Kwing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Incident:011A]

Decent skit. I thought it was weird how hesitant most of the agents were to attack this guy, and how those that fought didn't seem to mind using melee weapons or not running. That said, the animation is good. Seemed kind of weird that the spikes didn't have any blood on them at the end though.

[Boy-Hole]

I agree with what others have said about this needing a follow up or maybe a bit more development. The animation is great, especially the lip syncing, and the spazzing out part really does look hilarious, but the line, "What are they all doing in that hole?" serves absolutely no purpose. The audience can see it. You don't need to point it out. Where's the punchline?

[Derp The Penguin]

This is surprisingly well animated but it needs a bit more complete movements - not just a few tweens or one part of the penguin moving, but the entire as a whole. You could use some color, a background, etc. to really make this pop. It's not inherently bad but it feels really incomplete.

BF-Brix responds:

I think what you need to take note of, is that this was one of my school project animations for my Animation class. If I were doing these animations on my own spare time for fun, I would take much more time to make these look polished. Thanks for the feedback though.

[Kirby's Dream Land]

Fairly original concept and pretty well-done too. The ghosts could be drawn a bit better and you probably could have done more in the way of humor aside from the ghost getting splattered but this is otherwise really well done.

Axelstation responds:

those are valid points, but i'm glad you still enjoyed it despite those things ^^

[Animation vs. Minecraft]

As always you show an immense amount of talent in your work. Some of the movements feel like they go by too fast, and overall this lacks the smoothness of some of your previous work, but conceptually you've really got something. It's not as clever as the AvA series, since most everything is based on one big video game reference, but the magnitude of everything you've done shines through nonetheless. At this point Minecraft is a bit dated but I wouldn't be surprised if you'd been working on this for a couple years so it would be pointless to attack you for it.

Really well-done man.

[2016 Ghostbusters Reboot Bust 8 Year Old's Dying Wish]

I like the smoothness of the tweens and the low-quality talking heads but I found the animation kind of hard to follow and tedious at points. Behind the humorously bad technical aspect I didn't feel like there was any more intelligent humor beneath it.

Psychopath responds:

Hey, my shitty plan worked. I'm glad you liked the smooth animation; I felt as though that since I'm using Tweening anyway that I should animate it in 60FPS to compensate since it was mostly a rush job. I'm sorry that the satire didn't have more appeal, fellow Craptonian.

You might like the newspaper articles; to read them, pause at -0:43, -0:33 & -0:21. Be prepared though, we get pretty edgy on some of them, the New Pork Times in particular. I spelled Paul Feig's name wrong by mistake but it is the New Pork Times, they're bound to make errors.

[A History Of Video Games]

This is an interesting concept, kind of a combination of the Doors and Portal collabs, but the animation is hands-down atrocious. Slow it down, capture the movements more fluidly, turn on onion skinning and physically reenact every movement you're animating.

awarskow responds:

This is kinda old, and i did it in 12 fps. It was basically a last minute entry to a film festival.
I have fully acknowledged that it's bad, and i am working very hard to improve.

[Bouncing Ball : Biweekly Animation Challenge]

It's interesting how well-done the alien looks compared to the rest of the animation. The bouncing is really awful. Make sure the ball really slows down when it reaches its point of equilibrium in freefall. A background would be nice too.

For this being as short and simple as it is, even a perfect animation wouldn't have gotten more than 3.5/5.

newgamingspies responds:

Thanks for the review. I didn't really understand the last part of the comment. I guess I have to work harder. This is my first bouncing ball after a veerrry long time. I really appreciate your time taken to review it! Thanks!...though i really wish to win...

[Magic Portal]

Very cool. I like the PS1-style graphics. The twist is cute, too. It could stand to have a little more behind it, right now this looks more like an experiment than anything.

[Transparency (Teaser)]

This looks insane. No joke, the visual quality surpasses the majority of anime out there, even some of the larger budget series. The biggest issue with the teaser is that it starts off so leisurely, both in music and animation, that you build the expectation for it to be longer, so it feels shorter than it actually is.
