CiviLies's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kenshi]

Goddamn, it's amazing to see how far you've come in terms of animation. This clip was slightly choppy, but wow you've really improved. Well done!

[Jack Frost The Cat!]

It's not bad. Animation is pretty decent but voice acting and and sound effects could be better. The music is alright.

[Return to the Playhouse]

The best Alfred video, yet. The best animation quality of any Alfred video, yet. To think this was still animated by you... Damn, you've improved. Seriously great work!

[the new sonic song]

Heh, this managed to make me smirk. Not too bad...

Animation is somewhat sloppy. Voice acting was dumb. Overall it was a bit messy. But I liked it. It was a funny mess. Often times the "omgee luk at me im so randumb" type of humor gets on my nerves but it worked out decently in this video. No doubt the potential in you for bigger, better animations is strong. Just keep working at it, and you'll go far. Good luck.

[Over 9000 Views Yay]

I'm sorry, but I didn't find the punchline original enough or innovated on in any way to be humorous. The animation was also rather choppy. You gave it a shot, though, and I have no doubt in my mind you'll be able to improve your future animations to run smoother and/or become funnier. You definitely have potential, you just need to work hard practicing your skills to tap into it.

Thanks for the review. :D
This is rather cliche, I certainly won't disagree with that. I made this a while ago, so my animation has improved since then.

[Numb - Linkin Park]

I'm sorry, but I can't even begin to express in words how lame this video looked. So lemme just sum it up like this:

This video looked really, really lame. Standing in a room, throwing your arms around with a couple of Kirbys (that apparently you didn't come up with? Are these sprites not yours? You just chucked them into the video?) placed awkwardly to side while doing an occasional cut to a black Kirby on a white background hardly makes for a music video at all let alone a good one. I mean, what was the point of this video? I get not everything has to have a message, but was there...ANY point in this project other than "lul im bored ill maek a mv"?

Did you want to show off your animation skills? Then why limit yourself to just a few Kirbys doing the same damn things throughout the video? Even if your animation skills are limited, you should have used this project as an opportunity to expand them.

Did you want to show off your lip-syncing skills? I would have you given you a couple stars if you could actually sing the song.

Did you purely want to see how a website dedicated to the art of animation would react to a mostly-non-animated video? Well, here you are. While your video has SOME animation in it, it's 90% non-animated, so it's not going to be well-received.

I mean, you gave it a shot, but I don't know man, I don't see much value in this video. However, having said all that...

I do see potential. Really, I do--that's what the lone star is for. This video is a shoddy start, but still a start. I DEFINITELY believe you have the potential to make music videos consisting of skilled animations. Entertaining music videos; music videos that will inspire artists to want to animate like you. Just keep practicing your skills and use the real-life footage sparingly AT BEST! Everyone's gotta start somewhere. Here's where you're starting, now let's see where you end up!

[Good Intentions]

I like it, really, I do, I just...found it kinda confusing. The doggy slipped on the same bananer several times--once before and twice after the cat warned him not to slip it on. What was going on there? Are they magic bananers? Was there some mystic time warp? Has the doggy angered and was cursed by The Great Bananers Overlord?
So many mysteries, too few answers. But who cares, as long as we have bananers.

Cute animations and voice acting

[GPS Christmas Special]

To be honest, I was expecting it to be a bit more Christmas-y, but I'm glad just to see any of your work at all--that alone makes for a great Christmas gift! Voice-acting was a little shaky in terms of mic quality (some voices sounded a little muffle), but the animation was great! Could still use some room for improvement, but it's fantastic how far you've come.

[Hand Turkey]

Ah Bill, you come up with the silliest plot twists. I'm really digging it though, and your whole art style is original and great to look at.

[World's Greatest Manwhore]

For a while now, this has been my favorite my favorite series on NG, more than any other. To see it come to a conclusion is sad, but I know it's going to be epic.

This video in particular, while it was shorter than expected, serves as an excellent build up to the coming conclusion, and it has me really excited to see what's in store. Great animation and voice acting as always, and for a comedy series, was surprisingly great at building tension. Woo!

P.S. I borrowed a screencap from you for my avatar, if you don't mind. If you do, can I just name my first child "Fernando SexualLobster Manwhore"? Cheers ;D

Sexual-Lobster responds:

glad you liked it.
