SnootAnon's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Gazing on the Tail-]

This isn't too bad of an animation. Honestly, the pony (I'm guessing his name is "Losian" judging by the tags) could use some more movement, maybe some head tilting or beckoning the viewer with his hoof he has raised up, but it's still pretty cute. Big swooshy tail is quite hypnotizing tho, it's almost hard to not gaze at it endlessly swirling about. :D

Kassc responds:

The point of animation is for it to be animated, so yeah... I actually need to put the effort and make him move more.
Thanks tho, was a interesting first experiment.

[Spooky School]

Ayy, another animation from you. Nice!

I thought this was pretty good. The animation this time around was a lot nicer when compared to your last animation, and your art style really captures the gritty and spooky style of the school. I also liked how you added background music this time around which definitely helped with making the animation seem less quiet. The voice acting, in my honest opinion, was a bit weird. Jeremy sounded quite alright, but the teacher sounded a bit like a child's impression of a teacher, and the principle in particular was pretty difficult to understand without having to play it though once again, but it's a minor gripe. The ending gave me a chuckle. All in all though, this is a pretty nice improvement from your last animation. Keep up the good work, famalam.

saraphporter responds:

Thanks again for your opinion! I'll keep all that in mind with the next one when its time to record voices.

[T-rex eats a cupcake]

This is a pretty cute animation. The ending was pretty funny as well. It could've used some background music in my opinion, but overall, I quite liked this animation. Great job.

saraphporter responds:

thanks for your input! definitely gonna look into adding music for future projects.

[Animations that show that mothers have superpowers.]

I really enjoyed this animation. It's uncommon to find such wholesome things like this, at least as far as I have seen. The animation was pretty good, and the choice of music was fitting, and helped add to each scene. The blinking sound effect was a bit strange; pitch variations in that sound effect would've probably helped fix that. This was really great overall.

Wow I'm so happy for the critique. I'm still developing and also working on my audio editing skills. Thank you so much sir

[Aiden's Quest Pokemon Adventure!! #1]

I'm guessing this must be your first animation. I'm not going to lie, it wasn't really too good in my eyes, let me explain.

Though the signing to make music was somewhat cute, I think it would have been better if you used music samples from either the Pokémon games, or some samples of royalty free music. Background music usually helps add fullness to a scene that would otherwise seem a bit empty without it.I would suggest snooping around the Audio Portal for some tracks to use for your animation. Make sure they are marked as royalty free or free to use in web animations though. If you are unsure if a track is

I'm not going to complain about your art style, since it seems like you are just starting out with it, although, I will say that your scenes feel pretty empty on a visual level. There is clearly a foreground, but the background is non-existent You should try adding backgrounds to your scenes, such as a sun, or some trees when outside; maybe some computers, desks, and science related stuff when they are in the lab. Scene design is quite important when making animations, as it helps make the area the characters are in more convincing. If you need inspiration or ideas on how to make good backgrounds, try watching some cartoons or animations and pause it every now and then, taking note of what is going on in the background, why it's there, and how everything is placed.

I agree with doggenhausen that your microphone quality is really good, and your voice acting is pretty alright; however, it does all sound like it was recorded in one take in one audio file. Try recording each line as a separate audio file, as this can help reduce awkward pauses of silence in the animation as you ready up what you are going to say next. It's also good practice in general, as it's easier to modify and edit short singular audio files than it is to edit one giant audio file.

Keep these things in mind when you start making the next part of your animation, and I'm pretty sure it'll come out better than this one.

Yes This Is My First Animation

[R.I.P. Fidget Spinners]

I really found this humorous. On a technical level/animation, it's kind of meh, but it does it's job. On a level of making me laugh, I have to say it does that perfectly. It is the best explanation I've heard about the whole fidget spinner phenomena that happened.

Magnificent-Contrapt responds:

That's what the goal was. I'm happy it made you laugh.
