MarkP0rter's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Boogley Bus Stop]

outstanding animation not so outstanding story

Only 138 reviews? This is kind of a shame to me. I honestly feel like telling you it was good work and you have to keep up the good work but mostly I don't write reviews because I don't know what to say. Just saying "cool", "great work" feels lame to me. You know you work your ass off and create something like that and just a plain "cool" doesn't justify for the hard work you've put into it- I don't know if that even makes any sense. I wasn't quite certain when writing it but I'm sure you get what I mean. So anyways this must have been a terrible pain in the ass to animate. BOY those characters movements are so fluid and smooth. Is it rotoscoped in any way? I also love the facial expressions of the character. Just lovely. I'm not quite sure if I get the story. Grumpy guy sitting on a bench being all grumpy and people guy comes around to cheer him up with success and the blue guy will "brighten up" and changes it's colour just like one of those mood rings or what? That's at least the way I see it. If you want me to be a little bitch I can tell you that the sizes of the characters change all the time and suddenly they are way smaller than the bench for no particular reason at all but that didn't bother me at all. I have to admit I'm incredible impressed there are actual cartoon/animation clubs in REAL LIFE. I thought all this would only be going on on the Interwebs. Sounds like a fun club and something that motivates you a lot to participate since real life feedback is always great than lame internet comments. If I was living there I would so go every time. So how long did you actually work on that animation? Would have taken me 3 month ha. So yeh I hope this review justifies.

TheBoogley responds:

Thanks for such a huge detailed review, I'm proud to have made such an impression on you. I made it over a period of about three weeks, working on and off in between other stuffs. Yeah, I do get a bit carried away and lose the proportions of the characters a bit. I'll try to keep a closer eye on that in future.

Beautiful

There isn't much I can say about this but "Beautiful". I nearly cried at the end. I think the note and flowers did the job already very well- showing that somebody put a tombstone for him and cared. There was no need for showing what was actually written on the note. But this is only my opinion and doesn't add anything negative to the movie- it works great with and without the text. When watching this movie I also thought "BOY this is long". Thumbs up for keeping up with this and actually finishing it. I've started so many music videos and gave up after 2 minutes because it was just killing me but you don't give up so big respect for that. The end made me think of About Schmidt. I assume the music in the movie is by your own band. I'm currently checking out your myspace page and it's great stuff. It's great to see how people are skilled in so many creative fields. So keep up the great work with everything: art, animation and music.

hell yeh

Ha I enjoyed all the songs you used. Like the music from Monkey Island 3 and I just love the Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe theme (like the whole show). I remember i saw the falling lift on b3ta. Was that one made with swift 3d? My favourite part would be the personal hells because it was just hilarious “What I am not racist”. I also enjoyed little details like Satan was reading the Necronomicon.
Just keep up the good work.

the falling lift was not made on swift, it was made in flash.
