sadtape's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Moon Fall]

Strong aesthetic and tone, perfect length. Masterful work in general. Personally would have found it more eerie without the monsters. I was a bit more interested in the more ambiguously sinister imagery, like of the church and cryptic symbols and images. The creatures and children seemed too intentionally creepy in design in the middle, but the monsters after the 3 minute mark are beautifully done. Excellent.

BoredKid responds:

Fair points.

[cre8 me 01]

excellent. Love the constant flow of motion. Moody as well.

Sklerograph responds:

thanks bro :D

[RIP IT OUT]

Incredible. Just occurred to me by the end that this is a series you've been doing. Having zero context for this, I was still captivated. So expressive and well composed. Can't praise the action enough. The way it cuts from the fight as a character enters the scene and the struggle carries on in the backgorund. I love it all.

AntonM responds:

Thank you so much dude!

[Basement Buddies]

Well framed, well lit, awesome camera movement, and the sound works very nicely. I'd like a little more out of it but its still beautifully executed.

jellyeyes responds:

Thanks, fair point about the narrative, I would have to agree.

[Tiny Cop Cars]

Such a fun, crafty, and cinematic short. So excited to see what else you do. I'm seriously inspired by this! There's nothing quite like a good ol fashioned stop motion chase sequence.

jellyeyes responds:

Thanks, I think if you brought the sensibility of your other videos to a car chase, it would be very cool indeed.

[Nightmare Installed]

Very nice character animation, and overall a really nice flow. That glove finale was some real subtle terror lol.

AntonM responds:

Haha cheers man :)

[Goth Nightmare]

Really liked the voice acting and the glitch effects. Art style worked really nicely too. Great work!

littlbox responds:

Thanks! :D

[Billy's Behemoth Blast (2017)]

Really interesting art style and structure to the whole piece. The sound work was strong and managed to ground the super manic animation. There's also a really cool sense of scale with those birds eye views. I also like the concept alot! Never heard of that event until now.

Cookerzilla responds:

Thanks! Realism can be manic sometimes :))))))))

[Daily Routine]

The shapes and proportions aren't always quite how the should be, but animating a scene so heavily focused on realistic human form is a hell of a task and I think overall you captures it quite beautifully. Well framed and paced.

[Keith Reynolds can't make it tonight]

Wow. Such a breath of fresh air. Love the perspective, and the simplicity of the storytelling. The physicality is really grounded making the dark comedy both darker and funnier. Really great work.

FelixMassie responds:

Thank you - really glad to hear you enjoyed it!
