Luis's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Luis Birthday Blast]

I have no idea how you all found the time to make this but i'm infinitely flattered and impressed to live amongst such talented people and even call them friends.

THANK YOU, inb4lois

[Hello Awkward]

All of your work really nails the subtleties and observations of average life, i really enjoy anything you animate. You really work well to sell the action with facial expressions and even when it gets silly and over the top it feels right. Good work on the voice acting ladies.

redminus responds:

Aw jeez thanks Luis!!!

[SleepyCast Animated Ep 01]

The dead Mick head was a nice touch. It was kind of weird watching this considering i live with these weirdos. Did you know Spazkid's room has broken mirror glass glued to the ceiling? Now you know.

ieJoMaFLo responds:

Haha wow, really puts my whole panty pillow thing into perspective.

[Fury of the Double Dragon]

It's so refreshing to see these pop-up once in awhile on the site. Great work on it. It usually irritates me when sprites are tilted in an unnatural way, but that only happend very rarely, loved all the custom work on it. Nice job

[Pitch - Web Design]

Are you taking freelance work for your web design skills? Please e-mail me, i have some clients who might want your services. The cartoon was OK.

[Gym Class Sucks(Unless Yo]

That was fun. I think you could sprinkle in more animated bits into it to spice it up. Like maybe something as subtle as animated stink lines on smelly mark. But yeah, i enjoyed the narration. ill have to subscribe now

itsalexclark responds:

thanks for the note - I totally agree. :) This was one of my older cartoons when I was just starting out - if you hit up my youtube it will have some more animation - (especailly the video I've got coming out next week)

[Urinal Buddies]

Fun little toon. Would be good if there was a replay button somewhere. oh nevermind it eventually drops back to the ad. (still).

The spinning of the camera in the bathroom scene felt a little unnecessary, think it could have just been a harsh cut I think. It feels distracting for it to do that as the rotation it ends up at isnt adding all that much more tension between the characters.

Minor stuff. Also i hate people that sneak a peek, and i hate even more when people try to talk to me!

Brewster responds:

Yeah I actually debated whether or not to add a replay button. There's room for it, so I'm probably gonna go back and add it after I finish typing this. I actually kinda agree with you about the camera spin. When I planned out the whole thing it was supposed to just cut like you said but I saw the opportunity to try it new so I did. I don't think it looks too bad but you're right, it wasn't necessary. Thanks for spilling your thoughts!

[The Weight]

cute movie. The music went well with it and visually it looked great. The bluish palette worked well i thought for the context of the film. The story is a little weak as you've mentioned. It does seem like a stretch even for me to become attached to the characters in such a short time, and particularly for such a heavy subject. I think you do a good job in the last part though to really pull things together. Felt a little all over the place in the beginning. So yeah i do think youre getting better at finishing strong. I remember last year that being something that bugged me about some of your entries.

I like that you revisited and do bother exploring these themes. I find your work refreshing alot of the times and I think your approach of not editing the original was a good one and you should be proud of this submission in itself.

I dont know if you NEEED a more detailed story next time, it wouldnt hurt i guess but i think for a film this length you definately need to be very picky and careful of including parts that are really strong and develop empathy at its highest potential. Kinda like in design, when the simplest things are usually the hardest to pull off because you have such little room to work with.
