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.

[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 :)

[Clayground - Claytime 2]

You've traveled a long road to come to this point.

I will be perfectly honest, I would have never expected this movie to be as great as it was. The humor was right on beat, and the story was nicely paced. I especially like the new way the creator was involved. You come a long way since the first Claytime movie, and it's a job well done. Happy First Anniversary to ClayGround!

BlakTornado responds:

Thanks dude :)

A toast to Clayground! ;) bwahaha...

[Every Day I love you less]

Rockin!

I loved this! It was nice how the animation was fast-paced along with the song. You're a very talented and diverse individual, doing stop-motion, music and 2D digital. I should check out this band, too.

BlakTornado responds:

Thanks :)

[Clayground - Valentine's]

Very nice!

This was a good start for the new year of Clayground! Although longer would have been better, this got the job done swell.

BlakTornado responds:

I agree that this was very short! However, my next one will be longer! :)

Thanks for your review :)

[Clayground - Time Travel]

Pretty sweet!

This was fun to watch! The editing and voices were superb, and the story managed to conclude well enough with the punchline. I really loved the timer at the bottom, that really added to the experience. I look forward to your Christmas claymation!

BlakTornado responds:

Thanks =]
