BrandyBuizel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Surge fights The Invader dude]

Really nice line work for an animation, but the entire thing is lacking in environments and color.
It looks super incomplete so I hope you plan on finishing this.

BONESofBURIED responds:

The main aspect of animation as it is defined is to create the illusion of movement through successive pictures. The movement is pretty smooth with regards to that department. That being said, I don't think its fair to judge an animation negatively based on the fact that it doesn't have color or an environment. However, I agree this does make it look less refined.

[Saya Nombor SA-2]

Deep.
You really got the plot across and consequences through really well, you didn't have to straight up say anything(plus there was no talking). Great job!

openlor responds:

It is exactly what I'm after, thank you for your review!

[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.

GeorgeDraws responds:

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.

Amaan-Raja responds:

I tried that but it didn't work

[Problems With A Zombie Apocolypse Feat:Theodd1sout]

1. You aren't really making a lot of arguments about your topic, it's mostly nonsense with no structure.
2. It doesn't even look like you attempted to lip sync, which is probably the only thing that would've time to make considering the entire video is almost a slideshow of images.
3. Don't advertise you collaborated with theodd1sout for clicks. It's obviously just a couple of stolen soundbites. That may work for views on YouTube but on NG you'r gonna get blammed. Advertise your ginerpale friend instead who you actually collabed with.
4. 1/3 of the video is the outro
5. So I had to watch this several times to give you the benefit of the doubt. It's labeled "Comedy" maybe I'm missing something.
6. "...unless only one person was infected in the first place..." it's a much longer quote, but this was the only real point you made which makes 0 sense because that is almost exactly how every infected movie starts. That's how any disease or plague starts.

KaboomAnimationz responds:

ok thanks for the feedback :) but i really did collab with theodd1sout i have proof from our emails :)

[Crack in my system]

Daaaaannnnnnnngg.
Excellent compostiion and storytelling, I couldn't look away.

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!]

pure advertisement, no substance.
please blam.

LegacyAnimation responds:

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

[Sonic Monocle - E3: 'L U V']

Cute as always, but the motion graphics in this one are far better than in your previous work, nice job!
And the overlays definitely give it a better look.

CosmicMonocle responds:

Thanks for the feedback! :D

[Sonic Monocle - E1: 'I Don't Wanna See You Burn']

What can I say? It was cute, it was definitely a comedy, it has a song and there were ants.
Great work man, I like that the guitar strumming was actually synced to the music(some people just don't do that detail).

CosmicMonocle responds:

Thanks man - glad you noticed ;)
