etriuswimbleton's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kevin Bacon]

dear TuxedoCatCartoons

So the joke here...Is literally what the title denotes? Because of that, I was able to expect this a mile away, and you met it. Not really that great sorry. It would be better if you added MORE to it than just...This.

Dear etriuswimbleton...your review is longer than my animation.

dear jelloween

Hmmm...More of this skits I see. Judging from your second cartoon, the animation here seems more staggering but nonetheless it has discernable improvements from your last cartoons such as the painted background you had aforementioned. What lacks here though unlike my previous review is the comedy. It was a bit...Not there, Inconspicuous to be exact. And what I mean here is that its barely noticeable. However, despite that, I would suggest continuing with this concept. I like the idea of this blue shirt and pants character going through the days and struggles with the minor hindrances like the cupboard not closing here or him drawing something and ending up breaking and losing the pencil.

To be clear, the idea I would like to suggest is to make this character nonchalantly sigh at every mistake or inconvenience he struggles with during his regular day to day activities. To be broad, make his life sad because of that :P (Schadenfreude alert)

jelloween responds:

Responding to both of your reviews here:

First of all, thank you for taking the time to let me know what you think!
In this one I may have made the rhythm too subtle, I agree. It definitely doesn't hit as hard as The Artist one. What I was going for was the feeling of wanting to resort to violence or overreaction, and that being ultimately useless. He can't move forward by giving in to his anger and that just makes him feel worse. With the name I was going for multiple meanings, he's at the water tap, then of course he hits his head etc. It's too subtle though.

I don't know if I'll continue this specific guy, but yes I wanna make more cartoons about minor annoyances. They make me laugh and they're fun to make. I have two more made right now that I couldn't upload because you can only upload two a day. They're a little different. I'm excited to see what you think about them.

Thanks again for the reviews.

[Undertale- Don't Spare Sans]

dear RockOnAnimations

Well done on the animation, Was this your first? Anywho if you say you're pretty young for an animator, then that's great. Follow your passion and all that. But anyways back to the video. It was well...Cliche' already to be honest, I apologize though but I'd already expected this to happen due to the fact of the popularity of Undertale and its endings. So the comedy wasn't all that oustanding but judging from your animation skills...It looks good for a young animator. May I humbly ask how old are you? If this was your first then you did a good job at it. But if it wasn't, Then try to improve a bit.

RockOnAnimations responds:

Well, I'm 14. I got into art some time ago, then I found some animation software and I started to animate with that. It's actually made for stick animations, this was kinda just an experimental video to see how this would go. Obviously, I can see why it was made for stick animations. :) My stick animations are in my opinion a bit better than this.i am just starting out, and I appreciate your feedback. :)

dear ForestLake

If you're going for a strange music video...Then you've did it almost perfectly. This is what I would expect out of one too. The music itself was really good I like it especially space! I love space! The plot was really hard to decode but I think I get it. It's like the dog has a mission to find its own habitable planet but during the flight the dog turned into a sentient being and found one place he can call home...Pretty cool. Now whenever I hear this music again, I would probably conceive this exact video in mind. Thanks for the nightmares :P

You decoded the plot precisely :)

P.S. You are welcome for the nightmares :)

[Hacker Mind]

dear RenaissanceGrounds

Wow you guys again! You've been posting lots of films here and there and I thought this was just another , (Pardon me) mediocre film but as you mentioned in your author's comments. This was an animation smorgasbord made Implemented with various mediums. Well done. Everything was well executed and well made. From the graphics, the drawings, the special effects, the story, the sounds and music and even the voices all were intriguing enough to engross my attention till the end. Kudos! Have a Chunky Cookie!

Hello Etriuswimbleton, and thanks for watching and writing such a detailed response.

Back in 2012 I made a flash announcing Hacker Mind, I was even going to make the film exclusive to Newgrounds. The film ended up being bigger than I realized and I realized I could never release it as a flash. It's out on my YouTube, deviantART, and Vimeo channels with slightly better graphics.

Once I realized Newgrounds was letting people upload VIDEOS (not just flash) I went crazy and uploaded the best stuff I made... since then I've gone back and deleted live-action and/or Newgrounds type stuff :P

p.s. nice job w/ your youtube channel.

dear Shivayya

Animation looks good enough. And how come it looks like he's living in a Simpson's Household?
There was a major flaw in this one. It would've been funnier if it had SFX and music associated with this. Yeah you just have to put that in and it would get significantly funnier. But that's just my opinion. At least I understand what you're going for here but the lack of sound FX makes it look dull. Despite that this has the potential to reach the portal.

well thanks for the advice i will definitely consider your points for my next work.

[Joaquin Sabina - No Permita La Virgen]

Dear CondePablo

So I did some research and this looks like an animation tribute to MR. Joacquin Sabina and his song?
Well The hand drawn animations were really great. Gives me that indie film vibe. But It was really short. So it must be a trailer perhaps? Anyways I'm sorry if you can't understand me. And hopefully you do.
I'll just rate this as it is. It was short, it uses the song so its not really yours, Its pretty much a trailer of some sort. And Honestly I don't get the message. But anyways I'll give this a 3 because you have some talent with the hand drawn frame by frame there.

CondePablo responds:

Hi! thanks for your interest!!!
its the first of a series that i call "animated fragments", its not a trailer. the idea is create animated interpretation of parts of songs, or poetry. something really short, quick and fluid. something that works as it is (the phrase that animate has a beginning and end, it works separately of the song).
and each "animated fragments" can have differents styles and esthetics

[Uploading Sandwich uh Message]

dear Debito

Umm okay, what's with the unnecessary and unwarranted baby noises? You're making it sound as if that its childish to conceive overwhelming positive feedback when it comes to uploading Stuff. Well I understand where your going here. The struggle when you think you did good with your submission then it all just boils down to receiving hate and troll messages afterwards. Although my verdict here is that the comedy is just bland to me...Maybe I have a low sense of humor (considering this is categorized in the comedy section) but well it didn't cut out for me, sorry. Anyways animation is good. Your drawings are pretty good though. But watching this is kind of awkward to be frank.

Debito responds:

dear etriuswimbleton,

thank you for your quick respond
and sorry if i have offended you in any way.
this is just what happened to me and i just tried to make an animation out of it ;D
i try to make it up to you next time.
For my next goal I want to try a different approach a more serious animation .
hope that will satisfy you more. i'll try better next time.
and i wish you every success in your career on youtube!
thanks for your review it helped me a lot.

[The Grey men]

dear animationaddict

Okay first of all...The sounds. Some of the choices of the music here is horrible. Especially with the "Let's Fight" scene. Also with the talking Alien black robe figure. The sounds are just amplified to egregious levels it hurts my ears. But anyways back to the animation at hand. Well you did a good job on the animation, but the story is literally confusing. All I could understand from this is well from your Author's comments. The animation itself didn't explain it further yet give a solid point. All I see here is people go to some kind of cult church, then get into an abrupt fight for no reason, then one guy gets punched and it ends there. I...I really don't know what you're going for here. At first I was expecting some gritty, hallucinating, and creepy skit but this just looks incomplete to be honest.

animationaddict responds:

I see from your submission list that audio is your thing so I appreciate your critic of my folly work. Im glad you were able to discern the identity of the Grey Men being aliens, I think the voice might have helped you with that.
As for being incomplete, have you ever watched the Aeon Flux shorts created before the show was made? I try to build shorts that give a glimpse into a world with a unique mythos. But leaving them open allows me to come back to it if it calls for it. You seemed to have gotten most of the main points although there is another idea at play regarding 2D vs. 3D. I would suggest considering your lengthy review maybe watching it again and think about these ideas.
Also I'll be featuring the work in some film festivals this year, Do you have some audio you would rather see in the "lets fight" scene. Let me know
Thanks for watching

[Uncle Gwandpa]

Dear Ex-Poser

This is really well done. Humor is actually spot on and captures the gullibility and stupidity of the show itself but into exaggerating levels which makes it all the more funny. Pizza steve on the other hand lost his complexion and begins to question his relationships with the two. Which is what I would do if I was him. But it would've fit if it was Gus since he is usually the one who questions everything the group does in the show. In the back of my head I was expecting a pedophilia joke. It would've really fit here due to the fact that Uncle Grandpa suddenly interrupts and unwarrantedly involves himself into every random child nearby coping with their struggles in life. Anyways I love how you depict facial animations like the last review I did before. You have a knack in doing, that well done. The ending though, Although it had me genuinely surprised it was also satisfying. To be frank I really have a slight Antipathy against Uncle Grandpa and his show. Its just so blatantly weird not quaint. The humor in it is just random and unsuiting. Well...That was a review...I didn't know I wrote this myself but anyways good job and cheers!

Ex-Poser responds:

Thanks for another lengthy review etriuswimbleton, I appreciate the praise regarding my style while also expressing things I can work on. I guess when referring to Mr Gus being the serious one, I tried shifting the character spotlight over to pizza Steve mainly because I don't necessarily like Mr Gus. It's not that I despise of him, it's just I think it'd be funnier if pizza Steve, the one who is usually the "cool" one, to just flip out and go crazy. This way I can target Mr Gus, the one who mildly does what pizza Steve does in this animation.

Relating to the paedophile reference, it's just, perverted humour towards kids, even in animations just isn't really my taste. And even if I felt comfortable with that alternative, the reason why I started creating the animation was purely to target what the show is like, to me, in an exaggerated view. And because the vocals were all improvised in a short period of time, the story doesn't really go anyway other than with uncle grandpa and his silly shenanigans. If I had to do it again I probably would introduce more of the shows characters in a more professional, laid out manner, but for the sake of time and dry pan comedy, this is the end result. Thanks for the positivity with my facial drawings, it takes a long time to get that all drawn up and coloured. Again, thanks for the review.
