Jacob's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pico's Brother]

Nice!

The voice acting was alright.. But the storyline was absolutely fantastic! I love the idea of his brother being the P-Bot. Also, the way you turned Newgrounds into a city, and the portal into realistic ones. This really was a fantastic video. :D

[Fulpgrounds]

Heh.

For some reason this was actually quite entertaining. I'd at least like to keep this on, for the sake of it. :3

Thanks!

[Pivot Collection]

Nice :3

After reading the title, I thought this would be nothing but Pivot, and that I'd be forced to blam it - which, by the way, I hate doing - but then I saw that you did add several Flash components, so I think it counts. ^-^
Anyhow: Though the figures didn't move very realistically, the animations were hilarious, and I would definitely love to see your sense of humor put into some Flash-style animations. I'm going to try to keep this up, in hopes that Pivot isn't illegal here. XD

Ooh, it is? Because I have a V2 of this, am I allowed to upload it?

[Braille Clock]

I love the concept XD

I have NO earthly idea how this will be received, whether it be blammed or loved. I personally found the concept hilarious. It may get blammed, though, if only because people won't find it 'Fun and exciting.'

Nothing less than fantastic.

I have seen this film MANY times since the day it arrived here. It has yet to cease its captivation over me. My only two complaints - Well, not complaints, but just a couple of the little things that I've noticed, thought they hardly made an effect - were:

1. You would often accidentally leave little spaces between parts of characters when rotating and moving a body part. You always seemed to fix it within a millisecond, but I had just noticed it, and thought I'd recommend working a bit on that.

2. Some more detail as to the massive, wondrous battle described would have been really, really cool. Again, like the first critique, I don't mean to say that the animation isn't a masterful work of art, but everyone can improve.

I hope this review doesn't prove pointless, as I feel odd critiquing an animator highly superior to me, but I'll publish it, regardless.

I really do LOVE your work, including every other James Lee post on Newgrounds. Oh, and to add, you and your wife are a fantastic duo, as I love your personified characters and her always fitting music.

[The Newgrounds War]

It wasn't the worst I've seen today.

The first half was far too slow, it also lacked smooth transitioning. The second half was certainly better than the first, though it could have elongated. It seems that you didn't have the patience necessary to make the video you had originally planned on. My initial reaction to reading the title was a massive, chaotic battle; almost like 'The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny,' if you were around for it.
All in all, the main thing I'd like you to keep in mind is that it's far better to spend three months on a good animation than a few days on one you aren't quite happy with. If you get restless and decide you want to stop, you may do so, but save the animation and leave it. Eventually, you may find the inspiration to return to it. Detail is extremely important for an appealing animation, and patience is crucial to achieve it. I hope to see your later improvements, as this seems to be one of your earliest projects. Good luck to you!
