Zef's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Whitmore: H'ween Special]

Will arbuckle...

i hope that's your name i'm working from memory here. Once again without fail you delivered fresh comedy clean graphics and awesome audio. I'ma massive fan of your work and can't wait to see what you come up with next. Thanks for the halloween treat of a little more whitmore.

EdibleCastle responds:

hey, cheers. yep, thats my name alright. good one. thanks again.

[Flathead Symphony]

Bah Humbug

Points to raise:

The animation was ok, there was very little of it and i am tiring of paladin's style. It was fluid and crisp however and I can't fault the synchranization.

This isn't too different to The other animation Dustball did is it. And The concept is cute but soon gets boring to watch.

The sound:

Obviously just a sort of percusional piece (sp). I could have produced that on fruity in minutes. I find it a little lazy and un creative that somebody as learned in digital music would use default fl sounds. Try using soundfonts or your own percussion. Because after using Fruity Loops for an hour or so those default drum sounds eat my brain away.

Nice enough but i personally think this should have had a lower score. Celebrity status works wonders ey!

[Yet Another Day]

I'm praying that the score this has is a glitch...

Seriously neither the story the animation (if you can call it that) or the drawing deserved anything over 3.6. I'm totally fucking shocked.

[Sock Episode 3]

David..

Oooooooh you're so controversial...

*rolleyes*

I liked your humour, your style and your animation. But you don't seem to br progressing anymore. You have creepy scratchy shocking stuff downa to afine art now. But the flashes are turning ever more similar. It's worrying and i hope to god you don't just turn into illwillpress!

[Kanye West: Hurricane]

Wow

Not only is the idea fo HOMOUR lost, you even gave up on animating and drawing well. You can't get by just on the fact you have submitted tons of mediocre flashes aimed at prepubescent twats who'll worship you. This isn't comedy. You simply lamely immitated kanyes voice, parodying the most useful, truthful and politically important comment he will ever make. If i had any respect for zipper sih since their porn adds, it's long gone now.

No zeffy love ro kisses for you bastards!

[Stop Crying - Part 3]

Phh

heartfelt stories don't overshadow bad animation!

["The Mustache Contest"]

Woah yeah

I'd really love to see more done like this. Really nice mood you created. The clever simplicity (oxymoron?) is perefect for the subject matter. Awesome job!

[7 Feet under (Noir)]

Nice work

Nice cinematic touches. I foudn that your blood was lazily animated, the shape tweening looked unnatrual. Bodily movements are well doen , and the story is ok. GOOD JOB :D

[Texas Chain Saw President]

WOw

That;s wonderful animation, real smooth and proffesional! Really original style too. OUCH :S

[Shave Tonight]

Shave me from this boredom!

Hmm, you submitting this is a bit of a waste of time, finish it yourself or find another animator. It simply wasn't enetertaining to view for me. The song was lame too i'm not a fan of poorly done spoofs. If i was you i'd stick to doing the soundtracks for soem quality animators, we all know you're brilliant at that.

ps, i dont think it would have made a particularly good video anyway, theres not enough action and variety, nobody wants to watcha face with the lips moving!

Dustball responds:

It's odd that you said "nobody wants to watcha face with the lips moving" when refering the song not an interesting enough subject for a video, when it's obvious that the stiff faces with animated mouths is a product of this being a storyboard that I later added mouths to. You already said you didn't like it, so that's fine, but I thought all of the scenarios made a perfectly intersting video. The mouths would have nothing to do with that either way. I'm glad you like my other music... and I'm not saying my music is always perfect or something, but honestly what was "poorly done" about the song? Heck, most people do parodies by simply singing over a karoake CD, but I though mine turned out pretty good considering I recorded it all from scratch!
