coltenseamans's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[NEUROSI5]

The visuals in here are amazing, but it didn't hold my attention. I found myself being done with a shot early on and clicking ahead to move on to the next one. I think it'd work for me if the song was something with more energy, or if this were an intro to a movie I was sitting down to watch. But anyways, want to add that this is a really awesome first animation and I'm looking forward to the next one!

This was therapeutic on top of being funny. I don't know what the last two images were, didn't get that, but a well structured and topical cartoon right here!

[If The Office Took Place In South Park]

This was really fun. Like others said, great job replicating the style!

In terms of improvements, I think the shots start to feel stale. If this were to go beyond being bored/an exercise I could see creating an additional background asset and set of rigs of the characters from the side to add variety. On a simpler note, pulling the camera in tighter or farther away as well as putting the characters off center would help things feel dynamic.

I didn't completely understand it, but I did really feel it with the piano and the scribbled lines. I thought the timing of it all was good, and that rotation you did had quite the effect. Like we were stuck for so long looking straight ahead and once I got used to that, the world kind of became more real and was no longer flat on paper with that rotation. I can't think of how to describe the feeling, but it took me back and that was dope.
