RionHunter's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[PICO VS EVIL BOYFRIEND [FRIDAY NIGHT FUNKIN' JAM ENTRY]]

Yo damn this is so well choreographed with the music, fits the mood the music brings, and has some really impressive animation for something done in 10 days. Great work

[Don't Touch the Car (Lego Short Film) (2019)]

It was when they blinked I knew this one would be legit. Admittedly, I'm not really a fan of lego animations, and found that the actual animation part of it could do with a bit more work, but I really enjoyed the way Hank spoke. The structure of his dialogue was weirdly hypnotic, and reminded me of the short stories I've been listening to in the New Yorker fiction podcast. I know it's weird to bring that up here, but I wanted to use it to highlight the actual... poetic flow and pentameter to his dialogue and the way he speaks it. The rest of the plot was... abstract in its own weird way, also reminiscent of some actual high brow short stories, making you want to dissect the character of Hank and his flippant statements. The ending left a bit to be desired.

X-Sims responds:

Thank you for your opinion, Rion. I'm glad you liked the short and how weird and hypnotic you make it out to be. That was kinda what I was going for this whole time. Glad you like Hank's character as well. Although I'm limited to how I do my traditional style of lego animations, I worry more about the stories I want to show and tell, while I worry about improving on my techniques in animating legos later on. I'm sure some of my friends that do them do better jobs than me anyway. XD

I think I like your birthdays more than I like mine.

[Shadow Hunter Trailer]

The animation looks amazing, and I'm super keen, but the dialogue recording quality seems a little.. lackluster in comparison.

[Pebble]

Well animated, great story, but the sound effects were just too jarring. They're out of place and too comical. The music is perfect, the environmental sounds are great, but the walking and the sword swiping and the heads moving are just wrong.
