date: January 21, 2009

fantastic demo reel, if that doesnt get you a job somewhere at a big studio i dont know what will. you animation style is clean and has a nice comic book feel to it. i also loved all the experimental stuff. keep up the great work

Score: 10

"fantastic"

submission: 2008 Showreel

date: December 22, 2008

very lively, innovative style of stop motion animation. this reel was a fantastic showcase of your work, i had never seen anything of yours before but as far as i can tell you're like the anti-knox. instead of half assing your claymation and using static blue blobs, you go all out and treat it with as much attention to detail as a drawn animation. im amazed by how much life you were able to breathe into your clay, especially loved how you extracted such character from that simple yellow blob with the exhausted heavy breathing.

all in all, some of the best stop motion work ive seen on NG and i will now watch your other stuff

Score: 9

"last project?"

submission: It's Cold Inside

date: December 18, 2008

thats a real shame if this is your last work on NG. you're definitely goin places with that neat ass style of yours. im sure you'll have success beyond NG and i really hope you do consider coming to ucla

i almost feel like i need to watch this again to take it all in. the ending was very open ended. was it him asking her "what happened to you" after killing her? or her asking him before killing her? or him asking himself? or was it open to interpretation whether he killed her at all? because i feel like there are multiple layers of meaning there in that line alone.

as for the rest of the flash, very nice mood and style. i like the way you use stark contrasts and splashes of color in your backgrounds, and your use of blurs and FBF is very unique as well. your characters are neat too, intentionally sketchy looking, i take it, but also somewhat expressionistic. in other words, sockrape is a fucking dumbshit. the artwork was intentionally distorted to convey the mental state of the protagonist, and it really doesn't look that bad at all, its a cool style. i mean come on "she was kind of pretty" and you see her face so skewed it almost looks mangled... tell me that wasn't a conscious choice by the artist

im sad to see another bright spot fizzle out in this sea of shit called the portal. i look forward to anything you do in the future because you sure as fuck have impressed me thus far

"it may be tweenless but that doesnt make it good"

submission: A Tweenless Animation

date: December 16, 2008

you need to work on your animating skills a lot. as of now, your FBF looks bad, very sketchy. did you use a mouse to draw it? because it looks like you did. might want to invest in a tablet or improve your artistic skills by taking art classes and such.

a few other suggestions. think of something legitimate to animate, don't just go from one thing to the next with no logical structure or narrative whatsoever. i know you're only 15 and mindless violence naturally appeals to you but it does not exactly make for a good or innovative animation. but good effort and intentions, i guess

liked the news post about underrated animations, btw

Score: 8

"decent animation"

submission: Look up at the sky

date: December 15, 2008

good little loop, nothing too fancy but it was visually appealing. this would work well as a screen saver, although it does need a little tweaking. i think you can eliminate that pause in the music by changing your audio file from stream to event and choosing "loop" in the dropdown menu. that should make it a bit smoother when the flash cycles

i was a big fan of rotten antenna and this was somewhat similar graphically... you have a way with tweens, my friend. your flashes have a very nice ambiance too. keep up the good work, perhaps move on to something a little more narrative based... this is good for an experiment, now take it one step further

Score: 10

"garbage"

submission: The Lazer Collab Reloaded

date: November 18, 2008

i despised every second of this collab. it was absolutely despicable in every way. i tried to find something redeeming about it, but i honestly can't find anything.

i can't emphasize this enough: this website is not 4chan, its newgrounds. "shoop teh whup!!!" is a joke that even fucking 4chan and /b/ itself no longer find even the slightest bit funny. its like a 3 or 4 year old joke, for fuck's sake.

this flash consisted of unbelievably half assed, poorly drawn, painfully unfunny animations with a meme tacked on at the end of each one, as though that automatically gives each author the right to make complete horseshit and still get a 4.2 and 700+ reviews saying "lol shoop teh woop teh funny teh 10/10"

the best advice i can possibly offer to all of the artists who contributed to this is to not listen to the masses. never do anything even remotely like this ever again. disconnect yourself from your internet inside jokes and your computers and go watch old cartoons or old hollywood films or something worthwhile and original that has nothing to do with fucking stupid obscure nerdy ass humor derived from a lousy hentai website

PLEASE.

"uncharted territory"

submission: Rats On Cocaine - Ep #10

date: October 23, 2008

i always look forward to new rats on cocaine episodes just to see how each new episode could possibly get any more subversive than the last. in a way, this is the last truly creative series on NG because it constantly pushes the envelope of good taste and takes animation to horrific and wonderful places it has never been before. this is the sort of stuff that is SO fucked up, it will NEVER be mainstream no matter how low our standards go. it is quintessentially cult. to me, this series is the precise reason a site like newgrounds exists.

this episode was no exception, not my favorite in the series but not the least bit disappointing. im fairly sure that sexual humor this deviant has never been attempted in a movie. i mean shit, you really covered it all... scat fetishes, necrophilia, the works. the part where he fisted alice so hard her tampon popped out of her mouth was great, so twisted and hilarious. i had an idea to make an animation similar to that, but you pulled it off in a way more disgusting way than i could have ever hoped to achieve. also, the doo-wop pussy wounds were also classic. i couldn't stop laughing at the lyrics.

again i say, keep up the great work, dean. keep animating whatever abhorrent thought pops into that deranged and brilliant mind of yours.

im sure the countless reviews saying "OMG ew i didn't read the rating yucky! :(" make it all worth it
