BigDaddy1066's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

['Kite']

Wow!

That was really awesome! This was no mere animation but rather artwork in motion. The colors used and the drawing style were brilliant and beautiful. I also like the overall theme of "if you love something let it go." Nice!

One small thing I would point out is that in the scene where the girl looks back at the kite the front quater of her face is in shadow, but as she turns her head the shadow moves with her face, making it look like half her face is painted. Other than that this is a truly gorgeous piece of art.

Pierson responds:

Thanks so much for commenting, youve got it spot on with the whole 'if you love something, let it go' message, cheers for pointing out the shading thing too! Cheers for watching, really appreciate it!

[Inside the mind of Craig]

Simply superb!

I really loved this animation, in part because I can truly relate to the random, chaotic rush of thoughts and images. One thing I really appreciate -- and is the sort of thing that seperates average animations from the superb -- is the attention to detail you've shown. I love the blood spatter on the "camera" and the details on the iris, for examples. All this, plus as another reviewer mentioned the rich tonal qualities of the sounds. Can't wait to see more episodes!

jocki responds:

Simply Thank you!

[Turing Test]

That was awesome!

This is the sort of thing that could almost become a serial as we slowly begin to see more and more of the backstory, or even seeing the same thing from the bot's point of view.

Jimtopia responds:

That'd be an interesting take on it. Thanks for the review!

[Threepio Takes a Bath]

Funny!

That is wrong on so many levels...and yet so right! :)

Galneda responds:

Exactly! Thanks

[A Newgrounds Christmas]

Awesome!

I loved it! Its so cool to see the endeavors of so many different animators in one place like that. Damn, that's a Christmas party I'd love to get invited to! :)

Jazza responds:

it was a fun party. sorry you missed it :) lol jk
thanks though!

[Good and Evil Spock]

Bwah ha ha!

I always like the short, simple, and direct jokes. Very nicely done! Keep up the good work.

ToonyToonToons responds:

Thank you BigDaddy1066

[Star Trek TOS Intro]

Not bad

The only problem was that the sound was way, waaaaaaay out of sync with the action. Other than that, pretty good effort.

Trekkie2063 responds:

Hmmm......I didn't notice any problem with the sound in the original source file, or here on newgrounds.

[Wacky Suicidal Maniac!]

Uh...

Shouldn't that be whacky "homicidal" maniac? After all, he kills three people but gives himself not even a scratch. Seems more homicidal than suicidal to me. Otherwise, though, not bad.

Brooksay responds:

who's to say Whacky Suicidal Maniac doesn't kill himself in the next episode? :P

[Rolling Along]

AWESOME!

I love the originality, the simple design that still catches the eye, and the way in which the music synced perfectly to the action. The only thing that would have made it better was if at the very end the view pulled away to reveal this massively complex design that was just created, but I don't know if that was practical or even possible. A really, really cool flash!

farfenwaffle responds:

lol ya it sure would have been cool! i thought about that but it just wouldent have worked because of some tricks i used as optical illusions to make you think the ball was moving. im glad im being a little ogiginal! it makes me glad to think that :)

[James Hurley]

Uhhh...

What was his name again? Oh, yeah. Bob.

biblo responds:

no it was James Hurley
