Manderby's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[BLACKOUT CARTOON - FIRST GAME]

You got your place on YouTube. Ditch the ad. Otherwise stay there.

[the curse of the mummy]

Brilliant.

[Kill Wolfy]

Fantastic animation, as usual. The character desing lacks a bit though. Did not realize the fighter being a ram at all till the end.

But the topic. Is this necessary? The theme of Racism, or Homophobism nowadays is only provocation in itself. So... good thing you animate perfectly as this makes watching the fights enjoyable at least.

[Time Travel Paradoxes (Animated Infographic)]

4 Stars for the animation effort. 3 for Voice acting which is ok but not very lively.
1 Star minus for "Subscribe and Comment" being part of the video. Don't do this please. At least you kept it short.

RedOwlCS responds:

Thanks for your ideas! Will fix them in the next video. :)

[Poisoning Pigeons: The Animation]

Wow, first, I thought that was plagiarism because there is another rather famous austrian artist Georg Kreisler which has pretty much the same chancon: "Tauben vergiften im Park". But after a little research it seems it is the other way around that Kreisler stole this song from Tom Lehrer. Or maybe not. It is not entirely clear. But who cares. The animation is nice. :)

[The Adventures of Chutney Glaze Season One Trailer!]

Every now and then, there is a new kid in town here on Newgrounds, turning the rules upside down, creating new ideas, challenging existing concepts. You are one of those "kids". That's why I love spending time on this platform. Congrats on the first "Season", looking forward for what you have in mind!

ChutneyGlaze responds:

I love this comment, it is so cool! Thank you so much Manderby!

[Tiny Cop Cars]

This must have been quite some work you spent there! Your camera movements are both playful but also sophisitcated. They show that you care very much. Kudos!

jellyeyes responds:

Thanks :)

[Take On Me Collab]

Why am I enjoying this so much?

[IN-SHADOW: A Modern Odyssey]

Please team up with Genndy Tartakovsky and James Lee. Make a modern-life knighthood story or somethong else which could grow epic.

And even if you don't: Kudos!

[Fatal Portrait]

Nice!

It has some flaws, like the candle, which would make cool lighting effects, but the room looks always very bright. Already pointed out by others, what is the reason the protagonist is in this museum? A short pre-story like a chase from a gang in the rain with an escape to that museum would have helped. And from the moment where she sees the fatal portrait, the scene cuts could have been even quicker, for example just the fraction of the second where the mouth blows out the candle. Would have been an even more shocking ending.

But still: nice!

RandomHeri responds:

Thank you for the suggestions, I guess the story would have been better if it showed how she got to the house. Since I had a deadline this was the best I could have fleshed it out to. But I think the best way I could have done this was show it through the paintings how she got there. Concern with the cuts I think they were fine how they are. When I was working out the timing I did have the cuts quicker but it just didn't sit right to me so I made them how they are.

Thank you for the critique it'll be very helpful for when I do my next short :)
