HappyWhaleStudios's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[FrogMan and Pico]

I've been on Newgrounds since '09 and even since then I've seen the transformation this video talks about. It's ridiculously impressive how much you were able to do with this, and that the animation stayed consistent throughout. Really hit home for me because NG is kind of like a chunk of my childhood, and it's weird seeing how things have changed for better and for worse. I really enjoyed this, the animation wasn't very polished but you still were able to convey a great story that covered so much. Awesome job, I don't have the motivation to keep a project this huge going for as long as you worked on this, kudos to you, man

artistunknown responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it and were able to relate with it. Yeah, the animation was pretty unpolished, especially in the beginning since that was done in 2013, but I think I've improved quite a bit throughout the making of this.

I'm glad people are getting the point I wanted to make with this and are enjoying it. Really makes all the time and effort worth it.

Thanks for the review! ;3

[practice animations]

The FBF that you're doing is really nice, but I noticed that the first 7 seconds or so are the same as your previous submission. Just as some friendly advice, don't use multiple submissions as ways for people to see your progress, because people want to see and vote on submissions like they are final projects. The work that you've done is really nice, I'd just say to put it all together before you submit again, and add sounds and backgrounds.

[Wake: Part 1 of 3]

What you have here is really nice, great effects and nice modeling, but it's so short that it doesn't seem like it needs to be split into 3 parts, the fact that it is so short really leaves me wanting more, but not in the good way, in my opinion you should just submit all 3 at once in one file

Ikonyami responds:

I actually mostly agree with what you said. However, I didn't plan to have two other connecting parts at first (just finished the second part today) and this was going to be just a small project animation to learn some hard surface modeling, but in the end made it into a larger story. Was only going to post what is now "part 2" but felt like posting the first one prior to that would make it more cohesive. But thanks for your input, and make sure to watch part 2 when posted!

[Guard Duty - Episode 1]

Entertaining, animation could be better. The text at the beginning moves very slowly, but it gets better by the end. Hopefully you'll be able to improve that for future episodes

ZiggytheNinja responds:

Thanks!
I was afraid no one would be able to keep up with the dialogue if it moved to quickly, so that's why it crawled a little.

[Mr. Moose: Meet Moosecow]

Passable, but make sure next time that you set your audio to stream instead of event, otherwise the audio gets entirely off sync with the lips, like it did here. But other than that, like I said, it was passable
