Paper-SFX's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Final Fantasy A+]

A nice movie

Not being a fan of final fantasy, I have trouble enjoying this film, and don't really get the humour, nor do my knees go queezy at the sound of Japanese voices.
But you have to recognise the amount of effort put into this animation, and I can enjoy it for It's great drawings, so well done on that department.
Although it kinda gets let down when they battle with the old school final fantasy style, abit too simple.

Overall this animation was well made where you can see alot of time has been spent creating it, but i feel this dosen't appeal to all people, as i feel you have to be a fan of final fantasy to enjoy it.

[Amateur Time Attack 1]

A nice collection

I'll write a single review for each.

-Lord Snox- 7/10
The best part about this animation were the voices which i thought were well delivered, especially the *cuss* words. The expressions were quite good for stick men too :)

-Spherous- 6/10
Some nice sound effects and the effects such as the drawn explosions looked quite nice.
Although the movie was a bit too random for my liking.

-FrostRino- 7/10
Quite an odd film, but pritty cool anyway. I liked The faded colouring at the end with the cats, but why are there cats having a tea party in his garden!? But what can I say, you picked an excellent choice of music.

-ArtistJ- 9/10
I have to say this was the best one, he must of drank alot of caffeine to finish this in the time allocated :). The drawings of the spiral staircase, TV, perfume and the City were very good. I think you should have spent more time drawing his mobile phone though - it looked like a piece of paper ^^.

-Overall- 7/10
A nice little collection of animations.

[The Icecream Machine]

Great expressions!

This was great 5/5 and added to my favourites list!
The smooth flowing animation is it's greatest feature, not great humour, but the characters expressions and movements (especially when he got hit in the stomach whith the ice cream) made it enough to make me laugh out loud.
The voice was well recorded too.
Congratulations, i'll look forward to seeing more!

[Draw Like A Pro]

How to draw or how to copy?

If you're using pictures as reference as you said, it means to look at others drawings and adapt it into your own style; or draw that figure in other poses.
One thing that annoyed me was the part where you had suddenly added shadows in without saying why you have put the shadows in where you did, do you know why the shadows are where they are or was that just how they looked on the picture you copied.(Also i have no idea what you mean by convert to MC)
Copying pictures is easy enough for most people but creating original drawing is what requires a tutorial.
Sorry but this dosen't strike me as a tutorial; more like an idea you came up with to try and show off a few drawings.

Nice drawings though:)

KorteX responds:

Well thats what most peoples art styles come from, adapting other styles and making them uniqe to your own.But ill try another tut with my own stuff and ill be more elaborate.

Some great effects

I thought this movie was really good, i don't know why it's scoring lower than 3 (at the moment).
The part i liked the best was the way you did some of your effects; for example the way you did the dust as the ship landed, i thought that was well created.
Good job, i'll be watching parts 2 and 3. :)

5-7 responds:

Thanks a lot... and belive me, i don't know why this score too

[Pencilmation #1]

I really liked this!

Wow this was great, really original and creative.
The interaction between the scene and the pencil was Great!
Good job, hope to see more like this.

[Peoplemation: Spin]

Like Something Pixar Would Create

A Great PeopleMation animation, it looks as though alot of effort when into creating this.
It's cool how you managed to give the fans a personality, reminds me of an animation Pixar would create.

1 Question - Do you have a quicktime version, or just a better quality version for download on a website perhaps? - Hard to tell what was going on sometimes, alothough thats the 5mb limits fault.:)

I hope this ends the Clay animation trend which is getting really boring...

Dustball responds:

Thanks. Tell you what... watch the through the 3 credits and there is a link to a better better quality version on our website! ;)

[NG Deathmatch 1(1/2)]

Great Animation but....

There is no denying this is a well made animation where you've obviously put alot of effort into.
After watching this i went back to check out your previous animations, and i have to say i much prefer your older clay animations (the blue models).
They were so much more original and with a unique style, the way the characters were created made the animation alot funnier too.
But anyway this is cool too. :)
