GnomeZome's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Meet Beeb]

Hmmm, simple but it does convey alot about the character very quickly.
I think the motion you captured with here had certain puppet vibes, so it was cool you where able to convey that so simply, and the emotions are very and relatable.
Thank you for making this.

[Wario's Day Off]

It's nice to see Warrior get some honest love.
That is an incredible cover of March of the Swivelheads, which took me a second, and then...."Bueller?.......Bueller!"
Over all incredible work, and there is some much truly solid physical humor it's hard to pick a favorite scene, but my favorite is probably the homage to Ferris Bueller walking back to the girls sunbathing to introduce them self with warrior taking a moment to help peach.
Thank you for making this.

[Berry's Voyage]

You really bury the lead in this, I would say, and not just because that is an accurate triple entente.
But honestly l like how slow and paced this is, as it does help build a sense of journey and struggle for the audience.
Also, you communicate a lot with just simple emotion, demonstrated with show not tell and nice beep and boops.
Great work over all, and I hope to see more of your work.
Thank you for making this.

[Androids Knitting]

This is oddly cute.
When they where attempting to create the industrial sewing machine, there where several attempts to construct mechanisms similar to hands to make the process work, and when the actual basis of mechanism that many machines still use to sew was invented, many people refused to believe it functioned.
I also so like the idea of a newly corporealized AI doing knitting to practice fine motor skills.
It's fittingly human.
Thank you for making this.

Ajokolo responds:

Appreciate it. Nice interpretation too!

[Pa-Py-Po]

Nice to see a new old post from you.
You definitely can still make incredibly silly, high energy, and fun dance routines.
Also your floofy characters always rock excellent luff.
Thank you for making this.

[The SpellTag]

hmmmmmm good ol' spook-e-mon.
I think you really caught the weird tone of the occasional occult occurrence that pops up in nearly every pokemon game as a speed bump of emotion.
It is clever to use the already uncanny valley aspects of the redesign while it's a meme to make it more unsettling, along with some fun sound design choices, and i like the fact you made her kind of a little goblin.
Thank you for making this.

[- 蟷ｽ髴 | Seizure warning]

"Trapdoor spider"? Interesting.
So first and foremost I liked it; I did find it a little chaotic, but it think it is wise to label it as experimental with the tone and abstraction you went with.
I think it's a a solid piece of abstract art, at s it seems ever so coyly hint at meaning in it's chaos, and it like the fact the music and some of the effects simultaneous had a buggy/glitchy vibes.
I will say you need to slap a seizure warning on this ASAP because the Porygon episode that almost killed pokemon in the 90s had a slower color change cycle than this, so there is a present threat to you viewership in that.
Also, for music resources check out this great page in the NG wiki about stuff available here:

But over all it's an nice frantic, and fun, loop.
Thank you for making this.

Nebulilac responds:

Thankyou very much!! I will definetely slap a seizure warning on there, i appreciate you letting me know.
I was trying very hard to match the tone of the song, so im glad it seemed to turn out that way :] Your critique is very helpful!! And ill take a look at that link, thankyou!

[Kefla intro]

Hmm pretty solid.
You gotta lot of attitude and personality across in a fairly quick punch, and over all it's a solid piece of work.
Some notes, maybe if possible have the pov start in her shadow as in could convey further malice/intensity to have her profile palatially in shadow, if that is the tone you are going for.
Also, I like what you where able to do with her transition in emotional tone, from fright to flirt but I think a few in between frames of the emotions transitioning, or just momentary reflection before flirt could add a lot of depth.
You certainly do capture a a transition of fierce, curious, and flirt, but maybe just a little more.
Thank you for making this.

ChuchoZepa responds:

Thank you very much!! for your opinions, I will take into account those transitions you speak of

[The triple demon dance]

hmmmm, an interesting playful concept.
I think the way you choose to move through the different choices of out fit was alluring and interesting choice visually, especially the selective x ray moments.
I have seen some other similar pieces with Cerberus that had three distinct facial expressions, which can add a little more variety to a loop like this, but seeing how detailed you make things that might add more time then is worth it for you.
Along those lines, if you could also have the xray move through the figures at different times to provide more visual variation, but I like your choice to keep them so in sync as it is the nature of the characters.
Thank you for making this.

[pon3mx animation]

Hola amigo, no hablo mucho español, pero quería decirte que me gusta tu trabajo. Diré más en inglés, pero gracias por hacer esto.

Nice work, i think you show a lot of skill and commitment to your style while working in a very limited tool set, and I hope you have the opportunity to keep pushing your skills.
I look forward to checking our more of your work, as you seem to have a good sense of humor, and sense for simple but effective animation.
Thank you for making this.

PON3mx responds:

dude
you made me happy haha
The truth is if I am very limited in terms of animation tools, all my animations are made in 3ds and also most of my drawings I digitize there because I have nowhere else to do it. thanks for the support!!!! I appreciate it
