Eustaquio-Man's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[-LSD-DMT-]

Amazing Atmosphere!

Wow. Amazing. I loved how succesfull you were at establishing an atmosphere of confusion and uncertainty, as well as the craziness that I suppose comes with LSD.
Great! I loved the blurring, the clumsy, erratic movements, and overall, the sound. That is what makes this movie express what it expresses.
Loved it. Atmosphere is everything.
Ever watched a little horror Flash called "Voyeur School", by Kol-Belov?
It reminds me alot of your work. Not sure if it is in NG, but you should definitely watch it.Congratulations, and I hope you win some sort of award/prize.

5'd,
Eustaquio Man

[Hello Tomorrow]

You'll be doing amazing things in no time.

So, this is your first full-fledged Flash, so to speak?
Well, it's no something I particularly like, but if what you say is true, then you're someone with great potential. I grasped a kind of metaphor there, too. Cool!
My advice would be to add more detail to your artwork. Detailed shadows, perhaps more complex characters (Which are really al right the way they are. Just a suggestion.), and the use of filters, like blurring, which have some interesting storytrelling effects.

All Time Favorite

I've always loved your animations, Zekey. However, this is the greatest one I've ever seen. God, it's perfect in every way. Everything fits. Perfectly. Graphics are amazing, as always. I love the experssions and the way you combine 2D and 3D, as well as normal drawing, special efects and from both surrealistic and stylized; and simplistic and cartoony characters. Music fits perfectly, too. Waldemar's voice is awesome. Perfect for the characters. There's little violence here, but what's there is great. For me, a PLAY button is all the interactivity a movie this long needs.
Humour! Great! No need to explain.
Again, this is my favorite Flash movie. And it's WELL above my other favorites, too.
Can't really understand the idiots who don't like this Flash. I mean, even if they don't, at least they should see the quality of tha animation. And as for hatemail writers, don't fume over it. We all know it's just either little kids who think it's funny or pitiful idiots who don't have anything to do.
Hey, have you ever considered using Flash as a stepping stone towards TV? I'm pretty sure your work is worth it. Or perhaps the FlashTV Podcast, at the very least? We'd all love to have your cartoons in our iPods.
Anyway, congratulations. You are an amazing animator and artist.

XD
hey eustaquio man!

Beleive me, I've tried multiple times to get a job animating for television, but I seem to fail each time.

I wanna see your next flash, bud!:]

[Aftertaste]

Zekey rocks on.

Another great piece of flash. You are a master of experimental films. You said it didn't have to mean anything, but I believe you put a logic of your own behind everything you put into this video, what with the plugging and unplugging, the robot tearing his face off, and crushing the little guy, and the weird woods thing. However, it surprises me that the quality of the videoclips you put in there is so bad. It lowers quality overall. My humble suggestion would be to either show the explosions and everything that appears in the clips and find an alternate way to animate it. Or you could just find a way toraise video quality, but seeing the time you've been doing Flash and your experience, I'd like to think you've already tried. Anyway, that's just me.
Keep it up and make more!

Hey esquito.
Technically you can blame the crappy video clip quality on Window's Movie Maker. That program fecked everything up. :C

[eyePod]

Awesome.

This is great, man! I loved how you animated everything, from the background colors to lip-sync to the great break-dancing guy. Cool song, too. Gonna search the Internet for it later on.
It even made me laugh at the start. Congratulations!

[Intelligent Critique]

HAHAHAHA!

That is gold, man. I love your disturbing style, combined with your bizarre sense of humour. The voice was HILARIOUS! I've already seen quite a few of your animations and so far, I've loved all of them. BUT THIS! This is better than those others. And Gawd, what is much more disturbing than your cartoons is the fact that there are sad fools out there who waste their time writing long, hateful reviews just to insult people they don't even know.
Cool! Thanks for making fun of these people.

[Squidward (?) collab]

This was as funny as it was random. Great stuff!

Aaahhh...Good, stylish, seizure-provoking random flash...Truly one of the best things you can create with this amazing lil' software. I loved every bit of it, specially all of W-P-S's animations. His style is awesome.
Overall rating: Weird as hell. Great, in a seizures-are-cool kind of way.
Zekey's part was good, too. I think it must've taken a lot of work to animate the kaleidoscopic...thingy, but I was expecting more from him. Oh, well...it still kicks ass.
Keep it up!
Oh, and, W-P-S got himself a new fan.

[Los Dias Sin Dias]

Amazing tale!

This is one great animation, in all aspects.
I love how you are able to make 2D characters and objects move as if they were in 3D. You're a tweening master. I can't say I liked the music that much, but it fit the film perfectly and that's what matters. I love how you use tones and colors to set a mood in your movies.
Storyline is great, too. I loved how you use metaphors to communicate the message of the story. How everything looks different to the little girl and the boy, how he sees the doctors as monsters, how they free him from his sick, ghostly shell, how everything is gray and gloomy and changes to a colorful spectrum once the boy is cured and he can see clearly.
And finally, I loved the short paragraph at the end, which I believe is quite true.
This is a great, meaningful story, and those don't come by too often.

Coolness: +LOTS

Very nice work!
I loved the animation.
It's interesting how you were able to show an entire life in so little time. I liked it. And this only took 3 hours to think up and animate? That's great! I hope o see more of your stuff.
Good luck!

[Filthy Pests #1]

Wow.

Great animation!
The artwork was great, as well as humour and plot. Voice acting was over average, too.
Keep it up!
Looking forward for Filthy Pests #2!
