[Stupid John - how to become a hero -]

I give you 4 stars for making me laugh at the end! XD

A decently fluent animation, but I am a bit uncomfortable with the lack of audio (for a moment I thought my speakers were muted).

Good job!

10VAD responds:

Thanks a lot for watching the video for your rating and your comment which will help me to improve.
Yes i agree about the sound, next episode i'll add some environment noises ;)

Once again thanks for your time ! ;)

[A Stop Motion Short Film]

Wow... The animation is too fluid in this one, it really seems that the characters are alive. It must have taken you a long time to make this work of art.

It's a shame that I can only give you 5 stars. You did a great job! Sorry for my bad English.

W-Halford responds:

Thank you :) That's very kind of you to say.

[Earth Prep: A Lamp]

I felt sorry for the poor alien...

The animation was quite good and I liked the design of the characters.
I got a bit of a laugh at the end.

Good work.

Animation-S responds:

yay! I like making people smile or laugh. hehe :)

[Madness Delerium]

First of all, I can't believe you when you say this is your first animation. I have seen several animations from beginners in MC-style, and the truth is that yours is considerably more fluid compared to others... When I say this, I am saying it in a good way; In a few words, you did the animation really well :)

I put you 3 stars because at the beginning you can see the sprites background, and that can be a bit confusing. Also, be careful with this because they can believe you actually stole it; believe it or not I have seen some cases.

I also did not understand what was going on XD
What was the Smith doing at the beginning? Does the protagonist (the Grunt) have mental powers? I swear that it looks like he's controlling the Smith.

The animation is a little stuck, although I don't know if this is due to my Web Browser or something else.

In conclusion, very well done for being your first animation. I feel that with much practice and effort you will become a very good animator.

Sorry for my bad English.

SonSpook responds:

Yeah, it's true. This isn't my first animation. I started about a year ago on Scratch, a web sight where you can program your own games and animations. I started there, but I lost interest as soon as I found interest in stick figure battle animations.

I then transferred to Pivot animator, where I made a few crappy stick figure fights. Afterwards, I found a better stick figure animating program called Macromedia Flash, the one I used to make this animation. I made my first stick battle and continued on with my second. At this point, I had never shared my flash or pivot animations, as they were way too bad.

But one day, my brother (sadly, doesn't have a newgrounds account) was talking with one of his friends form scratch (my brother is a really popular scratcher) and saw he was into Madness.

My brother eventually told me about Madness, and watched all 10 episodes in one night. A few weeks later, my brother's scratch friend made a madness animation himself and gave my brother the fluidium sprite sheets (my bro also had flash).

I eventually got a hold of the sprites too, and made my first madness fan animation. I hadn't named it yet, and I didn't finish it either. I eventually got bored of the concept and moved on to make Madness Delirium. So yes, I have had past animating experience. This is just the first one I have made public.

And thank's so much for the advice, and I will take it to heart while making my next animation C:

[TheBruvs - Rude Word]

I loved the animation style; it reminded me a show that was broadcast by Adult Swim, but I can't remember the name.

I laughted at the irony of the situation.

Great job!

TheBruvs responds:

Thank you very much. You are probably thinking of Monkey Dust. Our animation director Eoin Clarke was on that show. Our style is somewhat governed by our budget - or lack thereof. Thank you for your comments. Much appreciated.

[Dead Thing]

I don't know what I just saw, but I liked it.

The animation is very well done, and I like the Lovecraftian theme.

I was going to give you 4 stars, but after reading the description, I decided to give you 5; I hope that helps :)

Sorrry for the bad English.

KloudKat responds:

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it. I'm already working on trying to make my future cartoons even better!

[Patapons Come Home!]

The images take a long time to change, the design in general is bad and the "story" has absolutely no sense.

LucianToons responds:

Hey i'm Sorry but I will make a 2nd One and See if its Good or Not.

[Olive Oil Fills the River]

Despite how strange it is, I really enjoyed this short film; maybe it has to do with the fact that Iike this kind of bizarre material.

I loved the art design in general and the sensation of nervousness that this provoked me was satisfactory :)

Also, the white little dude design was kinda cute.

Really good experimental animation.
(Sorry for the bad english)

TheMarooned responds:

Ah thanks so much dude! I was in a really shitty place when I made this and Its really great to see someone who enjoys it :))

[Your Own Worst Enemy]

If I could give you more than 5 stars, I would do it...

I can feel very identified with this situation; being me a person who has tried to do many things, from writing horror stories to creating animations and other kind of stuff, feeling like a total failure even though people liked my content. I saw the work of others and I felt that mine was not worth it.

This happens to me even today with the drawings that I upload to Deviantart and this site... It's pretty depressing.

I thank you very much for this video, It has helped me a little.

I just need to say, that the animation is very cute.

Sorry for the bad english...

olbengc responds:

hahaha dont worry, your comment feels more than 5 stars :p

If the video helped you even a little bit in making you feel better about yourself, that's good enough for me.

Just try to use your disliking of your art, as fuel to get better (i know that's easier said than done, but i bet right now you are better than you were a year ago, so you just gotta be patient and you'll get to where you want to be)

Glad you liked the animation too :)

[First man on the moon]

I just love claymation!
It's an animation of only 15 seconds (or 14?), but it made me laugh a lot.
This reminded me a lot of Robot chicken.

Really good job! :D
Sorry for the bad english.

Twin-Tales responds:

Thanks! :)
