His-Majesty-Jackson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[All Work 2008 & Before.]

Right on

Haven't seen any of your work since JA died. Makes me miss watching everyone's boxman animations. Good stuff. Hope you're still doin your thing.

Jae responds:

I definitely am. I remember you, too! How have you been? (PM)

[-Love at First Sight-]

Sweet

Seeing a collab like this was a blast from the past. Makes me miss the days of JA2. Everyone did good jobs, and it brightened my day to watch great animators whose work I hadn't seen in a long time.

Zwickel responds:

JA2...

[Base 17 ::03::]

Nice

The animation was quite good for something on NG. Glad to see that there were hardly any tweens, but for the love of god do some life drawing! It appears you have a firm concept of how to draw from anime, but if you practiced with drawing from life you could improve greatly so your art matches your animation.

Otherwise it was an enjoyable watch. It had a good atmosphere which immediately set the mood of the piece, and was executed very nicely and quietly. The blue haired guys acting left something to be disered, but the blonde girl was one of the better internet voice actors I've heard. This was a solid piece, and only staggered in a few places like art and some audio mixing where it was hard to hear the voices. Keep going, you have great potential and I look forward to your future work.

Bubbowrap responds:

I literally laughed at the first paragraph; I finish my figure drawing class on Tuesday, and I started the class well after I finished the Flash xD Just found it sort of ironic.

Thank you! Hopefully, I won't let you down!

[~SpeedAnim:FreedomParty~]

Good.

I'm glad to see that people are practicing like this instead of just the typical NG "tween the shit out of everything" approach. While you skimped on animating some of it, you did above average on the parts you did animate.
What I can see you need work on are your general motions. The characters seemed a little stiff. You need to make your motions huge and noticable! Don't be afraid to push your limits. Have the characters whole body rotate with a punch, so you have a nice long powerful motion. From there you can work on your followthroughs, to make the motions seem still larger and more realistic. I'd really like to see more of these, next time pushing the boundaries far out of your comfort zone with new poses, giant motions, and working on making things appear as if they have weight and mass using followthroughs.

SpikeVallentine responds:

thanks for your honesty. I'm working on another one now and i've improved. but yeah, okay yeah, my line art needs practice, that's why my animation is not the greatest, it's the line art. so these excerisses makes me reaal comfortable

[Cats R Us]

...

Ok, how the hell did this get on the front page!? This is crap. Its still in the latest 5 and its on the top of the front page. If this isnt some autovote thing then i dunno what the hell NG has come to...

Rubbertje responds:

Haha.. Ahem...

[FF7 Viva la revolution]

Just no.

You destroyed a good comic. It takes no skills to trace over someone's work and use their jokes. Plus the parts that you DID do, (ie lip sync, and tweens) were terrible. How this got front page is a mystery to me. Learn flash and do something of your own.

Ultralink responds:

I didnt trac ANYTHINg u dumb fool.

And well.

[ClockDay2005:RIP MusClock]

Oh my god.

Tweening out of a badly drawn scene for 3 minutes. I wish that You had given up on flash. Don't pull a pity thing with that crap.

BurningAfterTheDawn responds:

The only reason that this thing was made was so I could have something slide onto the portal. It was Clock Day and I decided to throw something together in about 20 seconds or less and throw it on to the portal for the sake of having a couple of portal entries. I'm working on a flash that actually has effort put into it though so look out for that in the next few months maybe if I don't quit working on it before then.
