RyanRDLPS's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Apogee of Boredom]

It's called Roto-Scope. Also known as, tracing.

Don't take the credit my friend, if anything you are an decent tracer. Those movements were all roto-scoped. Those who are confused, Google it. The rest it means nothing more than traced out the actual film, frame by frame. Now, I don't review very much at all. But, I'm sure this will get front page, and I'm not going to let you get away with saying you drew it. Ask any of us vets here of animation. Unless of course you will swear up and down you animated that from your head, in that clase close the porn, get out of your house and submit that to a studio! Your better than many of us, who've been at this for years!

iceAnimator responds:

Not 8 words into the description did I mention that this was, indeed, roto-scoped. And, yup, you guessed it, I traced the whole damn thing. I also directed/shot/edited and corriographed the entire video portion.
I'm not trying anything break-through here, I'm not even saying it makes any sence, there is plenty of stuff I could of done to make it more visually comprehendable, I just wanted to see if I had the endurance to pull this off. Plus I was bored with tweening and programing and I thought this would be nice practice for tackling real FBF animation. Like it or not, here it is.
Also, how do you think the animators on the Lord of the Rings got Gollum to look so life like in his movements? I'll give you a hint: it starts with "r" and ends with "oto-scoping".
Regardless, thank you for your time,

[Battle of the painters]

Good, Original, Good.

Something fresh, good job. Pretty job on the creativity. The pulling of the plug was cute, and the white color rising above all was great too. The sound was off a bit, and the graphics were a slop job. But where effort was needed you aspired, particurally on the paint splotches, and water motion bubbles. Keep on drawing!
You have a huge amount of creativity, next flash I want to see some more detail in the characters, and backgrounds.

The idea behind the characters were to be representatives of each color. Very basic designs, also for the bg its supposed to be an empty wall begging to be painted. nonetheless i will put effort were its needed, so thanks.
