ChandlerThompson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sod Houses]

So underrated.

This truly deserves a higher score, I found it to be highly entertaining. The narrator did sound like Meowth from the Pokemon television series, it gave me a chuckle. The animation was very good, and the subtitles benefitted the flash since I didn't always understand the narrator, but I thought the voice talents were still impressive. This flash needs more attention, it is so good.

The thing is, I was entertained by this flash and I actually learned some things. This is probably the first time something on this website has taught me something of educational value, haha. I really did like this flash, and the dancing dog at the end was pretty hysterical. I hope to see other work from you that is as good as this, keep it up!

[Lotions and Baskets]

Great animation with a great song.

This went beyond expectations, truly impressive for your first actual attempt at flash animation. The song really added to the overall humor, and the animation accompanying it was excellent. I was also impressed at how skilled you were with the lip sync. It took me a while to laugh, but once the part with the poodle began I started cracking up, great job on this.

The lyrics to the song were well represented by the character's actions, it felt like I was watching an actual music video to a song. You are an up and coming artist I will have to keep my eye on if your future work is this good. Congratulations on your daily trophy too, that's a difficult feat to accomplish for your first flash. Anyway, keep up the great work!

[FRED - Animated Series]

A pretty clever take on an unfunny phenomenon.

I am not a big Fred fan, so beliee me when I say I was rejoiced to see this flash. The animation was good, you captured the essence of Fred very well. The animation was very smooth and the lip sync was up to par. It's just nice to see that other people share the same opinion on Fred that I do, this flash was hilarious. It's great that it is so short, but it packs so many laughs.

The only problem I had with the flash is that I thought the ending was pretty predictable. Most of this site dislikes Fred, so I could tell where the flash was going after I read the title. Besides that, I thought this flash was cleverly executed. Good job all around, I can't wait to see Lucas' reaction to this. Anyway, keep up the great work!

thanks man, glad you enjoyed!

[Birthday 18]

A great music video.

I am impressed by your skill at animating, and it's interesting how you are also talented musically. I liked the part where you inserted your face over Michael Scott when you said you'd have an office job. The ending when you were rambling on about buying alcohol was also clever. Too bad about the audio portal though, it would definately help this flash gain popularity.

The voice you used at the beginning when you were talking out of the side of you mouth cracked me up. I hope you can get a nifty little award for this flash, that would be a good birthday present, right? Overall, it was an amusing music video that was packed with laughs. Hope you have a swell birthday Yotam, and keep up the excellent work!

Thanks

[Muffin Mix]

Highly amusing.

My eyes were glued to the screen the whole time, this was hilarious. I was impressed by your animating abilities and I thought the storyline of the flash was great. I like how the music got scarier as time progressed in the oven, it helped establish a frightening mood to the flash. The muffins also had characteristics and personalities which I thought was so funny, this was a great flash.

The only problem I had was that the vocies got annoying. The microphone made the voices sound fuzzy. At times the voices were loud and other times they were soft, but it made it difficult at times to understand what they were saying. Granted, that's why I used the subtitles, but the sound still lowered the entertainment value of the flash. Aside from that, I thought this was very enjoyable. Keep up the great work!

[Shorts Reel]

Very well done.

I am highly impressed if this is your first animation. I liked the scenes where you had the cursor drag the stick figure around, it was cool to see the view change perspective. The animation was good in about all of the parts, and yo chose a good song to use as well. This is a good way to get your name out on the site as an up and coming animator, I liked this.

The only problem I had is that some of the scenes, preferably the stick killing ones, got highly repetitve. Stick flashes are a dime a dozen on this site, but I thought some, not all, of yours showed some creativity. Aside from that, Iw as entertained from beginning to end with this flash. I'll be on the lookout for other work from you, keep it up!

[Pokemon Cheater]

Not that bad.

I got a couple laughs from this, mainly because it did look like the actual screen from Pokemon. It's always nice to hear the music from the Pokemon games too, it brings back so many memories. There are definately some things that need to be improved from this flash, but it definately was a good start for these parody flashes.

It seemed as if there was some sort of tween problem because whenever the arrow moved, the whole screen moved. The sound quality was pretty bad too. I also was confused because even though Cyndaquil used kill, Pidgey only fainted. Oh well,maybe I'm overanylzing this. Anyway, it was a decent flash. Keep up the good work!

[Resident Evil 2 (EXAMPLE)]

A good start.

You definately show skill when animating your characters, but this demo really didn't show me much else. The music was good, but Leon's body looked like it made some weird motions and gestures. Some of it looked like motion tweening too, but at loeast you didn't use a lot of them. This was decently made at most.

I did like the flash, but there are a few things to improve on. I understand it was a basic demo, but it could use a storyline or other characters to keep the viewer motivated and attentive to the flash. Besides that, I liked this flash and I think you can definately improve from this. Keep up the great work!

[Nininho - Valentine's Day]

A nice little story.

I thought the animation was impressive in several places, but it confused me that you chose to use basic stick figures when obviously show great skill in drawing. The song was good, I personally love Aerosmith, so you get bonus points for including that. This had its highs and lows, but it was pretty impressive.

The ending gave me a laugh but it did make me puzzled. I thought the story behind it was clever. It definately did put me in the mood for Valentine's Day, but it would have been more effective if it was that holiday where I live. Anyway, this was a cute flash, keep up the good work!

[Insanity]

Could use some work.

The voices you used for the flash were pretty funny, but the sounds were painful to hear, try changing the resolution on the sounds. The animation was decent in some parts, but overall it could use some improvement. I didn't really find a concept within the flash, so it maybe should be made clearer.

I can tell this flash makes room for improvemt because the aniamtion improved as the flash continued. I guess the insanity contained in the flash was worth a few laughs, but overall it needs some renovations here and there. I'll be on the lookout for your other flashes, keep up the good work!
