BrandyBuizel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stitch City]

The framing isn't bad, but the camera is always so stiff and the zooms make it feel like we're watching a slideshow during some shots. They're sock puppets! Ask yourself why you chose to use sock puppets and how you can best utilize their advantages to plus your film. Make them move! Get a little goofy in the visual presentation and acting to starkly contrast the story and narration(it's a tight line to walk, but you can do it with quick cuts and close ups).

Honestly it's a little surprising that when someone finally does talk out loud on screen you decided to keep their mouth closed shut :/

wOOtist responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep it in mind if I ever use a camera again haha, this project was my first (and since then, last) attempt at directing a live action film of any kind so it ended up a bit unrefined

[The Crimson Fly: Sweater]

cool motion comic, I think the portal needs more interactive media since .zip uploads are enabled. It's really short though and sound would've gone a long way

EDIT: All I know is action script, I'm not sure how the html5 canvas operates, but surely adding sound files to keyframes should still work.

SkipperWing responds:

Yeah, a monthly thing of this length is all I can do between my day job and other alt account. If they pick up more traction, I can make it a bigger priority and do more/longer. Thanks for the feedback!

As for sound, I just don't know how to do it in Adobe Animate's HTML canvas. If you know of any resources, that'd be greatly appreciated! Thank you (and sorry for the added labor)!

[Airplane]

Neat idea done pretty well. a bit disappointing that you fade to black when the cop shows up, could've had some good gags in there!

EDIT: lawl, thanks! Glad you liked it :)

MatthewLemons responds:

Thank you! I agree that it could have been longer with some more jokes in there. Next time I’ll consider the overall length a bit more.

Also Luckyboy was fantastic, just want to toss that out there

[Merry Christmas Mr. Flounder]

Sinistar always warms my heart

Foxcato responds:

Agreed! Sinistar is awesome!

[The Ultimate Showdown Collab]

Like all big collabs, some shots go real hard, some don't, but this is better than the original imo

You don't need 5 minutes of credits for a 5 minute video though

blabberdookie responds:

Being better than the original is a huge compliment, thank you so much. And completely fair criticism on the length of the credits, it's something I definitely have noted.

[BLUE DOG]

underrated content right here, excellent shots and perspctive, crazy visuals

That close up of the dog nose was top notch!

Edit: FINALLY gets the frontpage it deserves!

LeoMC responds:

Thank you my friend!

[Monkey Kicks Trailer]

Not sure what this show/comic/film is about, but I love these character designs. I'd suggest making them do more actions that display their character than generic movements. Like bucket-head girl; why does she have the bucket on? Will she try to catch it if she starts to fall and protect the bucket over trying to land safely? Stuff like that!

tomonaku responds:

I agree that the 'idea' side of this is the weakest part. I was sort of conscious of it while making it but didn't have the time to fix it. Exploring ideas and depicting them is still pretty new to me but doing these jams has been good practice and I hope to get better. Thanks Brandy!

['Quaraquol']

A classic resurrected by ruffle; will always love stopmo

Butzbo responds:

Woow right I just found out it works again!
I guess I could have updated to video at some point, but I'm happy to see the good old buttons again.
Thanks Brandy! :)

[Trailer Jam: Hello World :]]

It's a really strong first half, but it ends so abruptly ;(
MAKE MORE DAMMIT

QueenBoo responds:

Don’t worry! Void’s going to eventually update this post/entry!

Unfortunately they had extreme technical issues at the time of upload. Please stay tuned for the updated version! c:

["Together" She Said... [Never-Ending Dance Jam]]

Aww that's a really cute duet!

midgetsausage responds:

ay thanks yo! I’m really happy you liked it
