TESM's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mario Kart Underground]

Hmm...

I'm not a huge fan of this. This character art was done excellently, and animation, smooth as well as good adaptations with the characters to the setting.

However, using the 3-d cars and 2-d characters didn't work out in spots like the begining where wario threw up, and the backgrounds were pretty bad with missing color, poor gradients and bad line art.

The music works well and animation was above average, but i like to see more substance and overall effort on everything. story'd be nice too.

good work, but not to my liking, keep at it.

[Slapdash Heroes Ep.3**]

You were right,

For what it lacks, but it looks like you put a little effort into the scheme of things. The comedy was stupid, but i liked it, especially the make me dinner one, good stuff...

keep working with animation and remember, making it better each time only brings the score up, especially form past viewers. Keep working to improve your script a little (comedy is f'ing hard anyways) and always improve graphics and substance.

keep at it and always try harder for next time!
3/5

[Blam Master 5 Tutorial]

I wasn't impressed

No real information was given at all about how to make a movie. saying 'make that shitty movie again, but better' is a load of bullshit and helps no one.

Graphics: Lousy graphics, cheesy perspective, choppy animation. Nothing noteworthy or trend setting what so ever. Bad.

Sound: Annoying sound effects and staticy voices along with somewhat useless tips for sound recording. No point.

Interactivity: U had aplay button.

Style: It was with no good or decent intent as you really helped little with your information. It was porrly pieced together and the content was shabby and completely sub par.

Violence: Wow, red splotches everywhere, and stuff being cut in half. whoo hoo! daily feature!
Dumb and aweful with the sound.

Humor: NONE.

Overall, you need to rethink your work and do a better job in presentation. I would like to see all people imporve on thier skills. watch for grammar and other stuff... this BS didn't need to be 5th place, you robbed someone with an easy and lame ass gimmik.

[FF: Mixed in Balamb]

Excellent movie...

Although your animation style needs a tune-up, i have to say that the style and the music that accompanied it were excellent. Some break off's were a little wierd, and changing character animation was, kinda a hit or miss thing, but i liked the overall feel. The music and voices were used well and that is the movies strongest point.
The characters themselves, when drawn full were done excellently, and although i never liked chibi style, it worked well enough to where i didn't like this.

My suggestion is that you work more with frame by frame animation, rather than tweens, which i'm guessing was used with shiva...

although my style in itself isn't perfect, and i apologize for it, i like to improve each movie, and I hope you will too. If anything, movies are only made better if some heart and energy are put into it, and then applied even greater on the next movies. You have a great start, in which i thought was pretty funny.

Keep up the good work and i look foreward to a even better and well animatied episode.

Keep animating...

Toonimated responds:

Hmmm frame by frame, its very tough, considering the length, but in the next one, I shall add more frame by frame

[FFVI:The Day After Part14]

Good...

Some slow-ish animation in places and some scratchy sound. But this was well made and I always appreciated a serious genre, since although it's sprites, FF6 was a serious game to begin with. I Really like how Kefka was put together. IMO, he is an excellent villian. He's evil, crazy, and merciless. And the love story was good too (for what it's worth)...

All in all, it still needs animation work and some more sprite work, but it was good and i'm glad you sis what you needed too...

Keep at it and make your last one your best!

Vinstigator responds:

Thank you! The last episode will be the best because T-Dash is gonna help me on my battle scene :D

[FF7: About Random Battles]

Well made.

good concept, good graphics, good overall. I always like these submissions and they always have some good replay value. The game is a great idea, and I thank you for it.
overall, everything looked good and on the whole, this movie is excellent for its genre.

[The flower...]

Not bad...

mostly smooth animation, good use of shading, i liked it... for the most part, a little short, but it gets the point across... good work.. i like dthe use of REM's 'Everybody hurts' which was an excellent touch...

although not exactly 'moving', it was well made, so good work :)

btw, very cool cursor on the load screen... that's why u got 4... i can only do half of those... too annoying to code for...

well, keep at it... good job again...

[Pink Lemonade valentine]

booo...

In poor taste i assure you, but the graphics were well done...
well, it's just a cartoon after all, no matter how sick, well, not really sick, just... ah... in bad tatse..
i guess...

but kudos on the graphics and sound, very well done.. i just hope that isn't the story line for your next toon! heh, good work, try for less... ah... conflicting material...
keep at it.

[bonjour]

Cool...

Hard to follow! but still an adictive movie...
the more i review why we hate france, the more i ask why, eh?
as a chicagoan, i'm pretty happy with what people choose to do. France, Germany, Canada, USA, Brittian, etc are all cool in their own way...
neat movie, the music was the best... weird ending...
weird for the sake of weird huh?

[The Real Legend]

Great.

The art and animation reminded me of that... Teen Titans on CN.
It was overall funny, and the graphics were great.
I love the Strom Thurmond accent on Gannon... ha ha... great
and the clumsiness... and all of it...
if sheik is, well.. that way.
if theres another, gods speed...!
