Spotlight Critiques
A group focused on reasonably criticizing the old and new animations featured in the spotlight and future animations brought onto the spotlight so no spotlight animations are thrown into the background and forgotten behind the new animations.
Rules
-If you are to vote for any animation that is your own, go ahead and vote, but vote on it as if you are looking at your old self and bringing up what you can improve on.
-Forcefully telling people everywhere to hate on an animation isn’t cool. Really, don’t be that guy just cause you want the top spot.
-Vote hard, be hard on the people who get spotlight, they already are ranked high having their animation presented in spotlight, so don’t be afraid to give a low rating on that stuff, that all is private anyway.
-Go ahead and give a statement of what you see on the animation, you can put your exact rating in or not on every category. Just don’t force yourself to make one, it’s not necessary.

WE ARE ALL CAUGHT UP. FINALLY.
Cooking With Lulu Ep 3: Burger Ft. Meg by Inferno Animations
Not gonna lie. This sounds different and interesting. I’m interested.
http://sticknodes.com/spotlight/cooking-with-lulu-ep-3-burger-ft-meg/Stick Nodes Avengers: Endgame the Movie by VariousPond
Still know him as Pondepie. This will be different. It’s a recreation of an entire movie into 30 minutes using a mobile animation app. Can’t give it a high rating for story cause it ain’t his story, and the creativity of the scenes will be quite limited. I gotta rate this one based off of how he adapts the animation into SN.

ARCADE FIGHTERS: Combo Collab by Arcade Fighters / jomsht
Whats a better time than now to ask Jomsht my one question that is currently bothering me right now.
@thisaccount
So 1000 Nodes max for the figure but what about weaponry in the movieclips. Do the movieclips just not have to have to go beyond 1000 nodes? Or…
http://sticknodes.com/spotlight/arcade-fighters-combo-collab/°《Clan Emnity Series》° Arcania (Episode 1) by Clan Emnity 《OFFICIAL》
Ah shit. Another Clan series.

Im taking notes as I’m watching this episode right now…

Replying to:
Just watched it and I am not impressed as I expected myself to be. Animation is decent for the most part. But theres alot it’s missing.
-
Shit late reply i don’t check the site much
but yeah 1000 nodes max for total, including weapons, guns, and everything in the movieclip

Alright. Well soon I will have my character bumped down enough.

Operation Secret Eye: Trailer 2 by Darkboy Animation
Just a trailer. I really don’t expect much. 90 percent of trailers just end up being discarded in the final product of SN animations. But I will still rate it like any other animation.
http://sticknodes.com/spotlight/operation-secret-eye-trailer-2/Ultimate Stick Fight Tournament – Episode 1 by Mici Animations
Another series by Mici. Unsure if this means he abandoned Champion. But We’ll see what this has to offer. Looks like something without any story to it.

So… Close…..
NARUTO VS OROCHIMARU by RV23 4YT2
Never watched or had any interest in Naruto. But like most SN “anime fights” this probably will be lackluster. Hope I’m wrong.
http://sticknodes.com/spotlight/naruto-vs-orochimaru/BATTLE-CEPTION (Arcade Fighters) by UNITY DRAGON ANIMS !
Ah… More Arcade Fighters stuff. Since this stuff is a collaborative effort in animations and animations are recycled to maintain that arcade style, I gotta judge primarily on just the movement and various other things.

THIS GIRL WAS CRAZY (Animated Story) by Tomi Animations
This looks different. But at the same time, new additions to the kinds of animations SN animators make tend to be low quality. But I am interested to see what this has to offer. Almost to the end…
http://sticknodes.com/spotlight/this-girl-was-crazy-animated-story/OC Battles #4: SMH (Hanae) V SMI (Iyrin) by SMX
SMX has some cool stuff, and I would be lying if I weren’t interested to see what he does here.
http://sticknodes.com/spotlight/oc-battles-4-smh-hanae-v-smi-iyrin/
-
the “SMH (Hanae) V SMI (Iyrin) by SMX” was really well done from a dialogue/plot/cinematic perspective, I really enjoyed the way he built some lore so quickly and in an entertainingly visual manner
even the action at the end was great too
2020-09-16 21:53:16 UTC-
Replying to:
I can point out 8 problems easily with visuals and 20 with story. Though it beats most SN animations out there. But the visual problems that I see all throughout this bother me more than the problems surrounding story. But the action was good, for how little there was.

Attack Drone Daily Collab by Gaby The Anim
I have no idea what a daily collab is. I guarantee you it isn’t a collab done in one day.
http://sticknodes.com/spotlight/attack-drone-daily-collab/Black Blood Private Tryout by Makato Anims ツ
This has some nice friggin backgrounds there. Vector foliage is hard to make. But you never know until you see the actual animation.
http://sticknodes.com/spotlight/black-blood-private-tryout/
-
These people who get into these clans tend to have some cool stuff and certainly have the ability to animate, but it’s sad to see them go into the clans and for their potential to be washed down the drain because these clans accept them then keep em busy making the same entries to collabs which carry no difference from every other collab out there. Rather than contributing to making a movie or series which brings depth to thes OCs, we get a collab of these OCs killing 20 stickfigures or just beating up one over an over again. I really hope these clans get their act together soon. It’s like they try to do something different, but they don’t try enough and you end up with lacking story just tossed into a collab.

http://sticknodes.com/animation-spotlights/Jotaro vs Dio (Teaser) by {Elite}Zackthelightningツ
Haven’t been that impressed with the jojo week spotlights. Doubt this will be any different.
http://sticknodes.com/spotlight/jotaro-vs-dio-teaser/Warp_ Short Clip – ‘A Traitor’ by X-Ray Anims
This Warp thing looks promising. Very few people put effort into their series in all aspects. Uniqueness isn’t very common, but this looks like it has that uniqueness we all need from SN animators.

Almost at the end of the Jojo stuff. And pretty close to the end of the spotlights. Then we gotta backtrack and get people to vote on the animations still not rated.
Dio Vs Kakyoin by Cloudy 1
Cloudy 1…. He has a lot of DBZ animations and they haven’t quite impressed me. Not sure if he’s the same as Black Animator, but I hope this is different.
http://sticknodes.com/spotlight/dio-vs-kakyoin/JOJO FAN ANIMATION 7 PAGES MUDA by ByFanox productions
Thumnail looking traced. This has me concerned. But I wouldn’t be suprised if someone did that with Jojo as well.

JOJO Project 2 by Ricebubs
I know nothing about this. Can’t comment. This looks like a series though and it concerns me.
http://sticknodes.com/spotlight/jojo-project-2/Torture dance by Ian Anims
Didn’t we already see a parody of this?

DIO vs Jotaro: Road Roller Scene by Ricebubs
I know nothing about Jojo, but I know my expectations will be high for this one as it is a scene recreation.
http://sticknodes.com/spotlight/dio-vs-jotaro-road-roller-scene/Bloody Stream but it’s sticknode users by Milky Murderer
I can say something about this one though. It’s a another parody that I will probably enjoy.

as a fairly recent addition to the jojo fanbase, i can say both of these animations were fairly good. the roadroller scene does of course lack the incredible visual effects and facial expression the anime has that add so much to the scene. bloody stream does a very good job of recreating the opening but there are some sections i could see improvements in. overall an 8.5 or even 9/10 for me
2020-09-07 18:39:47 UTC -
Aw dang this one wasn’t one of my best haha
