SeethingSwarm's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Tragic Trilogy]

This was great! I loved all the animations, easter eggs, extra links to more cool stuff and just the way it was all presented in an interactive world. Very cool style! The story with the fish is quite disturbing, but it's my fave :)

Merol responds:

Glad you liked it! And thanks for liking the fishes movie, that's the one that made me suffer the most :/

[Dear Bear]

Such a sweet story. Your stop motion skills are great! I love all the little details in every scene. This is just wonderful. I really hope Dear Bear gets on the front page. It's so refreshing and original. Great job :)

raeberac responds:

Hehe, thank you, means a lot! :)

['Chicken Castle']

Awesome stuff, loved it! :)

Butzbo responds:

Thank you very much! :D

[Quintessence]

I really enjoyed watching this. I always get a kick out of your stuff! This animation had a very haunting atmosphere to it, which I love. The ending was pretty surreal and for a while there I had the feeling that I was tripping on something. I especially loved the room with all the doubles in it... but I have absolutely no idea what the whole point of the story is. Maybe I'm a bit stupid and slow. I was confused most of the time and I would really love an explanation to all of this, if there is any.

Anyway, great work on the animation, atmosphere and for keeping me glued to the screen. Even though this was a bit different, it still had the same strange sense of humour existing in all of your other stuff. That's something that has always attracted me to your creations.

exotworking responds:

Hey bud, nice to see you dropping by. What really bugs me with some movies is that if the hero dies, the film will be over. So I tried to fix this matter by giving death some extra time y know? :) I'm really curious to see what happens after my body becomes dust and whatnot. I'd really like to have an insight into all the territories I failed to experience properly during my brief lifetime. I'd like to understand all poetry and all profanity, the whole spectrum. At the moment I feel more like that poet, but I hope that at least after my death I will be able to feel it all. Thanks for your review SS, I truly appreciate it.

UnderARock responds:

exotworking responds:

The guy from mashhouse also has a cameo :)

[Childsplay]

Very nice!

Had a funny ending :)
What is up with these people getting confused over the whole hamster thing? It's as clear as daylight! Anyway, nice animation and execution. You're right, sound could have been better.

Why is the filesize so big? Is it the 3d stuff you imported into flash or what? I don't see how the sounds could have cranked it up to 7.1mb cuz frankly there's just not that much sound in the movie unless the music track playing in the background is like 5 mins long and we only hear a few seconds of it, but I think it's a short loop right? I'm rambling. Nice animation!

malibaba responds:

thanks :) well i used After effects to combine the 3d and flash, and then imported the movie to flash again so i could make a swf. thats why it gets a bit bigger than regular flash files. but if i take down the quality even more, it will not look good.
the music is also comped in after effects.

[One Big Morphing Orgasm]

Pretty Cool

I wish there was color involved, but I guess that would have made it much harder and could have ruined the morphing completely. So better to play it a bit safe for an experiment that has quite a few collaborators. Nice work guys!

TheBoogley responds:

maybe next time, if there is a next time... :)

[Custodial Catastrophe]

SWEET!

These kind of trippy stuff really gets my juices flowing!
This was very well animated and the voice-acting was also cool. Really liked the characters and the atmosphere. I LOVED the mutation at the end. It was so creepy and a perfect ending. MAKE MORE!

VillainousTurtleSLC responds:

Hey thanks man I'll try and do some more. I have made tons of cartoons but most aren't in good SWF format. Go to my site to check them out. www.villainousturtle.com
