lenkalamari's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spaceships]

oh my.

i love you.

AdamJack responds:

oh my. :D

[Anamnesis]

pretty cool, but!

nice little idea, I loved the paper effect. one major problem is that i wouldnt associate over half of these series/shorts with NG 2007.

indigoApe responds:

Every piece seen is something that came out in 2007. I took the time to go through tons of pages, checking dates, ruling out 2006 entries and making sure everything was from 2007. The music itself is an audio submission submitted in 2007. Should have spent a little more time animating rather than planning.

Thanks for your time <3.

[*Numb*]

'cmon man!

altogether there was what, 10 seconds of unique footage? for a three minute song? you just kept showing the same things over and over and over.

also, lip syncing never makes for a good music video. with all the possibilities of flash, i'm sick of seeing people make music videos about people singing : /

i'm sure those tankman graphics aren't yours either ;-)

ShortMonkey responds:

I drew the tankman. Though, I wasn't the original creator of the character...

[The Plumber]

fucking excellent!

Dude, that was GREAT. I havent enjoyed a game parody as much as this in months. original approach, great direction, nice lo-fi music choice, and awesome graphics and animation. there's stuff like 'Smash Kingdom', using stolen art and old jokes that gets twice as many views as this, which isn't right damnit >: (

Haroshi responds:

THIS MAN SPEAKS THE TRUTH

But seriously, sprite animations can be good in their own right but they shouldn't be viewed in the same way as traditional animation.
Reasons for this include the fact that sprite animators are not required to create any of their own artwork to use in the animation, and the time put in is considerably shorter.

It makes me *facepalm* when I see sprite movies on the front page, daily first, weekly fist, score reaching the mid 4 scale.

I urge everyone to animate using their own drawings, in the end it is much more rewarding and lets you express the ideas/story of your animation in an accurate way.

[KR47: Used to Be]

lmao

i think the ad-libbing makes this series work, the speech and voice acting just seems so genuine. its ace.

you ever seen a cartoon called Home Movies by any chance?

Ghosty22 responds:

Is that on Cartoon Network or something? Is Dr. Katz in it, along with the guy who played his son? If it's the one with the red-haired kid with the pointy nose, then, yes, I have seen it. It's pretty cool, but I haven't watched in awhile.

[Metal Gear Awesome 2]

Haha oh man

I thought the second half kinda dragged, but everything else was some of the funniest shit I've ever seen.

And holy crap, your animation's improved a lot over the last couple years

Nice end to the series anyways Ego, cant wait to see what you do next.

Egoraptor responds:

Haha thanks a lot. Hope I can wow you again!

And I'm a fan of your stuff, too. So SHOW ME YA MOVES.

[Inhuman Abduction Part 1]

FLOATY HEDS

Make part two. Or remake this one : D Theres so much bizarre imagery in here, I don't want this to be the only one.

Torm responds:

I think i'll just remake it with all the original artork and include part two.

[Zanta Claws]

Haha, sweet

Nice work dude.

eddsworld responds:

Cheers, same to your xmas flash :)

[Things that make me Angry]

You speak the truth man!

I always mute the PC and put some portable tunes on when on myspace. Fucking screamy bollocks.

Anyways, the flash was well paced, the punchline was sweetly delivered and it wasn't overly drawn out. Only thing that you could improve is the drawing (they're a little on the stickmen side). And maybe some frame by frame to compensate for all the tweening?

Sound was great too, can't wait for more.

Miren2k responds:

thanks for the review =D

in the sequel (due to popular demand) i will try a sketch in non stick, and see how i do .. i think it might be too early for me since i only started in the summer and havn't animated at all compared to all these pros - BUT it's best to give it a go so that people like you can tell me how i can improve on it in my next movie :)

[Pirates: The Musical]

Nicely done!

I know from personal experience that audio levels are a bitch (nudge nudge wink wink), but I couldn't really make out what some of the vocals were saying if it weren't for the lyrics - which fortunately were funny as fuck.

It could have been a little more past paced, but overall a great job. Clean character models, great backgrounds and of course original content. It may be a parody, yeah, but at least you didn't slam Lemon Demon or Weird Al in.

Looking forward to seeing more, you should parody a few more movies like this : D

GCBascom responds:

haha I know, right? I think they've been slammed enough before! :D
