smirkstudios's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Batman: Bright Day]

Not this time.

Well, I hate to do it, but this is simply 2 pictures with moving mouths and a funny script, and that didn't do it for me. Your name is big to me, but I still vote on quality based on several factors OTHER than your credentials. Nice drawings, though!

[Machete Overkill]

cool

The special effects and editing are pretty sweet in your trailer here! I wish it wasn't stick figures, but it's still credible. I really like the TV static and camera malfunctioning shots, and the timing was very dramatic and well executed. Good Job!

[The Crew Talks Art]

Yes!

Good to see some more from you, Mr. Palin, I was definitely happy. Seeya around sometime!

KartuneHustla responds:

Thanks man! Any new interviews on your talkshow I should be looking forward to?

[How to be NG Animator God]

Sarcasm (=|)

LOL so don't apply ANY of these tips to my animation, gotcha! LMAO good job, I hope people get what you are doing here and are ashamed that they don't want original content and instead would rather watch 100 remakes in a row... lol

[Crotchless Chaps]

Well...

I did not like this very much. The art was very good, and I like your style and everything, but the writing is kinda rough. Maybe don't say the F word so much. I have always liked your stuff, but maybe some new voice actors and writers could make your team a little stronger. Plus your characters walk in one angle and they don't turn around or anything. Sorry for the low score, better luck next time!

BiffTheTimid responds:

It is what it is dawg, it is what it is. I'm not too worried about it.

[FaceDown]

Really good

I really liked this one for it's thought and emotion. I honestly hate the music, but the heart was there, so I credit that. The animation was good when it was happening, but there was a lot of pausing and points where not much was happening, so maybe just work on panning the camera around a little more next time and try some new angles. Good job, buddy!

[Press Start: Clone]

Nice

I really liked the writing for this. The graphics were ok, too, but could use just a little clean up work. I really liked the creation that they make, he's a funny character who was well played. Good job!

[Sketched - Prospector]

Cool :P

Definitely clean high quality stuff now! Plus you're back on schedule for monthly releases I hope! Always been a fan of the Sketched writing styles and actors, and working with you is a dream come true!
My cut-ins appear a lot dryer on the final than they did while I was making them. I'll just have to learn how to better construct my pics. Thanks for using my characters, and nice scroll bar at the end!
"That's Josh Metz, he's a real character..." LOL foreshadowing...

sirjeffofshort responds:

Thanks man. I wouldn't be too harsh on your cut ins. I LOVE the prospector on the waaatah slyde!

[Apocalypse Lane: Poker]

COOL!!!

Good job! Hopefully this will help you and the folks up at the Escapist promote your stuff with a wider range scope! Very cool to see you're uploading to Newgrounds! Keep it up, Jon Etheridge! Come back to the show sometime!

Jonnyethco responds:

Anytime man. Just give me a call. :)

[- Rain -]

Wow.

This is very nice. The only bad thing is that your walk cycle for the one dude is very jerky and unnatural looking. The idea was great, the timing and sync were great, the story was cute, and the symbolism could be taken in lots of ways. Good job!

Clarevoyant responds:

Thanks for noticing the symbolism I stuffed in there! You'll find at least one symbolic thing in every scene.
