DasModel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[PALADIN episode 3]

Much better

The first two were good but this amped it up tenfold. First off, the music choice was far, far better. The animation was smooth and the graphics detailed. The story was clearer and more developed, and the action less repetetive. Can't wait for four.

[SOAD - Cigaro]

Thought you missed the point...

...at first, but as the video went on I realized that you do seem to get the point of the song. Some of the random stuff was very funny. I have to say some of the animation wasn't that great, things just floating around tweened together, but for the most part the animation was good so congradulations you get an 8 from some guy you've never seen before.

[Captain Capitalism]

Funny

I just reviewed the second one. I did prefer the politics in that one because it stuck to the systemic problems rather than the same old (although very true) allegations about WMDs, Halliburton, and so on. But this one took off as soon as CC jumped in and made his speach on censorship and how increadibly ridiculous and nonsensical it is (although that is the exact opposite of what he was saying). I think it was mostly the fact that the kids were there. I really can't be sure why it was so funny. It just was.

Congradulations

Congradulations, you managed to make a statement without preaching or taking pointless stabs at disposable politicians and their nuances. And on top of that, you were actually funny while doing it. I think it's much better to attack ideologies than people, and you pull it off very well in this. The animation is recycled throughout the whole thing but really that just adds to its comic book feel, and the music fit perfectly.

You're nuts

Did you spend every waking our since the last Brakenwood animating this?! You are an impossibly good animator and artist. The music fit very well and I don't even know how you managed to do half of the effects such as the clouds at the end and the glare of the sunlight. Obviously much of this is frame by frame, there is no other way the shading was so completely spot on with the lighting in the scenery, and as always your animation is smooth and lifelike. The length of this one was also very impressive, especially considering the quality of the artwork. The only thing I can really fault you on is storyline, which is just there as an excuse to create such beautiful animation. However your writing is growing more complicated and the ending does leave me wanting more (and not just so I can gawk at the artwork).

[JTHM - FO]

Sorry...

...I would have given this a higher score if it weren't so obvious that nearly all the images were traced directly from the comic. For that reason I had to give you a zero for style. Also, JTHM and Reel Big Fish just do NOT mix at all. Don't get me wrong, I dig your sense of dedication. You did a fairly good job of tweening the images and bringing them to life, and this obviously took a great deal of work. And Vasquez deserves the props. But you'd honor him so much more by making your own material with inspiration from him than by a mere copy such as this. Keep up the good work!

[All NG Fads Die!!! 3!!!]

Pretty good

Not very funny but it is good to see somebody trying to put an end to all the horrible fads that creep up here (except Salad fingers, he's awsome). Only one real beaf. NO LIMP BIZKIT EVER AGAIN EVER! For the love of god!

MACception responds:

GOD DAMMIT! I'm so sick of people hating the Bizkit. I think i've finally snapped, i love the Bizkit, but i know not everyone can, so shove it if you've got a problem.

(Thanks for liking everything else though...)

[Negative 001 - The Call]

Well done

Of course this doesn't reveal much story so I can't comment much on that, but I did like they way this came across. You did a good job of using multiple "camera" angles and the animation was quite smooth. The audio worked pretty well. The voice acting was above average but something did seem to be off with the audio quality. I think it was mostly in the balance of volume, which is increadibly difficult to get right. Graphically speaking the only thing that you could improve would be adding a little more shading, but that's only if you want to take five times longer on each episode.

[Ordinary Conversation]

I like your style

You have a very distinct way of animating, even though it's kinda ripped off of anime. Anyway, I like the fact that much of it is actually frame-by-frame. This was also funny. The audio is like what Home Movies should be but rarely is.

[Renaissance]

Well done

Very intelligent. The ending was the greatest, dropping the latte. Great concept.
