RonaldRaven's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Icecream Machine]

That was awesome

Hey, that was some really good stuff. The animation and such was fluid and the movements, expressions, and lip-sync was all top-notch. The voice-acting and dialogue was also really good. Using the stereo sound was a nice touch, especially at the end when the guy was walking towards the viewpoint and you could hear him shifting into the left channel. Overall, it was funny and polished. It was a pretty unique idea, too. Keep up the good work.

Nice work

That was a really clever and unique piece of work. It's refreshing to see something different from everything else out there every once in a while. Great job. The animation was excellent and the music and sound effects worked well. The mood and timing really gave a sort of emotional "feel" to the movie. It was rather short, but got the message across well. I'll be looking forward to what you do in the future.

omg taht wuz teh best!!!11!!

Some of those entries were so random and ridiculous that they were actually funny. Then again, some of it was just stupid. But hey, you win some, you lose some, I guess. I laughed out loud during penor/ninjers battle. That was great.

Well, hmm...

Really smooth and well-concieved animation, and it kind of had the whole "random craziness" thing going for it, but what the hell?

You should either make it more crazy and random or give it more of a plot (Yeah, those are two opposite things, but this was sort of in-between, and thus not much of anything). I could tell you were trying to make this sort of funny and such, but there wasn't enough going on. I mean, what you had was good as far as timing, cinematography, sound, etc. But there could have been more. So maybe next time, something a little longer? Oh, and that little necrophilia joke at the end was kind of...not funny given the circumstances-at least I thought so. But I'm sure some other people got a chuckle out of it. Ah, whatever. You have great animating skills. Keep it up!

I was just making it up as I went along.

[Xombie: Chapter 4]

great as always

As usual, your Xombie series does not disappoint. It's interesting to see how the series develops. The whole thing flows really well. Also, the artwork and animation is getting better. The 3D stuff you had in this episode worked well and was used tastefully. A lot of times 3D stuff in an otherwise 2D movie looks somewhat ackward unless used appropriately, but you did it well. And of course, the music and sound matched nicely. The voice acting is superb. You can tell that they are professionals. So, all in all, great work.

But I will say this though: I kind of liked the character design of Zoe that you had in previous episodes. The new Zoe looks a little too mainstream/cutesy for my taste. I mean, c'mon, she's one of the last living humans, fighting for survival, and she has bows in her hair? Kind of kills the mood. One of the things I admired and respected about the series before was that you sort of steered clear of the more stereotypical animation styles (particularly anime - I like anime, but when people can create a new style that stands out, that's cool). But this is all just my humble opinion. Keep up the good work!

[Days after those days ++]

Wow

Yeah, I just saw your "The Chase" movie, and so now I'm checking out your other stuff, and you definitely have some talent and creative ideas. This movie is really unique, both in the premise and all the crazy stuff that happened throughout. Good stuff.

[The Chase ++]

That was great

That was some really awesome animation, there. That part at the beginning where the camera pans around all over the place must have been tough to pull off, but you did it well. And I was totally thrown off by the ending, which was great. Nice work.

[a hat]

You sir...

...are a comic genius. Good animation and voice-acting, too.

[Yzarc Falls]

Hey, nice work

So you finally got that daily first place that you probably deserved a while back. Nice work. I thought the animation was nice, but not as clean as in your Llama Magic movies. However, since it was a trailer, it worked like a trailer should. It shows some stuff, and makes people wonder about it and want to see the real thing. You did good in that respect. So, yeah, I'm lookin' forward to it.

Oh, and if you need a voice actor or someone to help with the script, I could do both. Message me! I'm "RonaldRaven" on AIM.

[Windows Noises]

Ha!

That was crazy, man! Who would've thought to do that? Well, I guess you did. Nice work.
