Lalo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[What have I become?]

Hilarious and relatable. I am pencil now

TheMartoon responds:

Yes, one of us, one of us < ||||||D

[Motion Portrait: Orient]

wonderful. That 3D window must have been a pain to create! I hope you come up with more of these babies~

deathink responds:

Thanks man, I might make another one sometime.

[Sinmara Saga]

Amazing animation and color. Was this a thesis project?

Jason-H responds:

No I did it in my spare time outside of work. I've been trying to figure out toonshading for the past year or so.

[Pico's Penny Prank]

Coolio

I didnt see any dicks though, you should have put some. It was kinda lame because of that:(

ToonCastleTV responds:

ROFL ! never thoughtid hear that... but i guess this is newgrounds ... :/ ...:P

[Broken Strings]

Good, but slow

You did a good job here, even tho the animation could had been better. also, you OVERUSED the filters and the alphas, the movie just kept getting slower everytime there were dozens of blurred trees, or those power beams the afro thing made that had like 5 layers of transparent thingies... it happened even on low quality. you gotta learn how to balance pretty filters with performance.

on a last note, mexican people use pesos, not euros :) we're no spaniard colony anymore.

inixis-tk responds:

I wasn't particularity to bothered by performance vs filter because the original intension of this piece was to be exported into .mov or .avi so it didn't really matter but online it obviously lagged. Although its a good thing to keep in mind for future online works. Its set in Spain not Mexico so EUROs... I can see where people get confused. Thanks for reviewing :)

[Chris & Harry]

Pretty good

It got boring halfway thru tho. Also, some expressions were a bit lacking... unexpressive. The ending was cool, pretty funny I specially liked the shadows and your excellent use of filters, almost professional :) Good work!

Oney responds:

thanks bra

[I.E.S. ep.1]

Amazing!

Excellent movie, the script was well writen and its nicely animated, the jokes were funny overall and the character designs were cool and not stereotypical or boring :D They did keep me interested... BUT I think they lack some charisma and expression, specially the main guy, he was always with that same tone of voice and face, and that one thing did get me a bit bored. I think you have to work a bit more to define the characters' personalities

Other than that, it was excellent, you did a great work!! Also, a recomendation: In later chapters, you should start adding more side stories, maybe with the dad an mom or their friends etc, you might had tought about it already, but remember to make them good :D thats all. Hope to see more from you!

DeuceNine responds:

I completely agree with you, but I dont wanna rush things in and cram the viewer with characters. I have many characters which I think are interesting lined up.

I knew I recognized that name!... Lalo... we were both fighting the good fight on the first annual Pico Day.

[The Killing Murderer]

Really funny!

You have improved alot in your animation, from your character movements to your backgrounds, they're prettier than ever :) The sound effects were great, very varied. The voices were good too, exept at the end, they lost a bit of emotion there. The lipsyncing was excellent, but the character's expressions could have used some work, they barely moved their eyes or eyebrows, almost seemed like robots...

The only animation mistake i noticed was the background clouds' loop, it suddently stops for half a second and restarts.

Great work here, hope to see more from you ;D

DonkeysBazooka responds:

thanks friend. yeah, i didn't put a ton of effort into the lypsyncing portion. that's why the jock hardly moves his body and i repeat a lot of the girl's animations. all true. could have been made to act a lot more human, but i was lazy and eager to move on.

and shit, that's some eye you've got spotting the error with the clouds... but when i went back and watched it again (focusing entirely on the clouds) i didn't notice the mistake you mentioned, it all ran smoothly.... not really sure why or how that could have happened, it was just a continuous tween across the entire scene.

ah well, anyway, glad to see you're still interested in my work :-)

[Monster's Dream]

HAH, WOW!

At LAST we get something worth of its score! this is excellent, i like the world you just did, it had so much atention in the background details and stuff, it looked very nice :D yet, i wish it was longer and had more stuff going on, it just feels too incomplete. i could easily count the actions in it :(

The music was great, very fitting :) im glad you choose audio portal songs, its great to give NG musicians some spotlight!

i hope to see more from this monster and from you :D you're very good!

animatorjones responds:

woo you said it all, yeah it's a bit short i defintitely feel you there, the next won't feel that way. as for the audio yeah it's surprising how much talent you can find on there? seriously you guys are crazy

but thanks lalo, ill get crackin on the next ones :D

[Sonic: TAO Part 1]

booooring

Another generic sonic-esque hedgehog with a different color as a character, mixed backgrounds from different games, some DBZ sounds, no own art whatsoever, not even custom sprites... this has been done before. and you left it incomplete for no reason since there was no deadline.

try harderrr next time :3 and make it longer and with a better plot.

Akradon responds:

it finished like that for a cliff hanger, so there was a reason. It hasnt been done before, not that I have seen anyway
