tommylm's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Artifacts]

With AI encroaching, perhaps changing forever what it means to create images and other art in this digital medium, this feels ever more relevant. As someone who played and experimented with Flash since age 11, who found refuge over and over in opening up a blank canvas, timeline set at 12 fps by default, who learned all its little quirks and glitches, heard those crappy stock sound fx a million times, and wrangled the program through its various permutations, time and again, to make it do what i wanted... as close as possible... this touched me. thanks for your thoughts on the program and the technology and media of art.

Emrox responds:

Glad you got something out of this! The AI-art thing was actually an intended subtext to this, but I think you're the first person to ever make a note of that!

Update: Hey, you're the art in the playground guy! I remember when that was nominated for Movie of the Year on here, forever ago...

[DBZ Mawi Style II]

[DBZ Mawi Style]

absolute classic

[One More Brawl Taunts]

PIED3 responds:

Thanks!

[From Player to Playa]

Haha

Great

[Stick Slayer vs Xiao Xiao]

Uh,,

To everyone bitching about this movie and saying that Xiao Xiao is "some of the best animation on this site" cannot honestly say they've ever done a day's worth of proper animating in their lives. Stick figures are among the easiest thing to animate EVER, excluding maybe tween queen stuff like Legendary frog. There's plenty of QUALITY animation mixed with QUALITY art which trumps xiao xiao any day. now go back to your hilarious smash bros parodies guys!

[More Brawl Taunts]

Not bad

Probably was a bit too reminiscant of the Awesome series though. And uh... there seems to be a little plagiarism from Shmorky's work.
