UmbraObscurum's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sonic Funeral]

Very well thought out and made with lots of emotion. It gets funnier every time I watch it. Keep up with the good work man!

Ant0on responds:

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it!

[2XXX A.A]

I loved this. I am amazed to see that you did all of this by yourself, which is a huge inspiration. I wish I could collab with you in the future but seeing as you'll no longer be publishing on NG anymore don't know how that would work. At the very least keep your followers (like me) updated on future projects from here.
It's great to see your work on the site again.

[Bloodracuted]

I have no idea what is going on in this video. Not only is the rotoscoping not done well at all, I don't even know what the story is. What is the box for? Why are they laughing? Also the guy never teaches the guy how to play guitar.
When rotoscoping you want the animation to be as smooth and precise as possible, and you want to remove the original clip that you are rotoscoping from. The audio is inexcusable because you can go in and fix the audio so it doesn't clip and sound awful. In order to have a good sounding quality video you record the audio separately from the video. Audacity is a free audio editing program that most people use when making anything that includes audio.
This sort of video wasn't excusable even in the early days of NewGrounds, so next time I recommend not taking only two days to make the video and invest at least a month into it so you come out with a quality video. Also take both advice and criticism from the animators here on NewGrounds like BrandyBuizel, because they know what the hell they're talking about.

It's a box of water connected to electric source, the guy is laughing because its how he responds to everything. The original video was recorded with my canon slr. Don't know if there will be a next time. This was a animation I made 2011.

[One Punchmin]

This was amazing! The animation was smooth the entire way through and all the colors were great. I loved it

[youtube logic]

Repetitive and hard to see who was getting shot to get an idea of who gets fucked over by YouTube, some more work could have gone into it to play the entirety of that portion of the song with more people getting shot than just the few that looped.

KennyAfterlife responds:

Thank you! XD
I understand it is pretty repetitive X)
I'm trying to work on making slower and longer music vids ;)
Thanks for the constructive criticism! :)

[Chara Vs Mettaton NEO]

This was really well made! I especially love how it wasn't made in the traditional "white background, black outlines" but the other way around, it gave the animation a techno-ey feel that works well considering one of the characters was robotic. The special effects having a bright neon color also helped make them stand out even more. All the frames were consistent and I never noticed any technical errors or frame problems. All in all, this was a near-flawless cartoon! Keep at it!

NCH responds:

haha, theres actually a technical error, regarding the direction/flow of scenes where neo first fire his buster cannon shot, and the laser direction is not in the "continuity direction" of the shot in the next immediate scene.

[Scooby's Bizarre Adventure]

Great animation, love the JoJo's Bizzare Adventure reference, great voices, and it's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.
