Kamikaye's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fallen Star]

Very intersting idea that they have to unity-spaghetti some code on the fly. Rarely have I seen someone try to actually show what ppl do on their sci-fi consoles. :)

octorden responds:

Thanks for commenting on that. I was close to giving up on animating the UI stuff because I felt like I was making unnecessary work for myself. Maybe thats the reason you don't see it often, because it takes an extra layer of thought to come up with something? I had the idea while I was using shading nodes for the ships in Blender and thought it could be a fun idea to implement.

Profound reasoning for building a F1 car :)

Absolutely amazing collab !! I loved every scene in this. Splendid reinterpretations and lots of improvements too in regards of clarity of the fight scenes for example. Stellar work of everyone, I'll rewatch this a dozen times to get all the details :)

[An Overlord's Day - Technofeudalism 2040]

Love the ouroboros for AI. It's a really good compact illustration with loads of background detail connecting it to the other animation.

Ty, I've always called A.I. a Self-Eating Lie Factory (SELF)

[A Serf's Day - Technofeudalism 2040]

Viciously looped. Cyberpunk grittiness. Very well animated and voiced !

[Train World]

Love the colors and composition ! How a color gradient leads through the whole trip is tying it all a bit better together.

[FLCL REANIMATED OP]

Do I see a slight reference to Breaking the Habit or rather general early 2000s music video aesthetics on top of that iron in the end :) I love it, its such a nice flow and direction of collaborators !

StudioGEARHEAD responds:

You are completely right! We didn’t reference Breaking the Habit specifically but we wanted to give the whole thing a very Y2K late-night music vid sort of feel. Truth be told the backgrounds in that part w/ the kaleidoscope effect were done out of necessity: by the end we had vvv little time to make more detailed backgrounds. The one with Ninamori is actually an off-screen recording of Jet Set Radio playing on my CRT. All that stuff was just video recordings with a bunch of effects. The close-up of the guitar was a reference to the ending of the SpongeBob movie LOL.

[Split Apart | SAFE MODE: 07]

Absolute art ! Unique series I love following. I have to rewatch this a few times to catch on mostd details :)

[Dexter's Lab Intro Reanimated]

Thats beautifully and lovingly animated, nice flow of styles here :)

[RaW tImE!!]

Straight grabbed from the MTV satelite broadcast :)
