IEatBabies's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Turing Test]

Scarey concept!

Love your concept. Lots of hard work into the graphics and everything. Nice job!

Jimtopia responds:

Wow thanks very much. I honestly kinda wish I'd put more time in when it came to details but I appreciate the compliment nonetheless. ^_^

[Dual Arms Verbatim Part 1]

Amazing Effort.

This is an amazing effort and perspiration is 100% what it takes to become great at anything. :) I'm super impressed by the amount of effort that you put into this, particularly the graphics I've noticed.

Nice work, decent art, dialogue isn't bad. Some of the writing could be tweaked, just some of the generic-isms. You must be a Star Wars fan? Or perhaps Dune? X)

But, one BIG issue with this, I would take it down and post in the forums that you want GOOD voice actors to do your work with you. Because you spent SO long on this amazing piece that the voice acting in it cheapens it greatly.

Now this is where most peoples PRIDE get's in the way, 'the voice acting is fine', 'actually I promised a friend he'd do it, I think he did an alright job', blah blah blah I've heard it all before an voices make a HUGE difference. Get some sound guys to help you with soundfx but most important GET a GOOD voice actor(s) because throughout most of this I heard a very young boy/teen/almost man doing several voices, and its most likely you, and he's a TERRIBLE voice actor.

Most people after putting so much time into something don't want anything more to do with it, I know, but what's a tiny bit more time to the quality of your work?

Well I don't know what you're like but if you really worked this hard on something I'm willing bet you have the humility not to be prideful and to recognize that a tiny bit more time with some good voice acting would boost this into the sky! :D

And I'd also like to offer my help with some artwork if you're ever doing another film cause I think you have great potential and I love a guy that works hard. I mean, the time you actually put into this speaks loads about you an disciplined patience is really the rarest gift of all the one the key ones to making it in animation I'll bet. Great stuff! And good luck in your future en devours!

RPGsrok responds:

Frankly this script was done two years ago and I continue to be impressed by how much you guys like the dialogue. I do like me some original trilogy, but all I ever saw of Dune was one of the Scifi Channel adaptations. I like to say I take most of my inspiration from certain well done anime, though nothing in particular springs to mind atm.

I'd like to say it wasn't really pride, but for whatever reason I do think several of the voice actors did good jobs. I am also proud to say that I only contributed two very very minor roles and so for once, I resisted putting myself in a main part. I do agree that there were two people I knew on this project who I felt reluctant to just throw out despite the voice quality (I thought the acting was ok) and one actor I didn't know personally whose performance and quality could've used some cleaning up. You're absolutely right I want no more to do with this, but I also think it's just a touch disrespectful to just replace their voices.

Notably I respectfully say that you are hearing things; if you look in the credits, the only duplicate roles are the extras which really only have some lines in the first scenes. You'd hafta pm me to get the details on who did what, but I assure you no one actor was doing a lot of things throughout (and as I said before, it certainly wasn't me).

I hope you understand my opinions on my actors. There were some I was dissatisfied with, and some I believe were very well done. I think you should also consider that my knowledge of sound design is pathetically limited and bad sound quality may indeed have detracted from some of the acting.

Art-wise I'm pretty good on my own, but if you would like to assist me with the animation itself, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reviewing and please look forward to my next work!

[The Clown Downstairs]

stupid, but funny :D

That was so stupid. lol

But I loved how you drew the guys hands. Well done drawing and animation. Nice stuff :D Great drawings.

JohnDavidHeptinstall responds:

Cheers!

[Phobotech's Flash Test]

Very nice and fluid.

Very nice and fluid for frame by frame. I hope you keep animating :D

Galneda responds:

Oh yes, looks like I'll be animating for a while. :D

[Zone of the Awesome]

A for Effort

Lots of effort in the animation. I can tell it was a lot of work. But I didn't care for the voices, the jokes, and even the animation was cheap and dodgy. Kind of like my stuff. And I never get good scores either. lol

I hate to break it to you but I think you got such a good score/reviews because of the content and the name "Awesome". Its the awesome series, and its a popular game, otherwise you would have been unfairly shit on like the rest of us.

This cartoon gives me the feeling like its a first, or something close to it, so I think you will be great in no time. Work on your writing, and try to use your normal voice more often because I bet it would be nicer than putting on a voice that doesn't suit you.

All in all I'm impressed by the effort and I know how hard animation and all of that is so I really enjoyed and appreciate how much work you put into it. And the animation wasn't terrible, it just needed polishing. Some of the artwork was really good, which tells me you could probably draw almost this whole thing much better if you had the patience. If you don't have the patience I understand and don't hold it against you. lol

Anyways, good effort. Lots of potential! :D

Galneda responds:

This is a great review! Lemme run-down it...

I'll have to disagree with it being a popular game; yeah, people have heard of it, but it's nowhere near, like, Gears of War status or anything advertised in the US. However, looking at the copious amounts of "10's" I get in reviews, which honestly I completely disagree with, it is possible that SOME of the tens were a direct result of it being affiliated with the "Awesome" parodies.

However, as I've said time-and-time again, I have no intention of doing another Awesome flash in the future. About the closest thing to it is I might be picking up Zone of the Awesome where it left off as an NG exclusive web-comic donning the conceptual comic title, "Zone of the Blenders"

...Ehhh, I'll work on the title later...but whatever!

You're right...this and my previous flash are about the extent of my experience in animation. Since I laid the foundation of ZoA all wrong, and learned from TONS of mistakes animating it, I have confidence my future projects will be developed smoother and quicker than this.

Thank you for watching, thanks for the awesome review, and I hope to exceed your expectations of me.

[Blockhead: Episode 11]

Voice Acting

Even though you ripped off Carl, I am still very happy that this is one of the EXTREMLY few cartoons on Newgrounds with GOOD voice acting, on all sides. Nice job. I really like the audio and the overall dialogue. Well done! :)

The-Swain responds:

Carl ripped off me :(

Carl is a jersey accented character, mine is NY. Other than that, they are overweight and dress like slobs :( That's all the comparison I've ever been able to make.

[I owe you my eyes]

Very Nice

I won't really rate it since its a gift for someone. You've got my support. Nice work she will like it I think :)

sniperfolk responds:

thx i appreciate it

[Sketched-Merry Sketchmas]

Home Movies

I liked the banter it reminded me very much of Home Movies styled humor. Nice work~ :)

sirjeffofshort responds:

We seem to get "Home Movies" a lot. I think it's because we aspire to create natural and flowing dialogue that has in 'improv' feel to it. I can definitely see the comparison. Thanks for the review.
