Dunso's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness: Counter Strike]

Nice concept, a little bit choppy, could use some of your own sprites, but somehow still set apart because it does things differently.

However, here is some tips for what you need to improve next time:
In the timeline, place the sounds a little bit before the action to sync them. Also set them to "stream" and make sure all the sounds are set to this or it will bug out. Google "V-Cam" because I can see that when you zoom in and such right now you are actually making everything bigger, which while being a great effort that you should be commended for doing anyway, and a V-Cam is much easier to use. I think you could use a higher fps too, somewhere between 28-33. You'll have to add more frames but it will be hell of a lot smoother. I'm not sure whether you do this already but if you don't; insert a lot of layers, one for every body part on every guy, and it will be much easier to animate smoothly.

Thanks for the info
But, in this movie i'm use V-cam

[Madness E collab 2]

Quite frankly, every ounce of this was generic. Generic music, some good animations that were ultimately pointless in the long run due to lack of context (this being an issue in all collabs), some seemingly easy things remaining unfixed and unpolished due to the fact that it's "just a collab clip" or "just a test", lack of originality on many fronts just running about doing the same kills over and over. There were also very little custom sprites and when something did deviate it was usually not very well made either. The overall concept of a collab like this hasn't been interesting or original for about three years. It's bland to the point of almost being a parody of itself.

In conclusion:
Concept 0/5 (Unoriginal)
Animation 3/5 (Unpolished)
Art 1/5 (Lack of well-made custom sprites)
Sound 2/5 (OK music fit the mood but extremely generic + Same old sound effects, no complaints)
Overall impression 1/5 (Forgettable)

Final score: 2/5

yes... yes.... yes...

[Madness: Giant Vs Little]

The movie did well with the concept it had, which was also fairly entertaining and definitely passes for a first.

The animation wasn't terrible but it was pretty basic and could use more cushioning to improve the flow of it. The overall posture of the characters can be improved greatly by simply leaning the body back a little bit and angling the feet slightly downwards.

Keep going at it and you'll be real good eventually.

["Target Practice"]

Yeah, he killed people. That doesn't mean his animation is automatically shit. It's kind of like Hitler's paintings, nobody likes to admit that the art of a villain is good.

It was pretty good, okay frame by frame but with some strange anatomy. As it's a test it's not really properly packaged either, and doesn't have an overall feel other than "unfinished".

[Game of The Year Edition]

Really nice animation and overall style, true message. It seems to have pretty much delivered on all it set out to be.

[The Minecraft Community]

Butthurt people. Butthurt people everywhere. It's pretty funny, a little true, gave me a chuckle.

[Nameless Madness Collab]

The animation is good, but it's nothing new. It's so gotten so old in fact that this was barely watchable. Don't get me wrong, the animation is good, but there's only so many times I can stand to see a completely unoriginal collab on the front page. Honestly, 1337 agents as nearly the only enemy, one or two original characters because the rest is just Sanford and Deimos or Hank, even the name of the collab was so painfully bland that I just don't see how this could end up on the front page.

You're all good animators on your own but this in my opinion is just not interesting enough and doesn't improve on anything at all.

[Adrellia Village: School]

Well, the characters seem a bit uninspired, you could have done atleast something to set them apart from the Cyanide & Happiness characters. The last animation would have been better left out since it greatly reduces the overall impression you get when you watch the movie. All in all should have waited a few days to get this out and polished the living shit out of it.

It must be a slow day in the portal today with this getting Daily Third. No offense but if you had polished this thing better and had some original characters I would have thoght you deserved it.

MistyE responds:

Interesting. Lots of people say that my characters bear great resemblance to Cyanide & Happiness, but it'd be weird to change them significantly since I've already produced 40+ episodes with them. I'm not sure what to change other than possibly add shading, shadowing or at least some sort of distinguishing quality.

No offense taken, thank you very much for your review!

[Bronies]

Very funny indeed, can't believe people are stirring up a shitstorm for this. The whole point of a cartoon is to exagurate, and that you did. Superb!

[Typical Call of Duty...]

Funny Spartan514, you don't write like it

This is exactly why I don't play the game, it's been made unplayable by little kids.
