Whoa........................
That was practically amazing.
Truth be told, I don't think I could ever watch the actual show even if someone paid me.
However, the music and the spendid animation made this quite the must see music video.
Reviews for "Smile smile smile!"
Hmm... I like it. Now, personally, I think the part that could use the most work would be the part where she's walking towards the camera. The walking seems a little off, and it's kind of dragged out - overall, the quality seems just a little lower than the other parts. Something else that struck me as odd was that Applejack is the *only* one who didn't get a smile. I mean, I suppose she had good reason not to, but it still felt out of place. Another tiny thing is that, at the beginning, the line in her tail seems to be bouncing out of time with the rest of her tail. And I don't know if this one makes much sense, but the smiles didn't look quite as "smile-ish" as I thought they should. They were a bit too... indistinct, I guess is the word.... Yeah, I'm a real master of communication over here. What I'm trying to say is that I think they needed to be more easily identifiable as smiles.
Anyway, this is largely a review by exception - if I didn't mention it, it was pretty good, if not better. Just make sure you practice lip synching and making the animation smoother and more lively and refine your concepts and yadda yadda yadda, all the stuff you'd naturally improve on anyway, and belt out another gem for us.
Overall, good job!
original is so much better.
this 1 is ... boring.
Loved some of the transitions, and the eye work in the start was great :). Some of the other ponies could do with a bit more refined animation (ie, Fluttershy flying), but in all, and solid and enjoying animation c:. x
As a brony, I was incredibly pleased by this, but I have to review it as a newgrounder.
The animation here was splendid. The delivery was really good, but it would have been nice to see just a bit more variety. (more background ponies, slightly more detailed backgrounds, etc.) I am not trying to be nit-picky, but the lip animation was just a little off. I won't deny that it was very smooth overall.
The artwork itself was fantastic. The colors were blended very well. I can't tell you how many people just put too much pink on Pinkie Pie. The filling heart, and the suns at the end were just a very nice touch. I loved it. the Inclusion of the rest of the "Mane 6" was very well done.
Finally, the audio. I am very glad that it didn't sound choppy at all. Very clean audio is a very good thing to have. I have personally added audio into some AMV's, only to find that they sound like garbage afterward. All in all, ponies or not, this kind of high quality is the kind of stuff I like to see here on NG, and I look forward to your future endeavors. SMILE! You did great!
