Reviews for ""Heart Broke""

pointless

I'm a fan of knox and I was fond of seeing a good claymation beginning.
Your stop motion is awesome. Hope to see more claymations in the future.
Clay is not dead whew that's a relief. Love clay

PS: It lacked script. After getting me so worked up seeing a claymation on the front page. It's like going out on a date with a beautiful girl and she has the ugliest voice ever. Be sure to get a script next time

TheSJproduction responds:

Thanks, it wasn't really a script, it was just madness lol. Yeah, I had no idea about the featured thing, I can't control that. :P Thanks for the review mate

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that was really disturbing.

Emo Emo Emo....

Well, this goes over the top and under it at the same time! I thought there would be a plot with this "Heart Broke" considering it included one voice sample, but it's just an overblown showcase of someone getting jilted real hard... and reacting to it even harder.

When do you know when to stop? I mean, even if someone saw the opening, which explains the trigger but not the cause of the resultant behavior... a good number of them would likely be disgusted, even horrified. The intentions were toward a joke, as though this stuff was nothing but a reflection on how people blow these things out of proportion. As things get blown out of proportion, the gore piles up but the laughs do not pile on. Sadly, the excessive, pointless brutality fails to get the humored reaction that it desires. It gets a bunch of blank stares instead.

Tack that on with the sensation of wasted effort. Claymation is virtually a classic animation approach without tween symbols or anything that Flash provides. Though crude in its cartoon aesthetic, the gore effects and character animation for four different figures took quite some time to complete. On top of that, Newgrounds' size restriction forces this one to be featured on YouTube for high definition (like it would get any prettier?). In short, this claymation had lots of effort pooled into it, just so people could gawk and shake their heads at it.

It's no wonder that its technical wonders and content got it Front Page status. Newgrounds tends to favor those who try to make a joke out of gore, like Assassin or Pico, All Fads Die or Madness. It's all the same to this crowd. Still, if you want a better representation of "TheSJProduction's" claymation ability, there are plenty of examples in his author profile and flash catalog than "Heart Broke".

TheSJproduction responds:

What? I have no idea what you just said, lol. The claymation HAS NO MEANING, its just simple and right to the point "broken heart". Art is art, the whole thing is made out of clay, and some hummingbird feeder for the blood. I made this because i'm showing how a person over reacts to heart break, and pretty much making fun of this pathetic planet i live in. idk if this answers your questions, i can't understand what you are saying. Can someone emphasize this for my human knowledge? lol
- thanks i guess-
~SJ~

Hear me out!

This is bad. It doesn't even qualify as experimental, because there is clear story here. It's more developmental. But That's not why it is bad. It is bad because the violence is not justified, and it a little too much. You animated this very well, but It is not good because you go a little over board and do things that don't make sense. I'm sorry, but keep making more animations but try a little less violence. I hope this review is helpful.

dude...

Way too violent, you can exaggerate but that was way too much, only reason i am scoring this atall is because Claymation is very hard too do
