Brick-Productions's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Drink that White]

I always enjoy spoilers in the review section, great stuff.

Interesting animation.
I enjoyed the simple artwork and colour selections.
Over dramatised for what it was. The animation timing was pretty off.

The story didn't do anything for me, I found it kinda pointless.
Nice music selection without it, the short would've been very dull.
Overall interesting toon. nice work.

[Black Story, First episode]

Amazing!
Beautifully drawn.
The style and colours were simple yet powerful.
This is a great animation.

[Love on the Streets]

I have no idea what this is.
It's like a terrible comedy but under drama.

The story was terrible.
The art was good. the shot selections were passable.
The audio needs to be cleaned up.
The acting was not very good.
Good effort but overall I didn't enjoy this.

[Johnny Carbon - Indecency]

The animation was really good.
I didn't enjoy the raps.
The clunky flow stood out to me as a long time rap fan.
People who don't listen to rap will probably enjoy it.

The story of the track was good.
I did like the beat.
I thought the colour selection was nice.
The animation style was simple but effective.

Looks like a lot of work went into it.
Overall a good, polished short. Great stuff!

JohnnyCarbon responds:

Thanks man, appreciate the feedback!

[Stan's Hands]

Nice toon.
I liked the art style.
Interesting narrative, I thought it was pretty funny.
It was well acted and the audio was good quality.
Nice toon!

Domonization responds:

Thanks.

[420 SUBSCRIBERS]

Great work.
I enjoyed the premise.
Tee art and colours were fantastic.
Great direction, simple, yet polished.
Great toon!

[the fly]

Great artwork.
The story was a bit immature and the music could have been a little more appropriate in the first half.
The colours were fantastic.
Overall a great short!

[The alien]

nice message, i enjoyed the animation and character style.
Great job!

Yassinius responds:

Thanks!

[ESCAPE FROM K]

3 stars for very funny subtitles!

[The Stress Animatic v2]

For what it is, it's okay.
I have trouble scoring progress vids with more than 2 stars.
It's more annoying if the actual project never is completed.
Make sue I get to see a finished version!

Fear is a part of art, but once you don't give a fuck you can embrace your vision.
No matter how good anything is, people are going to like it and hate it.
except game of thrones....every body loves it.

so at the end of the day all that matters is that you can learn and grow from it and enjoy the time working on it. I always say that the reward is the finished project, not the accolades.

Now to the story/ storyboards..

Very western, very middle class story.
I think anyone who is not that, will have trouble being engrossed, having said that if it's your story, tell it.
It might be hard to look at the situations of this as stressful if you have spent your childhood sleeping on the street and scrounging for food, battling a terminal illness, etc, etc.

I didn't see any clear resolution of dealing with the stress, more just tolerating it.
But also to reiterate my point from above, is liking a girl stressful? Is being a toddler drawing on walls and playing with a ball in a house stressful?

As far as the ending goes again I'm lost. ,unless you are trying to leave the audience feeling empty and confused.

I am unsure of how interested the audience will be in a story where the main character has no real challenges in life, yet is freaking out over his naggy wife calling and his boss telling him hes not working well. Maybe we wan't to see him man up, and get a handle on shit, instead of freak out.

I get the vibe you are going for. You have some shit inside that you need to get out, or at least want to take the viewer on an emotional journey. In my opinion , it is a little too grounded in the mundane. So it never really struck a chord with me.

I think you should check out (although you already probably have)

They are the style i think you are going for. Both do it very well and you never lose the point of the story. It might help you tighten up some of it.

Finally, don't take this as fact, i am one dooshebag, get a bunch of opinions and then follow your instinct. If this is the story you want to tell tell it.

Looking forward to seeing the final animation!

the fact i too feel my story isn't strong enough to convince the audience is totally true.I had to do something with the topics that could help anyone with social issues so i chose this.but anyhow i wanted to do something crazy really really crazy.But that's all past now i have lost all the passion and vigour .I cannot assure you whether i ll be successfully passing this year with a bachelors degree or will i able to complete my project .It is horribly distressing that at this point of time i am dealing with attention disorders.please bless me with luck i need it very much .
