tpm's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lifeless]

Style

I like this style of animation. The colors, the textured flicker effect, the decision to not use black borders on everything, etc. Did you draw everything in Flash? I'd love to see a source file or tutorial with this kind of animation and drawing. Do you know of any?

Bleak-Creep responds:

Yeah I did everything in Flash. The flickering effect was used by taking a large texture and chopping it up 4 different ways, then looping that over top of everything.

[The Camel Spider]

Can totally relate

I had one chase me during my first tour in Iraq. Not until my next tour did I learn they are just attracted to shadows! Haha. Also learned, their bite doesn't have venom like most of us thought, but can cause infection. Gotta love the daily safety briefings and the posters they have everywhere over here. Good animation, it made me and some buddies here in Iraq laugh :)

Falconer02 responds:

Cool! I'm glad I'm getting to people who actually have dealt with them. Thank you!

[dependency]

well...

it was more like a tool video to me, you shoulda used tool music :P

HeRetiK responds:

next time I'll make a NiN-style tool video :P

[Unreal Mission Impossible]

hmm

you do stick movies pretty good, the characters had fluid lifelike movement, but the fact remains, it's still a stick movie.. :( file size was way too big, use smaller loops instead of a large sound file. the missle was kinda cool looking.

Mad-Cow-1 responds:

Stick bigots are so obtuse.

[Scrap Book: Mon vs. Fita]

wow !!!

wow, great job! thats pretty snazzy.

the only thing i didn't like is that paper shadow effect was done too much.

damianmartins responds:

Actually, that reminds me that I forgot to put a shadow on my drawing hand. Thanks.
