TonioMiguel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Faces Ep.2]

At least you gave a valid attempt

My suggestion would be to use different characters for your lip syncs like _ and )( symbols. Just remember to have fun!

DP responds:

K i guess....

[KILLROY 10 part 1]

An end to all ends

How can one not love a onslaught of evil. This has the same rye humor that made Killroy 1 till now great. I will try to get to see the next installments. Very good use of plot mixed with the Killroy style.

Uptown-SlimJim responds:

Glad you liked it. Wanted to cap it off in just the right way.

[Clayland - Stranded]

Mouth manipulations by far a good start

You had some good work here. I like the mouths although they didn't seem super natural they were in sync. The characters had a decent amount of work and it didn't seem too rushed. I feel the only element lacking was a good story. It seemed too improvised.

TechFlash responds:

yeah, it was really just a test claymation, but thanks.

[Color Collab]

It was not perfect but it rocked!

I really enjoyed watching this. You all did a great job sticking to the theme and having a great time. Anyone who thinks this is mediocre does not understand how hard it is to be a fantastic animator. I have taught animation and good ones usually come out in individuals and not large groups. You should all be proud of yourself.

I hope to see bigger and better work from all of you!

TheGreatPatten responds:

I really enjoyed reading this. Thanks alot for the support and review my man

[Little Man, Big Adventure]

Not spectacular but different

It does not matter if it is super high quality what matters is that you show us some effort which you did very well. I could see there was a thought process to this. I also felt your masking and layering were above par. No the characters were not spectacular but that's okay.

Keep up the good work!

Chrono-Bono responds:

Thanks, =) Will do.

[F.U.: AutoBlowBile]

I love you guys

I can't say that any other group really makes me laugh the way you guys do. The comedy was a good if not better than ever. I really enjoyed all the subtle jokes. My only disappoint is nobody PM me with needs for objects like you folks asked earlier.

Also I am not trying to be mean but the graphics were a bit rushed and were by no means up to the par of the other episodes. Its still great but it left something to be desired on the graphic edge.

rockymike responds:

Hey, good to hear from you again. To be honest, this flash was kind of rushed (It was completed in under two weeks). This isn't the video I was wanting the object design for. Aside from F.U. 3 (which I think Luke is doing all the art design for) I think I'll need your help on the Halloween episode, if we can get production started on time. Send me a PM if you don't here from me by June. Things have been coming at me quick lately and I'm slowly regrouping. Again, sorry for the lack of response and thanks for the review.

[Trescientos Años]

A nifty idea

I felt this was well portrayed and it was neat to see history portrayed by FF3. Yet, it would have been nice to have heard an old camera in background and perhaps some classical music.

Speakonia is a great tool but as you noted limited in enunciation. The trick is to use the English phonetic and its phonemic sounds to make it work.

Villalobos would sound better it you wrote Veeyah Lowboes to get the correct pronunciation.

Nice peace all the same.

PacoBH responds:

Thanks!
And I pronounce Villalobos the way the computer pronounces it, by the way.

[Halo ROTR]

Nice dialogue but silent film does not work

I really loved the dialog and the gestures were actually half decent. The lack of talking really bugged me. Since they are supposed be low intelligent characters perhaps a hillbilly or redneck voice could work.

Nicely animated but majorly needs sound.

evilmutantmonkey responds:

Thanks for the sudjestions, it's just my mic isn't working the best, so i can't do voices, but i apreciate the good comment

[Steve´s Secret]

Amatuer but likable

The graphics were basic at best but not horrible. I would suggest studying the human figure a bit more. Lip syncs seemed to work.

Your strengths so far are direction and story telling. I felt it was simple to follow and liked it better because of it. I felt the comedy may have been old school but good for a decent laugh.

Nice work!

Shadowii2 responds:

Yeah, I have thought a lot of making better characters but those are enough for me now...
And thanks!

[The Correspondance]

A new twist with major improvements

Hey Gary,

Definitely a good choice of purchasing a tablet. I really liked this new piece although it shows great improvement you still have not lost your rather random nature. For a second there I thought you had given up on flash.

I felt your strengths were in lip syncs and fluid animation such as the flying birds. The walk cycle looked rather strange and bizarre. I like how dismal your character seemed and the lottery at the end was good for a laugh.

For now, I am student teaching and hopefully certified by May. I hope to see more original work from the masterful mind of Custard Cartoons. Keep in touch!

CustardCartoonsInc responds:

Toni-Toni-Toni-Tonioooo!
xD Nice to hear from you, I thought you'd given up on Newgrounds!

I'm glad you like the new animation style. It was quite something to do (still, no match for your wonder of nature :P). And yes, maybe i can touch up on the rather strange and bizzarre things so hopefully that 8 might change. Next time, i'll work harder on a story. I thought this looked nice, just... wasn't that funny.

Still, glad you liked it!

Check out the new Book-Man too!
