CaptainGregginz's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gee Sonic: Sonic Boom]

Gee Sonic, what's the deal with airline food?

Wonchop responds:

He hates it, but he's more angered over how Grounder doesn't have a movie.

[Game Grumps 3d #01]

Such a great moment, I love it when they start getting more and more pissed with each other in certain episodes. It's always funnier when they actually Grump around. This is really well done, the lip sync is spot on and the little things like certain finger wiggles and exaggerations fit so well for the two. More plox.

Esquirebob responds:

Ask plox and it shall be returned upon the.

[Prostitute Mickey 4]

Ahhh Appsro...

You silly bastard. Although your animation isn't too fantastic, what really makes you cartoon's shine is the voice work and writing. Ever since I saw the first Prostitute Mickey, I've been hooked on your work and I love nearly every single one. My only complaints are these, the animation itself and the sound quality. Your animation doesn't seem to have improved that very much, a lot of the mouthing for characters is awkward looking and very pixelated Mickey, like you drew them with a mouse and shaky hands. Foghorn had great animation though but it seems like you reused some old footage of Mickey from the prior 3 cartoons and edited them in. The sound quality is pretty poor given how you and the co-writer of this piece have great impersonations of these characters. I guess it's your recording program or where you are recording. Try using Wavepad, it's a great recording program and I'm pretty sure it's free. Plus it isn't some shit program like Audacity that fucks up the recording when you try to turn it into an MP3. Appsro, you are a very talented person but you still have some rough edges around you with your work that needs improving but the good thing is I don't think you have to worry about your writing dieing down because you've gotten funnier and funnier as you go along. Cheers.

Jonnyethco responds:

Eh, in all fairness I have to compress the audio along with the video to flash to get it on newgrounds. (because I animate in After Effects) If you want to hear better quality then check it out on youtube.

As far as my skill, I'd suggest you watch some of the later episodes of "Doraleous and Associates" the episode titled "The Battle of Hyleria" is a good one. Google it.

[Gamer Tonight Indie Dev]

Tastes like Success

GT is BACK! Great to see you doing this again RubberNinja. Not that you don't make other great flash toons but the GT series is probably my favorite cartoons you've done. You're animation is so great, it's so smooth looking and your style is so fun looking. Pretty much everything said in this is the truth of Indy games turned big. I want more animations from you dude, MOAR. In any case, great job. Cheers.

RubberNinja responds:

Cheers bro, glad you enjoyed it!!

[Gone Too Far Too]

Stone Dead Already

You've gone a long way since the first Gone Too Far. To place the both of these animations together shows how much you've improved in just 2 years time. The animation was smooth, colorful and overall just fun to watch. You're frame by frame work is fantastic and the attention to detail is stunning. The lead Zombie was a show stealer whenever he showed his greasy mug and his dancing was a great way to show how well you can animate. One thing that drives me crazy with some animation is shadowing and when they highlight a certain part of a face or body part, the highlights stay in the same place even when they move away from the source of light. You did a great job and I'm so glad you worked hard on this piece from beginning to end without dumbing down the animation to finish it faster.

What really drew me into the whole piece is the Wolfboy's facial and body features and his immediate reactions to everything. I also love the fact that of his mask, his eyes are the only thing that show expression whilst the mouth is always frowning (but even if his mouth was showing, I don't think he'd smile at all from the events he's encountered). One thing I want to know is why Wolfboy is so ripped looking. Isn't he like a 12 year old kid trick or treating? Was he born with a 6 pack? It doesn't take away from the great animation and shows how well you can outline bodies but it's weird to see young kids that put slobby dudes like me to shame haha. Anyway, I am hoping for the final part of this series and that you keep working hard on your animation. Cheers.

DonkeysBazooka responds:

wow, thanks!

yeah, while drawing the kid, i noticed i was making him pretty damn muscular. had to keep reminding myself that it's a kid in a costume. so maybe the outfit he was wearing had padding in it or something. thats the bull-shittiest excuse i could come up with

[Ransom!]

You know something...?

I really liked this. Short, sweet and to the point. The animation was not too great but it wasn't bad for your first time at flash so kudos to you for that. The audio was good except for the sound of the second kidnapper. The quality wasn't as clear sounding as the other voices and when he shouts his first grunt, it sounds like he got way too close to the mic and really distorted the grunt. Don't shout too close to the mic. Like stay at the most, like for a USB mic, 6 inches at max. The mic should be able to pick you up without the sound of being too far away and everything is good. Keep the cartoons coming, I want more!

zigilante responds:

You heard it too! I actually requested that he rerecord, but we were on a tight deadline and he was unable to do so. That is a good tip on the mic distance. Thank you!
