Brick-Productions's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[hatman co pilot]

I thought this was really good.
The audio quality was a bit out and the levels need a bit of work with vocals and sfx.
I like the cute art style and thought the story was kinda funny.
I thought the animations were simple but i thought it matched the tone of the short well.
Overall i enjoyed this!!

I think your art is great!

Great work!

Eggabeg responds:

Daw thanks xD this is old as heck now!

[Wandering season process, not fun content]

Great work.
Your progress shots were good and jazza will be able to see you did the work.
If i were to guess a topic i would say winter running through spring?
you draw better than me already !

keep it up!!!

panchula responds:

Oh my god, thank you! This actually means a lot! and the drawing better than you thing: art is a subjective thing.

[Solace Story Board]

Great stuff, i see what you mean by ambitious!
I think your art is amazing, your direction is amazing, even the story boards were put together well for this short. The music set the tone well and it felt like reading a comic. No dialogue or story was needed for this short, the art moved the story forward that well.

My only one criticism is that i think your writing/story idea doesn't do your art justice. I say this in the sense that i feel like every other manga i watch has this scene. It's to the point i feel like the mold needs to be broken by great artists like yourself.

having said that i think your project twill be amazing even if it only is half as good as the story boarding.
Great Job!!

Eggabeg responds:

Thank you!

I know what you mean, this scene is very typically cliche in its writing and setting, it's kind of a homage to my own little ideas of a particular scene that would be far more grand by the time the story got to that point! I'm glad you mention it not needing dialogue, I may have a running narrative in the final if I find someone with a good voice for it... I do happen to know a few so lets hope! It would be the voice of a past mentor reassuring the heroine of her past endurances and why she must continue to endure, the difference between standing and getting up. Similar to the whole Batman 'why do we fall?' little speech!

[Green Drinks on St. Patrick's Day!]

This was fantastic!
Great work.
Loved the humour!
The highlight for me was the art i like the style very much!!
Great short!

Familypants responds:

thanks!

[Glove]

Another great short.

I think there were issues with the sound quality.
The mix needs to be worked on, atm it is muddy, everything mashing together nothing in it's own space. The music/sfx themselves were well timed and appropriate just levels were poor.

With out knowing where the actor/writer comes from it sounds like English is not their first language. It removes me from the story as things sound a little clumsy.
Writing and acting in your native tongue with the use subtitles will leave you with a more immersive/ emotionally connective short.

If the artist teamed up with a more refined writer and good audio team some really brilliant work could be produced.

The art was fantastic again such amazing vision i really enjoyed it. I thought the animations were a little rough but i appreciate the style and enjoyed it thoroughly.
I really think there is a lot of potential in the style and can't wait to see it develop!

Detejubaraaleks responds:

I agree with you at almost every point! :)
Maybe i should do the next one in swedish.
Thanks alot for watching! Really appreciate your critisism!

[Speed Sculpting "Colossus"]

You are really amazing at sculpting!
Have you thought about trying an animal maybe an x-man , Beast/Sabertooth type thing or even a Pokemon
Can't wait to see what ever you choose!

Black-Crystal responds:

Beast and Sabertooth is hard to sculpt because of their fur and hair. But I want to try either of them and see if i can portray it well :)
Pokemon is a interesting choice too, thanks!

[Jiggin' Demon]

I liked the drawing style.
I thought it was perhaps a bit too simplified.
Wasn't feeling the audio recording style, but i'm not a rock fan really.
I liked the hazy/soft feel of the clip.
Overall nice work!

SeanSullivan responds:

Thanks. In my opinion, I think I'm better with real pen and ink. My wacom never could match the preciousness I can get with real materials. Also, I was going for a punk vibe with the song. I really like punk. Glad you enjoyed it though.

[HOW'S IT GOING BROS]

I thought this was funny.
Nice and polished!
Great stuff!

GeorgeDraws responds:

Thank you!
