SurrealStage's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Clayground - Stupid Cupid]

Very different from your other shorts.

I really enjoyed watching this, it shows your improvement not only as an animator but as a filmmaker and creative person in general. I felt that this particular video was a lot more cinematic than your previous movies, especially with the addition of music throughout. Overall, a job well-done!

BlakTornado responds:

Thanks man :)

I hope to try and make them all a little more cinematic. Obviously not over-kill but just a little. The style seems to work.

And I also thing there was a lot more humor in this one too... but considering this is my highest rated submission, I think I've done something right.

[Clayground - Day of Time]

Some of the best claymation on NG!

This animation was of a very high standard of quality, and the story was quite interesting. Your artistic ability with both photography and editing is something indeed!

BlakTornado responds:

Thanks man :)

["The Experiment"]

Keeps me laughing.

You do such an amazing performance with facial expressions, I could not help but burst out in laughter each time you stretched that mad grin. Great job, sir!

Chrispy responds:

Why thank you very much!

[Clayground - Robot]

Loved it!

You did a very good job on this! I particularly enjoyed watching the interaction between characters, performed lively and well-written. The animation was spectacular, I'd expect nothing less from you. Great job overall, and I love the new intro!

BlakTornado responds:

Thanks :D

P.S. You're the first one that I know of to notice the new intro! haha.

[Salad Fingers Episode 8]

Your best animation.

This is truly your most astounding piece of work so far. Not only was the superb animation and use of different angles effective, but this seemed to give an entirely new layer to the character of Salad Fingers. Your writing, acting, and skillful character animation perfects this into being my one of favorite pieces of moving art.

[Clayground - Ad Absurdity]

Your best one yet!

This is probably your most well-done movie yet; I especially loved the writing and the animation was superb, as always. You're getting better with every Clayground, and I'm highly anticipating your next short. Great work!

[Clayground - Mr.Patterson]

Short, sweet, and on Mr. Patterson's lawn!

I really enjoyed this! Even though it was short, the movie still preserved its hilarity. Keep up the good work!

[Clayground - TDIC Part 2]

Flash doesn't do it justice.

It's a pity that Flash SWF has such a crappy export for video...oh well, it's not your fault. The visual hilarity compensates for it, and the dialogue is still great!

BlakTornado responds:

Thanks :)

Yeah, I'm using Flash MX 2004 still. The video options in that sucked badly. They got better in Flash 8 thanks to Adobe's contribution but Flash MX wasn't that good for videos...

But thanks for your review :)

[Stoner Bob: T.V.]

Nice style!

Great job on this one! I really like the way this Stoner Bob was set up, with the television as the entire screen. However, I kinda wish there was still the whole druggie theme in it, but it still gets the job done. Overall, quality work!
