PiVisuals's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[AfW8: 28-2, Scene 4]

I listened to it in English, and I thought the voice acting was fine. I wonder, the character without the mouth, is there a way to show he is the one talking? This is often done several ways with a character that doesn't have a mouth: moving his head, moving his eyes, using some sort of flashing lights, etc.

As for the background talk, it wasn't annoying as much as distracting. Is the audience supposed to here specifically what is being said? In my opinion, you should keep the volume a little lower until a few moments before the middle character complains about it to the one watching it.

[Woopah]

Quick and to the point - I like it!. While some people say it's too short, I think it's better than dragging things on and making it stale.

The animation and design was also well done (as well as the voice acting). Great job!

[Pine]

I enjoyed the style a lot. Plus, the story was great - it was short and to the point, but above all, it was meaninful. Good job!

I am a little confused at the very end - was the Dad not there at all?

dylan responds:

Was who not there at all?

[Balgar - episode 4]

I like the animation. There were some pretty funny parts in it, too (I particularly enjoyed the 'leaving the stove on' bit).

If I had one critique, I would say that some of the voice acting could have used a little more emotion. Super Spiro had a lot of lines which could have been delivered with more feeling to better accentuate how he felt.

With that said, the story was interesting and unique. Good job!

[Drunk Ways to Die]

I didn't realize until after watching it that this was a preview/ clip for a bigger short so I was expecting somebody to die in it (and a bit disappointed that nobody did). Still, I'm curious to see the finished project when it's completed.

[Ginja Ninja | Ep#1]

Ha ha - identical twins... funny stuff. Good job! The animation is solid, and I like how it jumps into a story right away.

Just wondering, what is Dean? A platypus?

AliensOnToast responds:

He's a brontosaurus :D

[Toilet Zone]

Cool short. The background looks great, and I really like the animation.

While I liked the ending (it was definitely unexpected), I think it would have been even better had the character walked past the sink before 'facing his fate'. In my opinion, it wasn't readily apparent that he opted not to wash his hands.

Still, just a small critique. Overall, it was very good.

loberoso responds:

Thank you, man. And I actually thought about that, and some friends said the same... however I hadn't time enought to try to make it clearer :/
But it seems like it worked... so...
Anyway, thanks for the critique! It's always helpful :)

(by the way... I thought the fact of he put his hands in his pockets would be enough to communicate his wasn't going to wash it)

[Beta Testing Fighting]

It's a great start. The movements are very clean (I assume you intended them to be a bit slow). Good arcs on the punches and kicks as well.

It would have been nice to have things a bit more fleshed out and consistent. For example, sometimes you have a background and sometimes you don't. Similarly, sometimes there are two people fighting in the clip, while other times there is only one person. With that said, I realize it's beta testing, and I think it's headed in the right direction. The final piece could be really sweet.

[Partially nude]

I think the idea for the short is there, but it really suffers because of the poor voicings. The flow never picks up because the voices don't have much personality/ inflection, and it's tough follow exactly what they're saying at times.

hellcartoon responds:

Thanks for the constructive feedback. I appreciate it.

[monochrome]

Solid song! And the visuals accompanying the video are also impressive. I'm curious how much time it took you to come up with all the various ideas for the graphics - they were very mesmerizing and matched the song very well. Was is done in C4D?
