JakitSol's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bonfie MeMe dance]

imma give a 4 stars for how well this works as a "smartphone video" kind of style but with room for improvement to really give it more of that "yo dis man got sum skills!" kind of hype!

your camera angles are quite good for where you're aiming and the locations Bonfie is styling in. some smoother, slower camera shake could help make it look a bit more "professional than pedestrian" without taking away the idea that say another animatronic is filming her break it down and its not Foxy with his hook hand and slight need for repairs. Like, whoever is filming this has steadier hands than someone with one hand and a bent piece of metal, and you can interpret that from the energy in the shake.

Bonfie's dance has most of the movements but lacks a certain element to really sell that illusion of her dancin and looking hot at the same time. These different locations and camera angles do help me understand what you did to do what you did so far, but i cant tell if you are using any surface collisions or any sort of physics modifiers that help give her moves "bounce". i also cant tell what you are animating this in, my best guess is either Blender or SourceFilmMaker2 (got blindsided with THAT editor's existence, thats for sure!) so i cant really be more specific about any modifiers that allow jiggle physics or model collisions this dance could benefit from. It is definitely missing some Z-Axis, up-and-down bounce movement. beyond that, i couldnt tell what else could improve the appeal of Bonfie's dancing without the Z-axis bounciness.

Thats all i got for this. Keep up the fantastic work!

I don't recall seeing Critic having a seizure while doing his impression of "The Mask".

heheh. Meanwhile Abe Simpson is looking at his drivers license to figure out if thats the same cloud from that day he was featured in the paper for yelling at it.

Im dumb, is ok.

[FulpWare]

Ahh i remember the days i would just throw friggin haymakers at anyone in the living room with reckless abandon, like Nintendo saw coming from a mile away! and as for the ending, i now have a new retro gaming project to mull over!

This was enjoyable, not too extreme and a damn fine showcase of not only awesome and historic cartoons and games of the past, but also an incredibly well done mixing of two big Ns from two different sides of the world! A Newgrounds themed WarioWare title? QUICK! Send this dumptruck of cash to the boys at the R&D sublevel, we got memes to forge like Thor making Stormbreaker!

[Nori and Zin - Breakfast (PILOT)]

(I know i had a minor role in this, witnessed a lot of the production process and am also a good friend of yours, but imma try to be as balanced as i can.)
For your first cartoon over 5 minutes long with multiple VAs, original musics by ShadyVox (who worked with Piemations a number of times), and an art style sitting somewhere between adorable and "Wow does Zin's ass look great today!", I firmly believe you did a fantastic job making this.
2020 and the effects of the pandemic during that year really sucked, and thats something just about anyone can agree with. I'm sure many other creators experienced problems like you did during the time spent making this cartoon. It's not a point meant to put you down, its more meant to be a relatable understanding of circumstances.
I definitely see an improvement of skill as the video progresses, some body movements are not as clean in the first 30 seconds as they are after 3:30. I view this as a good quality, not as a flaw. All kinds of things happen in the span of two years, including improvement.
One thing i will point out that i see flaws with is the comedy. There were a number of times i laughed and adorb-gushed, like at the unified "Awwwww" of disappointment. But there is plenty of room for improvement with funny situations which makes me want to see more of what you could be capable of!
Again, its your first pilot. Yeah its not perfect, but nothing truly is. Good visuals, voices, music, and easy intro plot. The humor dial could be turned up more, but its definitely there! So for all that, I rate it 4.5/5 stars!

[Zinterview - Nori and Zin (short)]

I am so proud of you for sharing this! Keep being awesome!

[GENTLES]

---WATCH BEFORE YOU READ! I BE SPOILING STUFFS!---
I couldn't stop smiling after Gentles started doing his thing.
The beginning was what you would expect until you got hit with the unexpected. A vague description can lead to any number of things happening within the events. This was taken in the least predicted direction which makes it one of the best ways you could have taken it. Innuendo is a useful thing if not abused. By taking the plot from "Talking Dog wants dog porn" to "Dog finds purpose and is a guest on Jimmy Fallon's talk show" is something i found to be unpredictable halfway through. Upon realizing he can spit hot lyrical fire, i figured you would bring things around full circle.
Nostalgic Joke, Naughty Dog, Finding Purpose, Jimmy Fallon.
What more could you ask for in a short cartoon?
BTW i didnt go 5 stars because ive been a fan of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson until he stopped doing it, so most other late night talk shows just don't do it for me. But thats more of a personal opinion than legit critique, yet you get a good score from me so that's great!

[Teaser: The Last of the Dashkin 2]
