Vincoid's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Triangle n' Octagon]

Amazing!

Keeping the spirit of NG alive there, huh?

Up untill now I've always thought the front page was meant for movies that showed talent. Sure, some pop up once in a while that lack talent but are in some way unique just plain funny.

Too bad that's not the case right now.

I have a hard time believing, well actually I don't because I know it's bullshit, but this would've never made front page if you weren't working for NG. Seriously, this movie (for lack of a better suiting name) lacks pretty much everything it can miss to make a great movie, so why would anyone put it on the front page? It's not even funny!

Great submission get lost in the portal while at the same time this shit takes it's rightful place. Do you think that's worth it? You having a few laughs because this bullshit is on the frontpage and people complaint about it, while at the same time a movie that someone worked on for weeks or months is overlooked?

I'll give you 3 stars for the qualities you've shown us in this movie:
- You can talk and record it: go you!
- You can tween shapes (that's an underrated quality)!
- Bonus point for actually getting me to write this!

I'm not expecting a serious reply to this so just go ahead, be yourself, and write something about dicks or something (because that would be terribly original!).

Love,

Vincoid.

JohnnyUtah responds:

another SERIOUS SAM...

anyways I WOULD make a dick joke, as that would be more original than your oblivious rant here. not everything revolves around ART and ANIMATION.

there's plenty of well drawn and animated stuff on this site that's also TERRIBLE. movies you no doubt gave high scores to, because you're a pinhead.

[FC Tells Da Truth]

Amazing!

Damn I enjoyed that!

Animation was smooth and enjoyable as always, just like your use of color.

I have to ask you though, what is going on with all the Nazi and Hitler stuff in your movies. I enjoy it, but I'm wondering why you put it in there (though it's obvious why it is in this one).

Gotta say that I love the tiny little things in your movies though. For example, in this movie, right in the beginning, the oven full of burning Jews. Not that I have anything against Jewish people or anything, but it's just on eof those tiny details that add to the feel of the entire animation.

I also like how 'Santa' doesn't look like any other Santa I've ever seen. Another one of those things that make your animations so unique.

Catoblepas responds:

they're just fun to add. it's the simplest, most offensive logo that's easy to hide.

["Treat"]

Pretty nice

I like the atmosphere, but there was some definite room for improvement animation wise.

Let's start with the atmosphere. I liked the flashes, sudden images and distortions. Those things add a lot to a movie, certainly one supposed to be creepy.
The frame around the movie added to the atmosphere too, as well as the overlying texture.

When it comes to animation, I saw a lot that could be better. First thing I noticed was the walkcycle. I'm pretty sure you've noticed it too, but his legs don't move forward and backward, but circle around the middle.

Then there was the lip sync, or the lack off. Of course, this was in the extra part of the movie so I can't really blame you for that, but it would've added a lot to the movie.

The alternative ending was pretty funny though, I give you that.

SaltyPeach responds:

Hey, your better then most people here who give me around 4-6. You put your time to criticize, and I thank you for that.

Do not forget though that I only had 2 weeks to do this. Maybe 14 hours total.

Anyhow, thanks.

["trick or treat?"]

WHAT TEH FUCK?

Threw you off there, didn't I?

I love this movie man, I think it's a little gem in its own Boogley sort of way. Also reminds me of some of the more experimental animations I've seen on the net, especially in Zekey's cartoon posts.

As for the movie itself, I think the animation was great. Of course, your usual fbf style which I love for its stability, while still remaining squickly. The movement and pace of the movie were great and fit nicely with the music. Could really feel the creepy atmosphere because of that combination.

It's pretty short, though I can't really blame you, for a weekends work, it's great.

Now go write some totally unrelated yet witty reply for which we all love you ;)

Love,

Joe Pesci.

TheBoogley responds:

When I was a kid, we used to have scones with jam and cream at tea time...
But then, one day it stopped. :(

[Magician]

Very Nice

I really like this. Those simple graphics really go well with the style of animation you used here. Great use of fbf in there as well as smooth tweening.

Some things didn't quite fit though. I found the music a bit too slow and too soft. The animation itself was a bit slow too.

Besides those two things, I thought this was great. Great sense of humor (the vaults) and great clown :P
The endig was great too.

Vincoid

Jaded989 responds:

the slow soft music was kinda intentionally slow and soft. sorry it didnt work for you.
but glad you enjoyed it.

[like a duck (colour)]

Awesome FBF ;)

This stuff is great. I really like the FBF and all the morphing.

Two things though: the sound was a bit of in the end, and why the hell is your score so low? This should easily get an 3.9 or something ;)

Keep doing your thing and I hope to see some more awesome animations from you in the future ;)

TheBoogley responds:

Cheers Vincoid, YOUR animations are brilliant!

[Tales Of A High Man]

Nice

Nice animation, great style. One thing though, you've got to learn how to optimize your audio. Your filesize is way to big for a short animtion like this one just because of the song you've put in without optimizing it.

BreakYoSelf responds:

actually i did optimize it. i just wanted the full song in there, thats y its a big file

[++Of the Fallen++ Intro]

Very nice

Great job man, nice graphics ;)

Only thing really missing was a bit of animation besides the mouths and the wave at the end.

4/5 ;)

jeyoriginal responds:

haha, thank you
yea, I'm sorry, I am a complete beginner at animation so I didn't have much

[The Game, Boy.]

Meh

The movie wasn't that good, nice to see you're trying fbf though.

The movie wasn't laggy by the way. This is caused by the flash banners on NG itself. If you tell them to stop playing and turn the quality to low then the lagginess will stop ;)

Blahface responds:

Ah ok.
Does anyone like the music?

[Robot K15]

Nice

Even though the graphics weren't all that great (you can do better I think, judging from the humans) you created a certain fealing in your movie which made it pretty cool. Overall a pretty good movie, no irritating noises or something, a bit slow but that's a part of the feeling and some mysterious story ;)

I might be wrong but that last picture made me think of Tom and April :)

Pandoryk responds:

If graphics are simple, that's because I wanted it, but yes it could be a bit better than that. Time is the Evil, that's why i didn't work more hours on it.
About the photo, hum no link! :P I drew it from a personal photo (where I'm wearing a wig, but it's for the photo :P )
Thx for the review! ^^
