Ozone's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Life Of Lenny Episode 1: Newgrounds!]

Using RPG Maker and calling it an animation is as lazy as lazy can get.

[Practice 2]

I can't speak on Flipnote animations as I don't use Flipnote to animate.

However, the quality is greatly reduced by using Flipnote. You have to rely on lines to show blurs and when your pen tool makes your lines too big and not clean it doesn't look very good. I do like the fighting choreography though.

[Jerry and Lucky in a saturday morning]

I find it funny that the doll had more detail than the child playing with it.

Since this was made last year I have no clue how much you have improved so I'll just say keep things consistent. I saw what looked to be earth and then the bottom of it exploded. "Oh, Antarctica exploded." I thought to myself as that is where the explosion happened on the drawing of the planet. Nope! It was Alaska. The story was shaky as I didn't understand what was going on. Why did the sister have a weird green potion? Why did the brother want it? The humor was ok and all in all it was an OK animation.

Kowproductions responds:

lol yeah i know there was a lot of mistakes on this one and i apprciate the honesty and i hope i improve in the future

[What is in a Krabby Patty?]

You need to improve on your lip syncing and audio work. Plus the animation was severely lacking. You have only animated the Manatee's moving with a motion tween and everything else besides people lips were frozen solid.

Personally, I didn't find it very humorous or funny as there was no joke being made here. The only way I figured out you joke was by connecting the title to the video itself. I don't think anyone is going to tear you apart for making a bad joke about killing of manatees.

Work on animation and humor.

[A christmas with the Firats Cocellis (Translate) *ORIGINAL : Un noël avec les Firats Cocellis]

"Un noël avec les Firats Cocellis"
Pros:
-You finished the animation.
-You made me half smile at the beginning. Sadly that is all I can give you for this movie.
Cons:
-Not fully translated. Your general audience on New Grounds won't understand French and will need those subtitles to get them through the video.

- I don't judge art styles as everyone draws differently. I do, however, judge animation. You animation wasn't clean or smooth. This took me back to my days using Windows Movie Maker.

-Your story made sense for only a fraction of a second. So when Cocellis was young he used to eat shit. That made me kind half smile, but then he made a snow man and the snow man was evil for some reason or another and chased Cocellis for awhile, but then Facebook showed up and punched the snowman who kills Facebook man with laser eyes. When Cocellis finally gets away he finds himself in a house with a strange women who sings something in French. Since the subtitles stopped before this point we'll never know what she says unless I retake French class. Suddenly she turns out to be evil I think?

Conclusion:
BLAM!
If you finished the subtitles I might have give this a 2 or 1.5.You have a lot to work on.

firatcocelli responds:

Thank you for your feedback. So basically, to make a quick resume of the story: Firat Cocelli was a kid that used to have no friends because he had a kind of ''crap fetishes'' so then when he grown up he builds a snowman to feel less alone. The problem is when he puts a hat on top of his head, the snowman became somehow evil and then want to kill Firat Cocelli. Being chased by his own creation, he decided to go to her motherhouse by running/traveling all over the place to escape the snowman. When he arrived to her mother house, he realised there was nobody in there until she appears by no where in front of him. She sings to his son : '' Hey my lover Firat. what are you doing here ? It's Mommyx5 that will always be there for you. Tell me what do you want, I'll do everything for you''. Then her voice change into a evil voice which can actually means it's the snowman where he said ''What do you want son of a b****''.

NOTE:
- The animation named '' A christmas with the Firats Cocellis'' because her mother is actually Firat Cocelli but in different pics. I draw the hair and eyes to make it more feminine.

My intention by posting this it's not to show my skills of making animation but it was more like a test (I should precise it in the title earlier). I know the animation is not fully translated which is a big issue, but I'll take fully attention if I have to make another animation. As for the making of the animation, you're right :P I use Window Movie Maker and Paint to make this, that's why my work is not the most artistic work. Thank you very much for you response

[GAME GRUMPS ANIMATED: WHHHHHHY?!?!]

"GAME GRUMPS ANIMATED: WHHHHHHY?!?!"
Pros:
-You finished the animation.
-Great color choice for scene and the character design was awesome. I liked how ghost Danny looked.
-No issues with sound
Con:
- I don't judge art styles, but I do judge animation! You use tweens for your animation and it works. Although with movements such as Danny getting hit by the arrow and falling to the ground fast enough to break the sound barrier is kinda hard to ignore. You can even use tween to animate him falling. I know how much of a pain frame by frame can be.

Conclusion:
I give it 3.5 stars
This was great! I love Game Grump animations and yours is a welcome addition to the hall of GG animations. Keep up the great work!

[Food Heaven]

"Food Heaven"
Pros
- You finished the animation.
-Nice voice acting! You play a great, funny little girl.
- Funny content that surprised me at the end and made me smile.
Cons
- Not spoiling the ending, but some character design looked off.

Conclusion
I give this a 2.5
I don't judge people animation art styles, but in this it was kinda confusing at certain points. PM me if you want more. Other than that. I laughed and the ending was great! Gotta love comedy.

[Sex Advice]

"Sex Advice"
Pros:
-Finished the animation. I've seen a few grump animations that don't even try and it's refreshing to see.
-Funny interpretations with great character motion! I loved the eyes popping out!
-Helpful sex advice from the grumps. Always useful
Cons:
-This might just be your signature animation style. However the lines aren't clean and you can see the lines wobble. Might just be the way you do you so no points off here.
-You kinda dipped your toe into the color with Dan for certain shots and then quickly pulled out. Here's my extremely biased opinion: If your going to color the animation go all the way with it.

Concussion
Giving it 3 stars
Besides the spontaneous color this was a great animation and fun to watch. You made me laugh at a scene that original i had halfheartedly chuckled at. Good job!

gamegrouches responds:

Wow, Very thoughtful response!! Like you deduced, the wobbling effect is something I added purposefully! thanks for not docking me there! It's a very fair thing to feel a little cheated to have some really nice colored parts, only to go revert to uncolored images. I'm working my way toward efficiently coloring! I try to make one animation a week, so I tend to rush.

Anyway, I sincerely appreciate the time you took to write all of that, and I promise to improve on everything you mentioned! Thank you again !

[Not a dog, not a cat]

"Not a dog, not a cat"
Pros:
-Finished the animation ...Kinda... Maybe? It looks like a animatic so it's hard to tell.
-Great voice work and funny little ditty at the end.
-Made me smile
Cons:
-Looks incomplete.
- I don't think I'm tasting this humor properly.

Conclusion:
I give you a 2.5
Not quite complete, not quite terrible. It's a gaaaat.

[Suburban Haze - Clip]

"Suburban Haze"
Before I began my review I'm going to point out that I am reviewing the animation portion of this video. The music was nice, but I review animation not music. If someone from audio would like to review the music it would be much apprenticed.

Pros:
-The animation ran for the entire song and didn't end abruptly. It also looked pretty good and needed some brushing up at very few points.
-Trippy animation is hard to do and you pull it off fairly well.

Cons:
-I understand the difficulty that comes with animating people who play instruments. However practicing the movements of actual musicians helps a ton. Guitarist don't just strum over and over and they change chords with their other hand. I also listened really close and from 0:15-0:20 and the drummer isn't hitting anything yet.

Conclusion:
I give this a 3.5 out of 5
This was a big project I could tell. The amount of effort that went into this probably took some time out of meanpaul's life. The cons pretty much sum up everything I had wrong with the video. Personally I liked the music and found that the animation complimented it a certain parts (The mouth scene for example).
