"Pretty Damn Funny"

submission: Professor Layton pt.1

date: August 18, 2008

Had me laughing out loud for sure. I hope you take this as a compliment, but it had this sweet Home Movies/Dr. Katz thing going on with the way the characters spoke over each other and the way you used the animation style and the camera cuts to your advantage. Great comedic timing overall and I'd say you accomplished exactly what you were going for. Cheers!

Score: 5

"Har har"

submission: How 2 Succeed on NG pt.2

date: June 28, 2008

It was cute, I guess. I noticed you ranked culturally relevant satire or whatever up there at the top, which I guess this was intended to be. It just didn't seem like so much of a satire as you just listed off things that everyone's already noticed. The sarcastic parody of a parody of parody comment just sorta made me roll my eyes.

The voice acting thing really didn't hit home as much as I would have expected, although I'll be so bold as to guess I'm one of these estimated 5 voice actors on newgrounds. If anything, I was kinda disappointed by how uninspired the voice acting parodies were.

The most ironic part to me was how you specifically acknowledged the importance of timing in comedy. I felt that the lack of comedic timing was actually one of the greatest shortcomings of this flash.

All in all, I think you're a good artist and I'm glad to share a newgrounds with you.

"Speechless"

submission: There She Is!! step3

date: June 6, 2008

Amalloc,

You are the only one who ever makes me step back and rethink the significance of what I am and what I do. You do so much with your characters without having them speak at all. It's so inspiring and humbling.

As I sit here, drinking my red tea, tired and expecting only three hours of sleep tonight, the though goes through my mind, "If all animators did this, I wouldn't have the thing that makes me happiest in the entire world." In case you hadn't guessed yet, that thing is cartoon voice acting. Bringing characters to life through speech and acting brings me great joy, and watching what you're able to do practically on your own strikes me with awe. What you make can be appreciated by all cultures around the world because it requires no language.

In spite of what seems like a riff between your world and mine, the "There She Is!!" cartoons are probably my favorite among any shorts I've ever seen, animated or otherwise. You and your team are an inspiration, Amalloc. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your latest creation with the Newgrounds community.

"Cool idea, good music, vocal issues"

submission: ATHF Theme Remix

date: April 3, 2007

First of all forgive me if my terminology's off, I'm not music expert, I just say what I hear. I really enjoyed the instrumental side of this piece and what it added to the traditional ATHF song. The main problem emerges with the quality of the vocal track. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think that the vocals lack presence. This could be related to mixer levels or simply the quality of the recording itself, but it gives the piece an undesirable amateurish feel. It could be that simple filter could make the difference between what you have now and sounding pro. I'd love to help you out, but music is beyond the scope of what I'd normally be doing with an audio mixer.
