Twoeliz's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[For the Love of Lemons and Limes | Stop Motion Claymation]

Where did the lemon go? How did the lime just appeared? This movie has me in awe. The sound design is pretty good and so is the animation.

ClayDay responds:

Thanks!

I have noticed this as well. I try to rate things fairly, however when it comes to this person...I keep scoring their videos quite low to try to avarage things down with the hopes that other uploads get to the daily 5. I am trying to do the right thing but I guess that the rating can be justified because the animation is not good and so is the voice acting so I guess I shouldn't feel too guilty about what I do. There is just so much greatness out there and all that people get to see every day is this squirrel thing. Plus, I thought that newgrounds didn't allow people to reupload their same work without changes, I understand that now it is in HD but should the quality of the video count as enough change to be able to be reuploaded?

Congratulations on daily first! Unpleasant design but it get the point across perfectly.

Beautiful song, is one of those that could sound heart warming or melancholic depending on how if heard. I really love it! I keep replaying the animation just so that I can hear it.

The character has a weird design and proportions, due to this the walking looks pretty natural when it most cases I would think it looks bad because is not realistic looking but since it is quite cartoony it works alright. There is not much going on on the animation so even though it looks pretty good and the music is wonderful, it looks as if the animation is just filler to share your song rather than being visual entertainment. You should consider also uploading your songs alone as audio rather than movies. By all means keep animating, just try to keep the visuals interesting. For example, the character could have keep walking forever as you have here but maybe the background could change once in a while. It could be abstract shapes representing thoughts/hallucinations or it could be scenery that shows how much he has walked.

[Index man]

The change of backgrounds goes very well with the beat but you clearly knew what you were doing. Since the paper isn't exactly in the center most of the time , it gives the viewer the opportunity to admire the background well so that was a pretty good choice. However, even though the paper slides smoothly across the screen I'm not sure what to think of it. I'm not sure if it is a distraction or a way to keep the viewers attention by not being repetitive.

When it comes to the animation, it is pretty neat actually. Sure it is pretty random and I doubt it follows a story or have any deeper meaning but that doesn't make it bad. In fact it can be quite fun seeing this sort of animation because it is almost impossible to predict what is going to happen next. I was surely not expecting the key to act as a light switch at all! I wouldn't change much about your creation but the score could have been higher if it was colored as animation without color can often look unfinished.

charkles responds:

This may be the best criticism ive gotten ever! You summarized it so clearly and I couldn't agree more. Im not confident enough with coloring to do that with the fear of messing up and its paper animation which means no ctrl z but thanks so kuch for the criticism I will definitely take this into account!

[BANANAS IN PYJAMAS! (Animated Parody)]

The weird part is that I don't remember ever watching Bananas in pajamas BUT I do remember the theme song very well. I may not know what the show was about but I am just gonna pretend that the show was about a banana who wanted to build a family with a bear and failed miserably.

SteakstixAnimations responds:

I don’t remember what it was about, either. But I’m going to absolutely believe that it was about that haha

[A Transformation!(Test)]

I'm sure you can do better. Try drawing some more so the animation can have more frames and be smoother. The character design is not ugly and the wings looked quite nice as well but the stiffness of it just ruins it. In a transformation sequence such as this there needs to be movement. You can make the hair and dress flow in the wind ,slowly changing colors or flashing to reveal the final results. I guess that is fine that the wings just kinda appeared but the impact would be much greater if they came out of her body and her body language showed that there are some changes occurring. Keep on animating! You will surely improve.

AnimationsOfArt responds:

Thank you for the critique!!:D I didn't put much effort into this one but I will remake this in the future with your advice!!Have an amazing day!!:)

[Reel]

Looks like you got some nice animation practice. My favorite is the bouncy thing in the end but the first guy walking is the most impressive!

DAyala666 responds:

thanks you, i really enjoyed animating that Lobo walking. glad you liked it .

[Twenty Five]

Who are you, is right lmao

Happy birthday though!

[Dora Anime Opening - Traitor's Requiem Parody]

It was better than expected. The animation is quite stiff but that's understandable when you are drawing so much detail. If you are trying to practice animating I suggest animating with designs that are more simplistic. I believe that you did all of those extra details to mimic an exaggerated anime style but I don't think the style is quite there yet. Maybe you could practice drawing detail and stuff like that separate from animation and then after you have improved you could try and mix your animations skills with your drawing skills. Anyhow you don't need to explain yourself before the video, to me it seems like saying stuff like that is more fitting for the description.

[The Map]

Those backgrounds are quite beautiful, in the way that it actually help set up the atmosphere. The music also fits quite perfectly with the scenes. Sure, there were a few sounds that I wasn't expecting but that interruption is what made it somewhat funny , but it is a little disposing that the faces are incapable of showing ridiculous reactions.
