TinkerJet's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[: Black Hollywood :]

Truth!

One thing I also like that you did, (forgive me if I'm reading too much into it) but you made Foamy a lot calmer than I've seen him in previous episodes. He's usually angry, swearing, back-talking and about ready to sock you one if you make a single comment good or bad... but Foamy did a good job not only keeping his cool... but actually being able to address the issue and articulate himself in a conversation that didn't call for too much snappy thinking or hostility. He also kept it highly entertaining and relevant. (I totally blame the voice for the entertainment value though.)

But yeah. ;D Foamy just proved he isn't a stereotype either. Well done, Foamy. Well done!

Keep up the good work. If you ever need more voice actors for whatever reason, you know where to find me. ;D

[Real World - Music Video]

After reviewing some comments on your other video.

I would really like to say straight up that you're way better than I can ever hope to be. But I would still like to try and critique where I can.

You did well with transitions and some of the effects were very well done. Some seemed a bit more simple but it didn't effect the quality of this piece in the least.

The only thing that bothered me slightly was the walk cycle where the characters (during one sequence inparticular) appeared to put out one leg then slide instead of stepping/walking.

The only other bother was the walking even... they seemed to be 'flat'... for lack of a better way to describe it... because people move when they walk... they DO tend to bob a little bit... at least from what I witness. Still, I recognize that it's easier to animate a character walking on the spot than across the screen.

The music piece was very well chosen and I quite enjoyed the rest of it... but you need to put some more time into the finer details... because for some people, it can really irk them.

Have no fear though! I still review at a nine and vote at a full-five. =) You have potential, my friend and I don't doubt you put a great amount of time into this. But some time reached out to the finer details can really do wonders. ^__^

Take care and keep up the fine work!

[History of an Animation]

If Jojovill lost to anything, I'm glad it's this.

Haha. I know I'm a bit late here but on the same day your animation acheived front page, Jojovill episode five was Daily Second. Not that I think it's the greatest animation around but I was curious to see what it lost to. Let me just be first to say... I'm glad it was you and your very inspiring animation that it lost to.

The transitions were amazing. The whole thing was planned beautifully. And while the lighting could've been better in some places, you still did really, really well!

Here's a shout-out from a voice actor who hath seen many-a animation... but quite possibly, none quite as intriguing.

Take care! And keep it up!

Jasmerrin responds:

Wow. That was a very thoughtful, very kind review. Thank you very much for your advice - I did the best I could with house lights, windows, and cardboard, but I'll try to get some more lighting experience before my next film (my next one that incorporates live action, that is). Anyways, I really appreciate that you both liked my movie and took the time to tell me so. Thanks!

[Vice Faction: Episode 9]

Nice... Very nice!

Not as good as the last episode but voice actors seem to be getting more in character so that's a good sign. Though, P3RFECT, honey, you seemed a bit emotion-confused at times. XD Be careful with that.

Other than that, I swear, I'll say it again, Ryker's voices for the win. XD Too perfect are the choices you made for Ryker.

I can't wait to see episode ten onward dubbed and more animated episode pieces on Lifepoint1. Who knows? I might even join the Lifepoint1 bit eventually... But for now, I'm just humoured from where I stand with the characters I currently voice even if I don't reappear that often.

You animate a lot better than I do... not that, that's saying much but you have some real talent. Put in the time and don't let people make you feel rushed. Once everything is detailed and animated nicely, it'll look exquisite. Be sure to hang onto the original .FLAs though incase eventually you might want to edit the lip syncing or otherwise.

Music for some of the past episodes as well as sound effects had a habit of being so much louder that they'd overpower the voice actors. It looks like you now have that under control. They actually sound a bit more on par and you can understand what everyone is saying.

That's really all I have to say. Well done. Keep 'em coming!

[Onmitsu - Prologue]

Very nice animation style!

That's a very nice animation style... very animesque...

I can't wait to see episodes -- don't let the animation get lazy... and maybe give me a few pointers eventually. ;)

[Vice Faction: Episode 8]

You're getting better!

Haha... I've already watched the unvoiced episodes back on LifePoint1. You really DO improve every episode.

As for this episode, with the new Voicing Director, it seems things are really falling into place. I'm not too fond of the new Chalondra (just because she sounds a bit muffled... might just be an issue of quality) but the best part of the whole episode was hearing Ryker for the first time. XD Ryker's voices for the win!

Anyways, keep up the good work and if you need another Voice Director, you know where to find me. =P (Yes, I finally joined NewGrounds!)
