Bleak-Creep's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jade's Diary: Vicious Vanguard]

Your action scenes and all those cool overlaid textures never cease to impress. Very nice stuff, as always!

[Soda Street]

Love the conscience so much. Killer style and comedic timing with this whole thing though; really polished stuff!

[Doomscrolling]

Unfortunately only a mild exaggeration of our current reality. Good stuff!

[Sorry sorry sorry girl - AMV]

This took a hard turn so quick, both literally and emotionally. There seems to be a lot of background lore at play that we don't really get enough time to explore, but the style shifts and jump cuts are really effective in setting the tone.

[Hole- Animated Short Film]

I meant to watch this as soon as it came out, but I got so busy and then I forgot until just now.

While the animation itself is a little sparse at times, you've got some really strong visual storytelling here. That realization of what happened to the grandma hits hard, and I thought it was really clever how you painted the flower to look like a burning flame too; it ties things together well.

I'm so sorry you're going through this right now too...hope you're able to stay safe.

Thank you for your feedback and for your concern :3

[World of Horror [Launch Trailer]]

I've only done a couple runs of this game and still have no real idea how it works, but the art is SOOOO good I really wanna come back to it and give it a proper try. Trailer is incredible too, wonderful work.

[NecroMansters Tutorial (PART 2)]

So excited to try this! Will back once it’s up! :D

[HOMESTEAD (Student Film)]

Oh wow, this was really, REALLY good. The multimedia visual presentation is stunning and I love the pages of text in the backgrounds that help ground the story with a bit more context.

The looseness of the narrative pairs extremely well with the sparse ambiance of the sound design too. It gives it a really haunting quality; even if all of the imagery itself isn't exactly negative, you really get a sense of the solitude and isolation that these women must have felt as they made the journey out west.

This feels like a huge leap forward for you as an animator and a storyteller. Genuinely powerful stuff.

MayaLaCookie responds:

Thank you Bleak! Honestly this is the kind of stuff I want to aim towards for future animations so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[Noisette's Caramel Cake]

Finally getting around to watching this. Haven't played Pizza Tower, but this is super cute, and the animation is nice and quirky.

[Lovely Clover]

Very cute. You really nailed that retro VG cutscene look with this. I wish all the animation looked as polished as the shot where the girl shoves the clovers into her bag, but it's a nice little short all the same. Good work! :)

JRetrioX responds:

I see what you mean. I had a personal deadline for the animation so I didn't have as much time to polish it. It was also the first full-length animation I had made in two years, so I was relearning animation fundamentals while making it. I'll be sure to put extra polish in my future animations when I can. Thank you for your feedback!
