Ritaly's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ancient Cosmos]

I haven't logged in or rated anything on Newgrounds for years, but I felt the need to tell you that you really have something special here. This is incredible. Please make more.

spacefader responds:

Now I want to see the play.

This was really neat - the rotoscoping looked especially good. Can't wait to see what it looked like in the end result.

TheBoogley responds:

I couldn't film it last night, I'm going to the theatre early tonight to try again.
The problem is I need a camera that can capture footage in dark conditions...

Finally

Someone uses some good music. Most videos like this that get to the front page have really gay music, but you busted out the Sabbath for this one. I'm truly impressed.

The video itself was good - the ending message was a little cheesy, but it was sort of personal, so I can't really ding you for that.

All in all, it was good work. And I hope this starts a trend for animators to stop using Linkin Park, and have them start using Black Sabbath in their videos. :)

Hildebrandt responds:

If cheesy or not, SABBATH FUCKING KICKS ASS, most music that is created nowadays (I am NOT an old guy) is plain and simple b00lshiart, thx fow the review.

[Boogley Bus Stop]

Melty

That was my one word to describe it. Everything moved in at the same pace, in a smooth and fluid motion.

If I was a terrible person, I'd call this "trippy," but I'm a good person, so I won't.

TheBoogley responds:

phew, that was close. :3

[Chanter Tales 1.2]

Well Done.

Man, I really enjoyed this. Good graphics, good animation and a great soundtrack. I'm really digging the acoustic guitar; it's got an awesome tone. I also like how it's not trying to be too dark or mysterious, it's refreshing on a site like this; it gives the movie a certain innocent quality. The animation style was pretty awesome too, and you have a great eye for colour. Really wicked job.

By the way, what kind of guitar do you have?

Ghosty22 responds:

I have a Martin Dreadnaught DXME. I think that's the guitar I used for it. Sometimes I use my father's guitar, which is a some kind of "Guild." My father's guitar sounds a bit better, because it has a solid wood top. Mine has some kind of cheap partical board top. Mine however is easier to play, because the strings are closer to the fretboard. My dad's strings are really high, and they chew up the fingers on my left hand, so I usually just use it for slide guitar playing...

I also have a Fender Fat Stratocaster electric guitar, and a Hamer Duotone.

[Tinman]

Well that was nice and emo...

This movie looks excellent, there's no doubt about it. I guess it had an okay message, but it seemed at little too "after school special" for me. The music was not too bad. And I told myself that if the robot began to cry, I was going to close the window. Luckily, for your sake, it didn't cry, and I watched it until the end. Nice job.

BlackmarketKraig responds:

Thanks...

Now that you brought it up, the idea of a crying robot intrigues me.
A few people had a problem with the fact that my robot blinked, I wonder how they would react if he cried..? Haha.

Anyway, thanks for the good review and I'm pleased to not have pissed you off with a weeping robo-man.
