Exedor's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[JourneyJaybeats logo initiative]

This was boring, frankly. this is not an animation, and this is not a game. If you need help, voice actors, collaborators, ideas, etc, go to the forums. You'll find it there. The biggest problem, tho, is the popup at the end. Un-announced and/or automatic popups are not allowed.

This is not designed to entertain you.

[The George Washington Rap]

If you didn't make it, then please do not submit it. It's a fairly easy concept there, bro. ;)

[Lullaby - Dakar Livnat]

Hi, and welcome to Newgrounds! :) You must be new around here. Now, you do know that Newgrounds is a site for animation and games, right? Yeah, there's a reason that the other things you see on here are drawn.

Now, the song was good, and we do have the Audio Portal, so please(!), submit the song there, where it can be appreciated. But when the occasional 'real video' does come thru, the score usually suffers here, because we prefer to stick to animations and games.

Newgrounds is a site for animation. There may be a few videos here and there that go against that but generally all videos on the site are some sort of animation. If it's not already, then I suggest you upload this to sites like Youtube or Vimeo and see how you do there, but Newgrounds tends to prefer animated material. :)

[Matrix Fail]

Yes, you're getting better. Yes, you still have a lot to learn, still. But you're trying and not giving up, and that's the trait that makes artists get good, and eventually get great.

Yeah, low score on this one, cuz it's short and ends abruptly. But someday... ;)

You're still at Level 1 rank. You might want to watch stuff and vote and get some EXP and rank. It'll help you figure out what'll go over well and what wont. :)

LonelyGamerBod responds:

This is also not just an animation site it dose both and nothing is stopping me but I am learning animation at the moment.

[DWO S1 Teaser 1]

Yes!! Bring this! It'll be nice to more quality animation come thru!

The only thing I'd suggest, based on this teaser, is take care on your audio levels. The music over-played the talking, and I couldn't get what they said til the music was over.

[mw3 sniper montage]

Newgrounds is for animations and games that you have created. Gameplay footage doesn't count, and is actually against the rules.

oh i didnt know

[Samurai motion test]

Looks like you're getting the hang of it. This hints at great things from you in the future. For now, tho, it's nowhere near ready to be put up.

With that being said, please don't submit tests or unfinished things to the Portal. If people submit unfinished things, then this will become an unimpressive site. Would you hang out on a site where none of the movies or games are completed? Think about it.

If you want feedback, tips, and ideas, that's fine, but this isn't the best place for this. The Portal is for finished items. The Forums are what you want. Load this into your Dumping Grounds. It's the third icon from the left at the very top of the page when you're signed in. It looks like a bucket with an arrow pointing down. Once it's loaded there, copy and paste the link into the Forums (Community>Forums). That way, people see it and give tips, which is what you want, but it's not in the Portal, filling your account with low scores or blams, which you don't want.

The Portal isn't for tests or unfinished submissions, tho: http://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-information/content-submission

Good luck. :)

SirKnightTheHero responds:

yep, didnt know about that. (first time using NG)

is there a way to move this after being posted?

[Watch Me Draw: HD Survives Cupcakes]

While speed draws are allowed, this is very slow and waaaay too long. I'd suggest making it into a speed paint; your screen capture software should have that option. But as for this, I can't get behind it. It's just way too long and drawn out, and I'm not sure it even qualifies as acceptable Newgrounds material.

One author who does a lot of speed-paints is mysticskillz: http://mysticskillz.newgrounds.com/movies/

If you'd like to see some speed draws in action, watch some that he's put up. Also, hang out on Newgrounds a while and learn what we do here. that way, you'll have a better idea of how we do things, and what will go over well. :)

TwiDash-FTW responds:

I know how to do speedpaints, but this was something very special. I would've sped up me drawing the black outline but my editing program doesn't allow that so I was stuck with this. I know it is slow, but I wanted people to see HOW I draw these things without it being so fast and I wanted to explain. Sometimes I did get distracted but It's still acceptable knowledge for some people. I appriciate your concerns, but I think I'm good right now.
