucking Shit

I honestly "Laughed Out Loud" and nearly "Rolled On The Floor", that was soo good! the animation wasn't the greatest.. (it was pretty bad) but that's what made it half funny. LoL! puts a plant in front of the door and keeps the zombies stuck!, would of never thought of that.

[Bubblegum]

Hmm

I agree chewing gum is annoying but it just wasn't funny and your animation just sucked. Sorry.

[Over Nine Thousand Licks]

LOL

Dragonball Z, classic line and a great episode : D

[The adventures of Baxter]

Brutal.

That was nice, try to animated the movement of legs a bit better next time. It sort of looked retarded.
