PiGPEN's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MMO :: Pilot Episode]

you need some consistency

Graphics were good in some places, horrible in others. Animation was ok in some places (albeit obviously rotoscoped) and horrible in others. Sound was average, voice acting could use some work and the overall soundtrack needs level tweeking (you should be able to clearly hear voices over backing music).
Story is....well its to be continued so i donno... it looks to be in a similar vein if not a straight ripoff of .hack though.
Almost average.....progress to you, mate.

Kahze responds:

I promise you, this will not travel that agglutinated vein ;D

If we were making another story based on homicidal AI p33pz then i'd be wasting my time ;O

[Animatic Breakup//]

Has potential, poor execution.

Doesnt really look like an animatic, certainly nothing like a disney animatic like youve suggested. It really just looks like a choppy, lazily done animation.

The audio quality was poor, the male VA sucked, the female needs a better mic and to try harder...some good lines, lots of flat ones.

Story was alright but cant save it.

It just looks like you slapped the label "animatic" on this as an excuse.

teraissa responds:

Funny. I never said it was a Disney animatic. I'm really sorry you feel that way. I also hope your salty review made you feel better,good day to you.

[Awesome the Hedgehog]

hehe

could stand to be longer and funnierererer.
I liked the *touch, RING EXPLOSION* one though...i always thought that was pretty stupid in the sonic games. Shoulda had him scrambling around trying to get his rings back though and screaming "IF I DONT GET MY RINGS BACK I'LL DIIIIIE!" and such.

When ya gonna make an original series?

Egoraptor responds:

At some point. It's difficult because I suck at flash and I don't want to ruin my IPs with the lack of quality. So I figure I'd ruin other people's IPs. Sounds fair.

[Chibi Battle ep. 1/2]

i counted....

...4 memes...
Cats, traps, desu girl and sum habbo door block.

Its too bad you animate like the common DA riff-raff.

Arieo-Delacroix responds:

hmm...where to start with this...
1. what's a meme
2. "habbo door block"? whu?
3. "Common DA riff-raff" hm.. you make an interesting statement, I'm sure you were teh pwnage when you first started too, huh? ^__^

[Squaresville]

I dont know Portugese.

That wasnt really funny but it was definitely interesting and original, which compensates for humor more than enough.
Gripes:
Flash Sound Library sounds suck, dont use 'em.
That customer service part with the 3d shelves...the animation of the shelves didnt match up with the background (sticky feet problem).

yeh

["Dare"]

Ha, heh, humm...

Silly bible humper, starbucks and mcdonalds wont save the poverty stricken and sterotyped thugs wont get a smile from coke (despite famous slogans).

People who cant stick to one place are running from themselves.

squeakytoad responds:

Didn't say it would. Of course I couldn't animate him developing entire friendships and relationships with these people. So I tried to sum up and represent this time.

[ROFLCHOP (1up)]

That's freakin Gold right there!

You know personally i dont give out the fifen to just anything...even friends.......but that just earnt it. The characterization of the monkey fellas you did was fantastic. If you can manage to not lose the spark you should make those 2 characters into a series.
anyways.......LATA!!!!

Yoshi-1up responds:

LATA!!!!

[Bullying]

R-iiiiiight.

You tell people to stop bullying.....by threatening violence.

Neo-uk responds:

Lol no, just because u know how to beat someone up doesnt mean that u should.... And because someone doesnt, doesnt mean u'll be able to beat them up.

You have to think... rather than being perdantic for the sake of "catching someone out". But either way, thx for respond.

[Beyond Gaming]

Attack of the Madness Clones.

That sucked. Usually i say why it sucked but im pretty sure all of you know why (read title). The only one that was any good was snare's animation but a single good apple doesnt unspoil the bunch.....or something like that.

Xionico responds:

yeh...something like that O.o

[Modest 2]

A splash of color.

The character design was interesting and the "camera" work was stylish. The action could use a bit more work, a good action flick makes the viewer feel the impact of every hit.
Specifically, For single enemy scenes the action needs to slow down a bit and in general the hits should look more devestating. A character being hit then simply falling to the ground doesnt cut it.
Next to fix would be the music, the music used didnt feel action-packed enough to fit nor was it anti-action enough (putting beautiful classical music in an action scene would be an example of anti-action...which often works very well).
And thirdly, not to sound like a vampire but it could use some blood...yknow, a splash of color.

Look on my site d00d, I think you will like the look of the screenshots of Modest 3! http://www.rezter.com
