Pahgawk's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vice Versa]

As always, your drawings are incredibly detailed and are lovely to watch. You had an interesting interpretation of the theme (although I guess I got spoilers from your forum post a while ago.) Although at first I wasn't entirely sure what it was leading up to, the last scene in the end pulled everything together nicely. It was an honour competing against you in NATA and I wish you the best of luck!

DieterTheuns responds:

*bows down*
Thank you Pahgawk-san. May your ancestors smile on you.

As always, your animation skill is amazing and your art is incredibly crisp and visually appealing. The explosions and fluttering money effects were well executed. The story was interesting. Also, the bouncing car at the end was a nice humorous touch. 10/10 for you!

Emrox responds:

Thanks man. Best of luck in the rest of NATA

[A Trip to the Shop]

This animation was really, really impressive. The expressions on the characters were spot-on. The animation was pretty smooth. The voice acting was great. Plus, you had a neat, original story, too! It looks like you put a lot of effort into this and it really paid off.

TravelSizedLions responds:

Thanks! I probably couldn't have gotten the faces as expressive as they were without the great work the voice actors did.

[No Elephants in Here]

Wow, that was really awesome, and you've improved a lot! The animation is incredibly smooth. The backgrounds are great. The voice acting fits perfectly. And that ending.... man, wasn't expecting that. I laughed. Really great animation!

hillrdavid responds:

Thanks for the comment. I was really impressed by your animation for this round, so it's pretty cool to get this kind of a reaction from you ;)

[Quantum Freezer Theory]

Things I really liked about this:
- Bouncy, lively animation. Although not the smoothest at times, it had life in it, which works really well for the theme and tone of the movie.
- Great voice acting.
- Great timing and humour. I laughed audibly at the slap fight, which is something a lot of animations don't make me do. It wasn't an especially funny scene concept, but the way it was delivered was perfect.
- Small details in the backgrounds and such. For instance, the skull twisted to the side was a nice touch.

The only main thing I found a little distracting was the crowd scene near the end, but crowds are really tedious and annoying to do, and there was a time limit for the open round, so don't worry about that. It's acceptable.

Anyway, you've definitely made it through to the next round. This is some high-quality stuff!

TravelSizedLions responds:

Really, you think I can make it into the bracket? thanks, man. And thanks for the feedback.

[Duairt Eittle Episode 3]

Come on...

I actually liked where the plot was going; it had great potential, however, it was a little too short to fully elaborate on the things like the army that was created. I really liked how you showed Stuart in hell, however, I had no idea what anyone was saying, other than a giant "OK". I think, although there is a pause button, just make the talking slower anyway. The question is not why, but WHY NOT? It is the same thing for the quality of animation: why is it supposed to be bad? The story is PROBABLY good enough that if you combined the three episodes, added actual walk cycles, maybe some voice acting, and longer stories, you will have made a masterpiece. But please, until then, don't expect the old, "it's not SUPPOSED to look good" excuse to work.

VioletVulpine responds:

So?

[Preloader basics]

Awesome.

That was awesome. Very straight-forward and such. My only reason for only giving it 9/10 is because the music wasn't really fitting and sorta creeped me out... but the actual tutorial part was done very well.

EteJuano responds:

I knew I should have changed the music, but well.

It doesn't matter you can turn off the music :x

[Duairt Eittle Episode 2]

Meh.

Well, there's a plot this time. Drawings still lag. And the lip sync is off.

VioletVulpine responds:

Lip-synch is MEANT to be off.

[Duairt Eittle Episode 1]

Well...

I can see that you tried, I'll give you that... but the plot doesn't seem to make sense and the drawings are lacking. Keep workin' on it.

VioletVulpine responds:

It's meant to be that way.
