Snazzymation's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Knowledge is power]

Good animation. Why create fake Gods when there is already 1 God that is the God of all? Had to ask. rhetorical.

Impkid responds:

I'm using the term GOD just as an archetypical concept, not trying to form a new religion or blasphemy or nothing, in anyways, this is just the teology that i'm using for this alternate world that i made, for a fantasy tale, it's just fiction.

[Alan Wake Tribute]

Good animation work. I really think some of it could have used a bit more movement, but as long as it came out the they you wanted it looks great. Also it can be something to think about for next time. Nice detail work, the panning and zooming was good and it did help compensate for the lack of other movement. Cool effect for the bullets though, and also when he lowered his gun, that was an interesting technique. This is a cartoon, the bullet could have had 19 bullets, doesn't matter. Good work.

RidenerDesign responds:

Thanks for accepting that it doesn't matter lol. I definitely realized it was more than six shots, I just figured most people would forgive that since it's an animation. I'll still pay a little more attention to details next time. I'm glad you liked it!

[Dear, Princess]

its funny how a crappy animation that bashes God gets good reviews, but a Good animation that is for Christ gets the rough treatment. Good work. Great message.

thank you! :)

[2 Guys & a Jigsaw Puzzle]

...Good animation tech, but a few things....

7 for animation.

Here is the thing, You can't go about something the way you just did, without knowing what it is your talking about. For example, if I want to bash evolutionist or atheistic worldivews, then I can only do so with validity if I have studied and come to understand what those things are.

The funny thing about this is this.. Those peices were already there? Where did they come from? Christianity says that they were there. Scientific theory says, lets make a piece based off of other pieces that will make sence, based on other pieces and theories of other pieces.

Fluid animation and sound though.

TmsT responds:

It seems you are mistaken. There actually is, within this movie, a pile of jigsaw pieces that appear when humans make new discoveries or realisations. Jigsaw-piece shaped clouds float around in the sky above it, and two improbably-shaped men try to work out where the billions of pieces will fit. But even in the face of these glaringly inexplicable aspects of the story, you are right to question the origin of the jigsaw pieces. Indeed, they aren't "already there", because human knowledge is theoretically boundless and an infinite number of jigsaw pieces all being there at the same time regardless of whether the knowledge has been discovered - or could ever be discovered before humanity's inevitable extinction - or not would cause severe physical problems. It is implied during the dialogue regarding the as-yet-undiscovered Theory of Everything that these pieces are only there when the pieces of knowledge that they represent have been discovered by people like you and I. Scientific theories and methods might aid in their discovery, as might analogies, as might experience and insight, but such methods of gaining knowledge are of no concern to the two guys charged with solving the very physical jigsaw puzzle that results from the knowledge gained, just as a librarian is not expected to have authored or even read every book that he or she catalogues. The mechanism for these pieces appearing is neither revealed or relevant in the context of the story, but I cannot blame you for wondering about it and turning to relevant biblical texts for an explanation.
If Christianity "says" that the jigsaw pieces were, contrary to the constraints of physics, "already there", this is of no concern to me as the author, since the world depicted by this animated movie is simply about a jigsaw puzzle, and no prior knowledge of biblical texts explaining the origins of jigsaw puzzle pieces is required. Every day, thousands of people partake in jigsaw puzzle-solving activities without having studied the origins of jigsaw pieces as according to Christian beliefs, so even had I known about this, I would still not feel it necessary to confuse the issue by including references to that text. Simply set aside these concerns for now, and the story will become clear.

I submit that you would do well to understand what it is you are watching before you commit to writing a detailed analysis of what you may over-interpret it to be or into which you may be projecting too much of your personal experiences. But I certainly agree with your stance on thorough research of subjects for bashing, in order to go about doing the things that we would otherwise be unable to do.
