KoniWorx's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[wreck]

Do you voice your toons yourself?

MaxJohnsonINK responds:

yeah this one i recorded on a webcam so it would sound nice and cruddy

[there is nothing you can do.]

Part of me can't help but wonder if you made this as a hand/arm animation exercise and then turned it into its own thing. Putting all the performance of the character in the hands seems like a fun challenge as well.

MaxJohnsonINK responds:

Thanks for watching! It started as a story and experiment in storytelling, "can I make a POV watching a lonely man talk and tell his tale interesting?" Then when thinking of execution and what made sense to the limited format, a limited physicality and animation made sense to him as well. Like his movements are almost as restricted as his emotions and bedside manner are.

[GAS PUMP-CHUMP]

What a coincidence.
I run on diarrhea and piss as well.

MaxJohnsonINK responds:

It is a viscous cycle.

[PICONJO vs evillock final]

Can't believe I found this again! I made the original hahaha. I remember I was owned so hard that I removed the animation. This is so good and I didn't appreciate it at the time but today I'm fuckin blown away I got owned by piconjo

Piconjo responds:

it was an h0n0r 2 haev pwned j00
n0w bend 0ver adn accept teh n00 pwnage<3

[Beware the Businessman]

The sudden weird style change was so creepy! I love it! Didn't expect to have such an emotional reaction to this. Even with the quirky and quick approach to the story telling, I felt sad for the dog.

Great job on this!

TheMartoon responds:

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

[Bad-ish (Less Than Less Than Rad?)]

Haha I remember this from twitter! I think we follow each other actually. Small world.

gatekid3 responds:

very small indeed

[Save the Night]

Great job on this. I can tell this took some great effort to make.
The only thing I feel holds this animation back is audio. It could have used some nice 8bit sound effects with the action to amplify the battle. I also find the intro to be a bit dragging with all the menu stuff. It takes a while before the viewer gets it that "hey, this animation will have both faked gameplay AND cinematics baked into it". So perhaps cutting to the chase with that would have been in the animation's favor.

Apart from that I think this is really well done and I can imagine that compositing this must have taken a lot of time!

gatekid3 responds:

That's true. the file select screen is a bit unnecessary. It was kind of a last-minute thing I thought would help but it just kind of slows everything down.

[Over the trick (Improbable Outset and madness mashup)]

It's part of NG rules to not submit music like this. Put the song up in the audio portal and not the movie one. The movie section is for cartoons and animations.

AlissonThecat responds:

BRO THIS WAS MADE WITH RAVE I CANT PUT IT ON AUDIO JEEZ

[Fiery and Zaphyr in Town]

Don't let the score put you down too much. I think you did a great job on the art. I just don't think this is for NG because traditionally the website is for cartoons type animation and not art tests and stuff. This feels like a vertical slice for an art portfolio rather than an animation itself.

I'm still not going to blam it tho because I think you did a fine job on the art - even if I don't find this suitable for NG.

TikkiToon responds:

Thanks for the review! Yeah, that makes sense. I'm still really new to the whole Newgrounds thing and still not fully sure if my work is adequate enough, I'm glad you still like the art.
