Chickengirl's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[ZombieMurderExplosionDie]

If you want my honest opinion....

I dunno about this being TV material..maaaybe on Adult Swim..but to me it seems like it be better to be just a web series.

the actual animation....wasn't that great...wasn't very fluid..looks like most of the movements were done with just a few motion tweens in Flash or limited animation in After Effects...it just wasn't that impressive....Then all the stereotype/cliche characters..some of them were funny, like the nerd yelling "lvl 10 zombie" but some of the others were just kinda "ehhhhh" not too funny, nothing very original. The idea of zombie fighting is fun, but I overall I think the animation and writing needs to be better. I know it was just a promo, but it just didn't quite do it for me s'all.

[The Northern Incident]

Give it a 9.5 if I could.....

pretty good stuff, I'm not sure how best to describe it, but the tense/spooky atmosphere was set up really well, but at the same time it was really obvious? I dunno if that makes sense, but there were a lot of shots that felt like they had a special name for it or something...but yeah overall it was pretty good...

and then the ending...was it supposed to be comedic then? Choosing Furries hahaha well they are pretty terrifying, horrible beings so I guess it works.

[Loverboy]

like Jessica Rabbit in a Ren and Stimpy cartoon

that was fun..like I said in the title it made me think of Jessica Rabbit if she was in a Ren and Stimpy Cartoon...it had funky poses/expressions and was gross xB

[Gone Too Far Too]

still great!!

even though you aren't completely happy with it, I thought it was a great piece of animation!! It was well animated, and was entertaining... I mean if I wanna be really nitpicky, yea sometimes the animation looked different with the characters, but I know that is because it was done over a long period of time! but overall it was really awesome!!

[Africa Dudes]

I can't believe I watched that whole thing...

really, I don't know why I did..how long was that? I don't even know? I guess I could have turned it off, but I though something cool would have happened at the end, it got a lil gay at the end, so I guess it was worth it. ;P

the only artist's skit I really cracked up at was Marc M.'s because of the random placement of the intro to Pearl Jam's Jeremy song at the end of each skit cos it was so fucking random.

the character designs were...appealing and fun to look at, but if I'm gonna base my review on the actual animation of it and the content, I can't really give it a high score because there was hardly any animation, and it wasn't super entertaining the entire time, and I don't give a shit if others vote this as a useless review or talk shit to me for not liking something done by the NG celebrities. I don't care if this was supposed to be shitty on purpose I'm gonna review it like I see it, so there.

Was great!! until....

Greay animation, i was really enjoying it until the characters started talking..bad voiceovers can kill an otherwise well-animated piece real fast..

besides that, everything else was great!!

[Tentacle Monster Tribute]

not what I was expecting :(

when I saw the title of this I got excited thinking"omg somebody made a tribute to tentacle monster porn!!?" you can imagine my disappointment when I watched the flash lol. Needless to say it was animated well, so I can't really hate it. ;p

[Vapour]

Interesting concept...but animation lacking...

Very interesting concept..however the character animation was lacking in some parts..especially with the man..it was stiff in some parts..and some more inbetweening could have helped in other parts because it just looked sort of choppy/jarring...

and something about the man's arms bugged me...

but overall it wasn't bad..the Hellish environment looked really nice....

but perhaps you already know of the problems with it since you don't seem to be completely satisfied with it...

[Ransom!]

want a critique huh?

for your first attempt at animation it was pretty good, but obviously not perfect. The humor worked though, I laughed.

but if you want to improve on the animation itself..it looks like you did a cut out animation and not fbf..with cut out animation, the more smooth you want the animation, you either gotta have a lotta nice motion tweening or have lots of puppet parts..I noticed with some of the arm gestures It was one arm piece and then it abruptly cut to another arm piece..so you would need to do some more inbetweening..with cut out animation you'd have to have a piece that would fit inbetween two different poses, like with the arms....so the movement looks more natural..like at the end when the dad clenches his fist it looked with you had 1 frame with his hand opened, and the next frame it was a closed fist..to make it look more smooth you would need a frame in between that of the hand halfway closed.

but yeah that's the biggest critique I can give. needz moar inbetweeining..which is one of the most un-fun parts of animation...

and if you were allready aware of all that..sorry your wasting your time >_>;

zigilante responds:

No, that is some excellent feedback! Very useful! Thank you very much! :)

[Jack Matthews]

aww....I wanna see more....

wait!! we need more!!

I mean if you wanna be nitpicky, yea the anatomy was a lil funky in a few shots, but I think the animation itself was fine!! but if you don't have time to finish it then that's cool I guess.
