Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Line of Work Mission 2]

Unrolling the map... was that meant to sound like reloading a weapon? XD Odd but very satisfying choice of sound effect on that one part... overall the use of sound effects seems to have increased with this one, it definitely adds to the atmosphere, interesting effect to have them even during the planning stage when they're looking at the map.

And the music! It really adds so much to this. Keeps the atmosphere high throughout. Ominous, or chaotic, or just suitably ambient when need be... props @ChordC!

I liked the cloud effect when the camera zooms over to Hopkin's location too, how their more so lines during that transition, to reflect the speed, nice effect.

One effect that maybe didn't look as awesome though: the fire on the hood of the truck... maybe a little too dense? Or single color? Looked a little odd IMO, though at least you could see it was fire.

The overall action and story's great, Matt really shines in this one - towards the end at least, and Python's one bad-ass character! Entertaining dialog, good progression, it keeps you on your seat all the way through.

Awesome work. Can't wait for the next part now. :)

Heeey, look who's here!

Hehehe, you caught it already XD Yeah, it was weapon reload effect. I haven't seek much, so it could be bad choice of map unrolling :P About map thing, I'm thinking about skipping from sketched map to blueprints :P but hey, not now!

Thank @ChordC about musics. Now not only he's composing best tracks of we can ever listen, but he also helps me to straighten up my dialogues!

Hehehe, thank you!

Yeah, tell me about it... the fire figure usage was very suck, if you ask me... but it didn't seem too important to me that time... but it looked like 8-bit figure haha XD Hey, I'm still a Retro Video Gamer, to reference. You're right about fire.

Glad to hear your feedback on main protagonists! Now, I'm gonna add new character to Mission 3, just to introduce... let's see if you're gonna like him.

Don't be stranger, friend! We're working TOGETHER, any idea could help me improve myself, we're a team!

Stay focused, stay alive!

[I was robbed of a Beyblade championship]

Before Beyblades... there were regular spinning tops too! XD I remember those! We used to compete with 'em in school, they had tips you could replace, the metal ones were typically better than the plastic ones, the longer a string you had the more momentum, strategy was pretty simple but you still couldn't predict battle outcomes with common surface irregularities and what-not... interesting how Beyblade became such a huge thing just a couple years later...

Anyway this was fun. Calm pace yet not that long either. Concise and entertaining. Definitely hope you do more of these, your style works well for storytime.

[My second stop motion animation]

Could use a bit more pictures for smoothness, takes a lot to make seamless stopmotion, but good fun. :) Keep it up!

-cd-

[stick sonic speed]

This was surprisingly smooth... would be nice to see something longer though!

-cd-

[Fast fighting sprite animation]

That WAS fast! XD

Would be nice to see these included in some longer; more versatile fights... kind of comical to see them on their own like this but a little meaningless too. Hope to see more!

I will do more in the future!

[Home Alone: A Christmas Cartoon]

Genius. XD Starts off in classic Home Alone style, and in impeccable cartoon form too but... what a twist!

Imagine one of the actual movies abruptly just ending like this...

[Line of Work Mission 2 TEASER]

A cityscape in this one... the landscapes are evolving, the action looks promising, even if the trailer seems to show it in a somewhat fragmented/hesitant way sometimes, doesn't feel like the visual intensity follows the build in the audio maybe, but it looks good; sounds grand; gets you hyped for what's coming!

Looking forward to this.

[Pokémon Animated Short : Gym Leader Bea's Routine]

This was great. :) Great animation. Around ~9 seconds in the close-up's a little confusing - hard to know which body part's on show there - but overall so smooth!

A little sound would take this to the next level too...

-cd-

[1 | Number Lore]

Seems like the start of something pretty epic...

Wonder who'll win this won.

[Link VS Geldman]

Longer runtime so at least the audio doesn't have to loop hmm.

Also really nice, though short too. Nice texture work on the backgrounds...
