joeartguy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dealers and Errors]

The music and sound is decent, and it looks like you have a few ideas. I appreciate that you made the effort, but this needs a lot more work to be passable. Get your objects in frame, smooth out the most terrible jitters, and put in a stop at the end and a replay button. You don't need to be a brilliant artist to do those things!

[Polly Otter: Dave's Job]

This was horrible but it did make me appreciate the beauty of nature, and wonder what happened to my old Game Boy. I think somebody stole it. (My Game Boy, not nature.)

[Flower Girl]

An excellent exercise, with great motion and crazy appropriate sound effects. Impressive!

[Dan The Man Stage3]

These are unbelievably great for sprite movies! Your harnessing of common 16-bit side-scrolling gameplay and conventions to tell a complex story with surprising humor and emotion, interesting visual metaphors and rich characterizations is both innovative and fascinating -- particularly since you've done it all without text or dialog. Your timing is superb and your story construction is terrific. Well done for surprising me!

StudioJOHO responds:

Appreciate the detailed feedback, and compliments to timing. From animatic to rushes I hack and hack until there's as few wasted frames as possible.

[Paints His Soul]

It bore at least two watchings to begin to fathom its ways and depths, which was worth another half star at least. Bizarre and excellent work, challenging and hilarious in its very short time frame. My only real criticism: it seems like you barely scratched the surface of this. YAY ART.

[Pokeball Z]

This is probably the stupidest non-meme I've ever hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Deadly Space Action #14]

The sound quality was great and the frenetic pacing was perfect. Some mighty fine comedy -- that's MY secret fetish!

[Calvin & Hobbes Tiger Pounce]

This is an excellent peice of animation! Particularly nice work on the sound, very appropriate and unintrusive.

[the majesty of music]

To witness such majesty... it is a once in a lifetime event. Thank god.

[Magical Piss]

Way better than expected! The song is catchy and the animation decent. Thumbs -- and other parts -- up!
