DasModel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[VB-Failure as a Prankster]

I gave you a 3

But you would have gotten a 4 if the animation were better and you had a better mic. This one has some potential. Just take a little more time on your flash.

[TMNT: REBEL 3]

Damn you

These are funny but what secret scene? Did you disable the tab cheat you prick? Oh well. That was good and I liked the graphics.

[Pipboy's Safety Video]

Would have given you a 3/5

But just too short. And really these kinds of things should just be animations instead of slideshows (although that was probably part of the assignment). Also could have used sound. You have potential.

[Red Riding Hood]

By far your best

I thought I knew your style, but this was such a drastic leap in talent that I had no idea this was you until the credits began to role. Alien Report doesn't even come close, and Valhalla Knights was an improvement but I didn't think it would lead to this. The only things that can possibly compete with this are Xombie and Brackenwood, and for now I'd say you've got them beat. Your artistic skills are still a little below them, but your skills for timing and "cinematography" are unparalleled at this point. About the only thing you need is an original score.

[Wonchop's Halloween 05]

Weird

I was watching through all your old animations. I was expecting to see a smooth learning curve going from the random montages of sketchy drawings to your current style. Boy was I suprised. The jump in quality was instantaneous, and it started right here. Good job. I can't believe it only took you two days. Not pure genious or anything, but good.

Wonchop responds:

Erm...actually it was a random montage of sketchy drawings. NG just jumbles up the 'other submissions' bit sometimes.

[Time Squad [Part 1]]

Big change for you

Where the fuck did this come from? You totally switched genres.

Story looks interesting so far. Now that your animation is more serious, this could use an update as far as graphics and perhaps some more dramatic "camera" angles. The voice acting could use some touch-up. Some of the things which seemed like they should have been more heartfelt weren't. There were also a few irritating cliche's, like "We're on the menu." However, overall this looks very interesting. Keep it up.

The-Swain responds:

Haha, the cliche dynamic is deliberate. I've taken so many played themes and thrown them into the same movie that the only things I've left untouched are the ones that will show up in Part 2.

Lines like "Where are we? - And more importantly is WHEN?" Come on, that's '80s gold. The dialogue is gonna be even better in the second one assuming you like cheesy '80s garbage.

But you're right on the camera angles. It's tough when I have to draw a new pose for a character every few seconds out of a 10-minute film, but I am gonna find ways to "cheat" in part 2 and make it very dynamic. With that in mind, consider your suggestion noted and agreed with.
