AndieCiambotti's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Spirit of Halloween]

M. Sasek

I love how your work resembles M. Sasek's style. The short was entertaining. Lovely quiet ambient, awesome humour, great drawings...
Cheers.

["Wake Up Martin"]

Subtle

I really like the fact that you've made this on a snowy day off of school, it gives the short a very weird feeling.
ERH's music's always good.
I somehow find this short splendid.

a NG classic

I remember watching this 9 years ago. I loved it.
cheers

[A Part]

nice concept

it reminded me to your other flash movie dependency.
in my opinion you take a lot of the german expressionism, and working such idea fits perfectly. i like "1 ghost I" but I think "2 ghost I" is still the best song from ghost I. still it worked fine.
hope to see you work even more with german expressionism since it's absolutely fantastic. I think i'm going to watch the cabinet of dr. caligari now :P

["Fun Shorts" #1]

gracias Andie!!

[Animals]

Very nice

I loved the concept of the story, at least what it was to me.
The last shot did confused me a bit, though. If he commited suicide, why would he go "upstairs", since it is considered a sin. Although, forgiveness exist, even in my kind of limbo.
The style of your animation on this one reminded me a lot to the amazing academy nominated animated short "The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello", check it out if you can.
I've been checking your other submission to Newgrounds, and they well very nice as well, the music choice is amazing. I've checked out ERH on that sound website too. Very impressive job.
Kudos to you, and I hope to see more stuff from your brain soon.
Take care.

[The Undead]

Twilight Zone

This was the only flash that gave me the creeps. The naked character just scared me. It was a great short, with great conversations and an awesome animating style.

[NOCTURNE prelude]

¡Emocionante!

Bueno, ya con los primeros segundos al escuchar el theme de Laberinto del Fauno fue un placer a los oidos, aunque luego voy a criticar la música. Ahora comienzo con la animación y los dibujos.
Las caracterisitcas dibujadas del niño y sus expreciones estan muy buenas, y el personaje que lo acompañaba en el bote también, toda una excelente ambientación para lo que yo entendi como un purgatorio. La animación esta buena, conociendo todos tus trabajos sé que tenes un muy buen frame by frame, aca no esta del todo mostrado, pero me gusto igual.
El paso de la pelicula es un toque lento, y creo que si hubieses utilizado otra música o quiza añadirle sonido ambiente hubiese ayudado a que sea más "fluido" quizas. Conociendo también tu buen gusto por la música, hubiese estado bueno escucharlo aqui a françois chanfrault, no se si lo conoces, pero hubiese pegado mucho con esta primera parte de la serie, o quiza algún track de Aphex Twin de su album Selected ambient works. Pero igual la música me gusto (yo estoy haciendo un corto musicalizado con Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies también :P).
Espero con muchas ansias la segunda parte de esta prometedora serie.
Mis cordiales saludos desde Argentina.
