artistunknown's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[the real story about garfield's skibidi crack addiction]

this is funnier for me because I also uploaded a cartoon today about garfield doing drugs lmao

I appreciate the fact that this was actually transferred to VHS though, rather than being a digital recreation, that's some dedication!

yesssir

[National Billy Day]

definitely an odd feeling seeing 29 years flash by in 29 seconds

[Billy's Birthday Party]

I can't believe brak is dead

icyentertainment responds:

he will live forever in our hearts...

[Retarded Animal Babies 16]

Good to see this [Redacted] Animal Babies classic again. I don't have a DVD player anymore so it's been a while since I've watched it, but I am glad to be one of those 800 people that own it ;)

It's been so long since I've seen this, I couldn't even remember which one this was, but then as soon as I saw the intro I remembered lol

Quite the fitting episode to remain DVD exclusive for so long.

[Space Junkies : Clock Day]

Space Junkies is the best series on Newgrounds.

icyentertainment responds:

Thank you fine gentleman

[Deep Water]

I really love this new grainy style you've been using, it's especially fitting for something like this. The comedy and atmosphere is great as always.

I was confused by the shrimp at first, but then I read the description and it all made sense lmao

Funnily enough, I too have had a dream involving Jim Sterling, though that was a bit different...

Gerkinman responds:

Hey thanks, I like trying to make my work feel a bit more tactile, im not a fan of super digital feeling work.

Your dream sounds saucy... :P

[True Confessions From a Gay Frog]

Gay frogs are my specialty, and I can assure you, these frogs are 100% gay and that's the way it should be.

[Goliath]

Glad to finally see that this is out! I remember converting it to video for you and wondering why you never uploaded it :p

Yeah, it's not as good as something you could do now, but it's still better than a lot of stuff you see posted online.

As for actual critiques, the animations pretty great for the most part, it's all smooth and dynamic, though some bits look pretty wonky, and there's even missing lipsync, though iirc that was due to time constraints.

The story is interesting, but feels really condensed and doesn't flow too well. There's quite a few pacing issues. That last shot is still as cool as the first time I saw it though.

Overall though, the concept is really cool and would definitely work well as something much longer with more time put into it. Once again, it's great to finally see this released, and I hope to see some more new stuff from you soon!

HowardWimshurst responds:

Wow it is you! That's amazing that you saw this. yes it has been quite a long time since I actually made this. I agree with you that it is a bit wonky and the pacing is... not satisfactory for me. These shortcomings almost stopped me from releasing it. but then i made a video about abandoning projects and I thought that I should follow my own advice. I'm sure that it was worth the few hours of extra effort to get it cleaned up and put out onto the internet, especially after all of that work i put into it. Thanks for helping me with it back in the day. Hope you are doing well!
