quimera-chan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lost Heart, Found Danger]

Good Noir, Bad Colors

Great voice acting, good plot, but the animation wasn´t the best piece here on newgrounds.
It is usual that noir movies and animations dance around with a palette of blacks, and sometimes reds due to recent influences like sin city (even though on comic books thats a much older tendency).
Anywho, i didn´t appreciate the color balance, it just seemed to have been done randomly and without care. The characters outlines also seemed too ruff for this type of story, but i really liked the casual blurs that accentuated proximity or distance. Really well done.
Ah, also, Gigi's voice seemed really adquit to the part, but sounded really low...i don´t know if it was on purpose.
And a big clap to whoever took care of the typography. Nice choice ;3

I would love to see something of the gender again, but a little more detailed. Good work :D

Thanks for your critique! I always like improving where I can. The only thing I wanted to point out is that the characters were all assigned colors for reasons. Vic was blue because he was the good guy and blue usually represents that. Gigi was red like the devil because of her dark side. Mackey was yellow because he was a coward, Tony Piper (the dealer) was brown because he was a brown noser. Donavan King was purple because that's the color of royalty, and all the Mugs were green with envy of the people who were in charge.

I normally do more detailed work, but TOFA is a timed thing and I essentially only had 2 weeks to animate 6 minutes of animation, but I'm hoping with my next entry to fix that, because I will have more time to do less work. And that clap would go to me lol, with the exception of half the script and the voice acting, that was all me. Again, thank you for your critique, I do read all of them and take to heart what is suggested so that I may better myself for the future.

Oooh, no food for you, big viking :D

Very good animation! The part i enjoyed more was when the character moved towards the tree, on a very far perspective, because you didn´t use black lines to define the character or background. It was much more clean and vibrant, with a great sense of color and ligh. Plus, the concept was hilarious. Maybe to maintain the humorous effect you should use lines with colors a little darker than the base, but still on the same pantone variation. Maybe that will work :B

Welcome to newgrounds and hey, add more promissing animations to your gallery ;3

I'll have to try this next time.

Thanks for the idea!
