Lalo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bytesize Volume One]

cool

2 twenty second shorts i have seen dozens of times and one new, i like it.

[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

[I like birds...]

Great job but it could had been better.

i liked the concept of the white line and things coming out of it, its great and worked out really well with this song, with all the birds and the cool animations, specially the one in which the humans start becoming older and older as the camera movies right. yet, some drawings could had been much better, more stylish. also, some more sync with the music and more eye-candy would had helped too : )

[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

[Chicken Galoora]

Great!

This was a great movie, it had excellent animation and music! I cant believe you did the music and sould effects yourself! Its AMAZING!!!! Thank you for submitting it to newgrounds :)

Yet, it has many flaws. I cant complain much about the animation, but the backgrounds could had used some work and optimization, specially at the beggining. Also, the fence was badly drawn. you can press shift while painting a brush line to make it perefectly straight. either horizontal or vertical :) Maybe some of the jokes were a bit lame but its a homage so its understandable.

Its a shame this is not getting the attention it deserves. its not your fault, its just that the Ng audience is used to another kind of humor...

hope you get frontpge :D!!!!!!!!!

[What All OldPeople Can Do]

hah, nice!

This one is actually good, just a bit short. its a real shame it has less score than that your dumb flash dancer test, i dont know whats going on with the viewers... it still has quite a high score tho, you shouldnt complain ;) this is no waterlollies.

DonkeysBazooka responds:

ha. ur a dick. thanks though. i'm glad everyone else has a different opinion than you about flash dancer. i put a shitload of hours into that

[EW: Moving Targets]

Great work!

this one was funnier than the other eddsworld movies. some of the jokes were a bit lame but overall it was fonny enough. you got better with the character expressions too! the only bad thing i can notice is the quality of the graphics. you could try and improve them a bit, maybe add some shading ;)

[Flash Dancer]

Nice!

It was funny, Nice way to show your skills. but you still have a long way to go. Hope to see something better from you next time ;) you got skills.

DonkeysBazooka responds:

ok thanks... a long way to go to where?

[Looking For Lucky]

no preloader...

get a preloader first :)

[Base 17 ::03::]

Im amazed :D

This looks very proffesional, more than any other anime series i have seen (which i dont like much by the way, but this one's good enough :D)

You did a great job with the camera angles, and decent work with the character animation, and overall its good, BUT theres much stuff you can improve, like:

- The backgrounds: they are lazily made, like just a couple of lines and solid colors. you should add shadows and details. i specially hated the last backgrounds from this chapter, they were just an open field with solid squares at the background, no real scene. work on them :)

-The character designs: I HATE stereotypical anime characters, and in this case, they all look alike exept for color changes. I wouldnt had complained if they were at least nicely designed, but MOST of your character haircuts are very ugly and lazy. I'm exagerating a bit, i cant help it... but seriously, work a bit more on them.

- Facial expressions: just move the eyes and eyebrows a bit, or make them blink so they dont look so much like robots.

The voices were great, i specially liked the dialogue at the end, it even has a message :) great work, hope to see more from you!

Bubbowrap responds:

Thank youuu! professional is too much for a pauper like me, eh?

...what?

But, thanks; backgrounds, haha. I shall try my best. I've always focused more on the characters, but backgrounds are important too, eh?

xD Somewhat true! Will work on that too.

-Totally agree with this point. Believe me, anything that has to do with character animation will be looked into and/or fixed.

I loved the voices, too! When I received them, I was like, 'Wow. These guys are awesome.'

Thanks again! Unless something large happens, I'll try to put it out before the end of the year!
