Galneda's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ellie's lip sync test]

At the two second mark, where she lifts her head to the highest point. "You know what they always *SAY*"

"Say" is making an o mouth shape. You've already been using this open-mouth smiley face, and that was the time to make the biggest open-mouth smiley face. Not an "o" for "ooh's" "oh's" and "you's"

E-Nat responds:

I'm still practicing to make it better, thanks for your feedback 💖

[Animator for hire let:s work]

It's an ambitious camera movement, but it's a little too jerky. It moves at such a speed that it's difficult to track, and it's over before your brain registers what it's looking at and what it just did.

The profile cropping doesn't lend it any favors either since the creature is moving from side to side. If it were in landscape composition, it would have more room to move from screen-right to screen-left which would help the movement read better.

There's no wind-up. Not even for the wave. It's very abrupt "HELLO-HERE-I-GO-SIKYUHHH-LANDED-IT!!!!!" and it's over.

It's just long enough to hint at the talent within you, but it doesn't showcase it very well. If you're putting your hat in the ring, take a note from the demo reels of others. It ain't just one sequence, it's a broad range of samples to their capabilities. I would focus your energy on exploring your range, and after you've done that, tidy up this shot, and throw it all together in a demo reel that's no longer than 60 seconds.

You got this!

belzehbub responds:

Thanks, I'll study vigorously and especially work on pacing my sequences.

[The Magician's Brick]

Dude, you've absolutely nailed that eras style of animation. This is incredible work, sound design, acting, and detail.

[Starscream TRIED asking CHATGPT to OVERTHROW MEGATRON (GONE WRONG)]

This was really fun to voice for! First time I ever felt like I nailed that G1 Starscream. Keep up the great work!

Also it's spelled Galneda, not Galenda. Lots of people misspell it with the "e" between the L and the N. I don't know why.

PewPowPunch responds:

Haha oops. Thanks for the great review and providing the voice man! Appreciated!

[Oops!]

That's pretty cool, you're kinda doin' an ENA thing, but with your own spin. I really dig it and I'd love to see what you do with a more complete concept.

Hit me up if you ever need a voice in your thing! I'd love to help.

[Little Fish Swimmin' In the Sea]

Not a bad animation practice at all! This kind of skillset would translate well into environmental effect animation, like leaves falling from a tree, snow flurrying in the wind, or other organic motions to help fill out a scene. Like trash being scattered down an alleyway, bugs swarming around a bog, or the visible gust waves across pastures of long and natural fields of grass.

[El Dorado Redialed: Scene 112b]

"WHICH...would youuuu....p r e f e r r r" Tzekel Khan softly ejaculated.

By the way, this came out great! Hit me up if you ever need another voice for something you're doing!

xi-eonling responds:
