Greg-Anims's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kevin's Eighth April]

cute

its really cute, the music fits perfectly and it made me smile so it gets a 10.

Even things that some people would say are wrong with the movie like the animation, or background resizing.. just add to its charm.. if it looked perfect it would look too proffessional, and that would take away some of its character.

I know, Music is awesome, I made this with inspiration of this music

[Gamer Kids: TimeSplitters]

not funny

Yet another shitty obvservational videogame "comedy" ..
no doubt every 10year old PS2 fanboy has given this a 5

Almost cringe worthy movie here you got Kenkaku.. "oh yeah, remember erm timeplsitters.. came out on every platform! and you cant sniper anyone cause they run fast.. umm" (who wrote this script! Its fucking awful. EVEN IF you wanted to get quick popularity from videogame parody, you couldve made a few better obvservations like Egos stuff, its timesplitters for christ sake! The script should practically write itself!)

1 almost..note.. ALMOST funny moment.. "labotomy" but thats all youve got.

But thanks for adding another shit videogame parody onto Newgrounds, and adding to the horde desperate for popularity, slowly turning this place into Videogame grounds.

That 'RTIL PLEASE SAVE US' line is freakin' solid gold.

[|~Enemy In The Snow~|]

great movie

fantastic for a flash short, very "anime" esque. erm...

why/how did you export the film as a movie, only to put it back into flash? also, how did you export as a movie and keep the quality so high..?

I love all your works and am watching you on devart too btw,

SpikeVallentine responds:

i exported it as an avi.
if i kept it a raw flash file it would have been too big.

oh wow

SWiTCH! your alive! haha

AMAZING FILM. loved it. excellent style and storytelling. Its so clean. Its the sort of thing i expect a proffessional studio to create, and its awesome that you did the music yourself too, it syncs nicely.

I like the blank expressions, but in your next movie you should emulate more experssions cause people like that and it adds character :p

Amazing movie. 5. +fav.

SWiTCH responds:

Hey greg!
Thanks for commenting.
And yeah, I'll take your advice. :)

[Against the Colossus]

Amazing movie

The best stickfigure film ive seen in a while, really well animated, nice atmospheric backgrounds and a descent concept. The scene where the stickfigure crashes through the church roof, and the introduction to the movie, were arguably the best in my eyes, nice lighting in there too.

I think the biggest problem with the movie is you. Dont kid yourself, it is CLEARLY influenced by OSCAR, as well as shadow of the colossus, and to blatantly say it isnt in your description is plain unfair. Your basically using a style which he created, (and many people have ripped off), but youre not saying "inspired by oscars castle series". Why have you given credit to SOTC and not OSCAR? Maybe you think it looks like youve coppied him, but all artists copy other artists, its a fact and its a source of inspiration, and not giving credit is just a faggot thing to do.

Also, the solem and depressing music at the end really doesnt fit with the movie, because it was an action movie where the big guy got shot in the head a lot by the other stickfigure...there was no character behind it, and so using the music- in order to gain sympathy for the big guy- is a bad move. Youd have been better off with some loud hardcore music or something with a kick to go out on.

Anyway, brilliant movie, but you need to give credit to oscar and youd do well to change the end music :]

Swished responds:

Hey, thanks for the review, but none of this is inspired by Oscar or his Castle series. I've been animating since 2002 now, and i always used this style. Why would i copy things from oscar? He is not a source of inspiration for me. This movie was inspired by the game: Shadow of the Colossus. =)
Maybe the backgrounds in this movie make it look similiar, but that doesn't mean it's inspired by Oscar's Castle series.
