MantisGirl's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[[Lipsync test] Clown Date]

The animation is very expressive and full of personality but gets crippled by the camera movements. I think what you where trying to do was make it seem like someone was holding the camera, but I think more study needs to be done on what a held camera looks like.

That said I don't think the held camera effect is necessary. Since the characters are so animated it subtracts from their movement and creates an extremely disorienting effect (which doesn't benefit the animation). In fact, I would give a much higher rating if the camera just stayed static and did simple cuts.

[CANNED SOUP]

The perspective and composition in every shot is so wonderful, it really drags you into the world that was created. And the animation style, as always is really wonderful, it's not complex but the way things where tweened and eased in and out feel very retro and fresh.

[FRIDAY NIGHT GLITCHING]

Favorite entry, the way they move is so funny and the way they're designed

[XETIS Episode 1: PILOT]

I'm loving the character design, and there voices. The animation isn't always 100% perfect but it's quite forgivable.

[We Heart Earth: Bars from Mars]

I love this. I love how out of place billy feels among literal martians. They're such a personality, and the idea of them being an actor is really funny. I really liked how the art style shifted for the movie, such a goofy idea.

[Let Her Know (Or Something)]

The characters are so expressive, but they don't feel very exaggerated either. It feels like Audrey is singing a dumb song to Victor without any planning which is so perfect.

[Apple Kid Good Boi]

Watched this like 3 times. The timing was nicely done.
