Ozone's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

But I don't live with my parents :( This lady is a real jerk.

[Day Job: 1 Star Review]

Woah! This conversation got pretty heated!

[Wasteland Forever Regret]

This has some really cool ideas in it. The art quality is decent enough to get some idea across, scenes like the rat nightmare made me chuckle. But I'm not sure what the tone it's going for as the tags say creepy and suspense, but really if feels surreal humor with the art style and writing.

Orsolonn responds:

Thank you for the feedback :)

[My REJECTED Sketch Collab 2023 entry]

finally got around to removing the watermark!

[Samus vs Ridley]

The audio of the sfx is fighting with the game music and is only in the left channel. This could be cool for having the soundscape move with Samus, but it kind adds to the muffled nature of the SFX because they're only in one channel. (Just saw your description, I feel you there)

A suggestion for the floor of the environment is to have a reason why samus jumps over that area like a bigger hole that isn't traversable or maybe some acid or spikey plants to match the background. It looks very cool to see her morph ball to wall cling, to jumping over into a run, but she just could have hopped over that area with no trouble and kept running so the pacing feels sluggish due to extra movements (But it does look cool so there's that).

This is still a storyboard so it's cool to have fun with things in a stage where reworking them won't take too much. Interested in seeing what else is is being done with this idea! Don't lose to the audio!
Edit: No worries! Keep up the good work!

Buster98 responds:

Yo! I really appreciate the feedback dude. I didn't even realise half that shit, so that's super helpful.
I'm currently working on another animated short rn, but I definitely wanna return to this after.

Thanks again! 🔥

I thought that toribash going to be the winner and it turns out that I was the winner.

[wario dies horribly]

I'm glad he's dead.

[The Snow Man]

Nice Christmas film, I'm gonna leave you a little Christmas surprise in your inbox. (/srs not a joke)

[Solar Girl vs. Another Giant Robot]

Nice work.

Orbitten responds:

Thank ye.

[Top and RabRab - Player 3]

This feels like a "multiplayer" on steroids. The quality of the writing is decent. Very simple plot that's super easy to follow, but sometimes way too simple. Parts like the mean preppy girls who hate specifically the thing the bullied friend like troupe and the "Woah you're really cool!" "Huh? uhh I guess I am haha" were to be expected. But it had fun moments like Top and Rab trying to buy the game with tokens were fun as well as top actually being able to do the shell thing was also pretty fun. There's just a weird feeling that Gessica is putting herself out there to be used again just because they were the first people to be nice to her, but considering how this is for a student film it makes sense to keep this stuff short and simple. With more time, more characterization could be worked in.

Presentation is very consistent and budgeted in an appealing in a way that would work well as an online web series for kids.

The sound levels/ microphone quality can be kind of funky, I can't put my finger on it, but sometimes it feels like the voices are competing with the bgm and certain voice takes don't match in quality to others. It wasn't extremely noticeable for the most part, but was there.

All in all this didn't feel like someone making a student film, but rather an animation pilot or an already running show so Good job!

RylanLego responds:

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the video, and I appreciate the criticism. I did indeed have to keep things simple for the most part as a student film, and I apologize about any audio quality issues 😅 (Voices were recorded in two different states) but I'm so glad you see the potential in this! I'd love to make even more fun stories and explore the characterization in the future :)
