Bleak-Creep's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[the Quest of Ms. Pac-Man]

As a Ms. Pac Man superfan, this filled me with an awful lot of joy. Clyde is such a little cutie, and you managed to give these characters a ton of personality even without any dialogue. Loved it.

HOwLiNG-MAdFoxHatter responds:

Thank you!~

Clyde is best ghost, so glad to have done the Orange specter justice ^u^

[NGTV Christmas Marathon]

So far I've only really watched the Charlie Brown section, but the scale of this thing is genuinely impressive, and I love all the quirky little commercials and bumpers breaking up the segments too; they just add an extra layer of charm across the whole thing

Kolumbo responds:

thank you so much once again for coming on board for it, Bleak-Creep - hope you get a chance to sit down and watch the whole thing eventually - merry christmas!!!

[Jade's Diary: Amber's Airsoft Arena [Chapter 2 Finale]]

Surprised this is the least popular episode of this season, because I think it's easily my favorite one. You've always been great at action scenes and this is probably your finest work in that department.

D-slick responds:

Bro Thank you so much, and thank you so much for always supporting me dude!

[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.

IoCus69 responds:

Thank you for your feedback and for your concern :3

[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!

[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!

[the germs]

I love how you can always it's a Goji animation even from the very first frame. Chill and trippy as always!

Goji responds:

thank you for your support!!! it really means a ton

[Provide]

I don't fully understand this short, but I definitely think there's some cool things going on conceptually, even if they aren't all that clearly defined, and that lineless version below really is visually striking. It's a neat little piece!

CaldoChica responds:

That's completely fair. I feel like it is a bit of mess and functions as a neatish idea but I think I just could have done more in planning or writing to work out the kinks.
It also just feels like old emotions I don't resonate as much with now.
Regardless I think it functions as something to learn from and I really appreciate the kind words and you checking it out Bleak!

[Jade's Diary Chapter 2 (Promo)]

Your style on your animations is always such an inspiration. Those moving textures add such a nice visual flair too. Think I'll go ahead and back this thing! :D

D-slick responds:

Oh my god, Thank you so much. That really means a lot. It's a true honor!

[Rushdown Rivals - Alloy Update]

Spotted our girl, Maple, in there! This is just so cool to see!

I definitely to give this game a proper try. I’d only played the little demo from a ways back and it’s clearly come so far since then.

Spagato responds:

We made her as close as possible to the game. Even has the secret big mode :)
