BrandyBuizel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ducktalez 7]

This movie is a great example of someone who know's their limits, but makes an earnest try to improve and does so in many ways over time.

[Pants on Fire | Cinnamontoastken & Pewdiepie Animated]

My biggest gripe with this is that it doesn't add anything to the original audio. After watching 2 minutes of two characters only moving their mouths, facing each other with a couple camera changes, I decided to look at the source material. The video is of PewDiePie sitting across a table from Ken, doing the EXACT same thing.

You might say, "well he drew a naked Ken for the selfie part and threw a pie in his face at the end, that was goofy", but they did that in the video too. They even showed the actual picture of Ken naked.

The reason these "YouTubers Animateds" are fun and interesting is from what the creators imagination can ADD to the audio, while this is just a shot-for-shot recreation of the first two minutes of the original video.

2 stars, it deserves to be in the portal, but leaves way too much to be desired.

Note taken, thank you!

[Power In Red (First Trial)]

It's very choppy for a stick animation, but my bigger issue is that your recorded your screen instead of exporting your movie. It takes away from the only thing happening, what's on screen.

You can upload swf files to NG and NG also has a download for a "swf to mp4" converter called swivel on the site.

Hope that helps.

I tried that but it didn't work

[Force of Nature]

Great work Brewster, a pretty good followup to "Crust" in terms of writing and motion :)

[Crack in my system]

DeadFlyFromMoon responds:

Thank you very much ;)

[Lip Sync Practice]

If you want to practice lip syncing, try looking at a phoneme chart which shows a diagram of general mouth shapes that occur when making certain sounds that then form words. You can find a ton online with a simple google search.
A good way to then test your use of these shapes(in your own drawing style of course) is to use a phrase emphasizing a lot of each sound.

e.g.
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
"Sibilance"(this word highlights several consonant sounds and is used in mic checks)

DovahFeyn responds:

Thank you for the advice. I'll be sure to try it out.

[WELCOME!]

LegacyAnimation responds:

sorry, i just was proud of my first vid won't do this again with a welcome vid.

[Park Bench]

Lovely, it's a little bit cliche but it's done well enough for me to nevermind that.
Great work!
