Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Record of Dragon Burial 2]

Soo there's a third episode on route, too? :) If so I really can't wait for that. This was awesome. The style brings me back to the Xin era, but everything else about it's so much more refined, even has some almost Shamurai-Champloo-like music to match the setting. Creative fighting! And with finesse, too. Wonder if I'd seen the first episode too... time to backtrack!

[Jar of Pickles]

Whaaat happened there?! XD I thought this would be about the pickles. Random bird pops up and then eh... then it all ends in red! Love the build-up but wish it would've ended with some kind of clarity!

[Cyborgs (In Space)]

Imaginative, uplifting and fun... until that ending! Really kept the tension for a while there. I really like the style in this. Simple, vector-based, but smooth and so full of detail. It really morphs with the music too, and as for the music: it started catchy, and I like the theme (as scary as the cybernetic future is, too) but the autotune... it gets a bit much! I feel like if the song was a bit smoother this would've just been perfect. Animation's really a whole new level.

[Prison of the Clairvoyant]

So the plan's to keep a continual story going throughout the themes and jams? That's an interesting idea. I really like this, the clarity and style of the animation in particular, though as for what's really going on here... not so sure about that! If she's wondering around in a dream, or another world, and if only that last phase is the dream, or all of it, and she wakes up first at the end... or: if it's deeper than that. Guess I'll stay tuned! I am intrigued.

[Madness vengation 2]

Not a lethal head wound huh. :) Do wonder if these guys have the same kind of anatomy as normal people hmm, they seem to survive the worst things... good action, and I appreciate the detail with stuff like posters in the background, though that name to the left's kinda distracting! Maybe have a smaller watermark somewhere? Keep it going!

[Grievous]

So via that other door he'd just run into the window hmm... truly a grievous ending! With how random it all started I wasn't thinking it could take such a serious twist, but I like the creative take on the jam idea. A dream gone bad, rather than just a bad dream. The pace is great, the animation fluent, the style both suitable and creatively interesting. Not so long, but feels thorough.

CyanSandwich responds:

Thanks! I wanted to make it longer (time restraints (my own fault)), but I'm glad you found it thorough.

[This Is A Quiet Place – Multiplex 10]

Looks like everyone needs a quiet place after all. XD They just don't know it yet...

-cd-

[Soccer Coach]

Seems like there may be better occupations or hobbies to choose between. XD Entertaining glimpse into the world of soccer coaching... or at least: for this one particular age. Good stuff.

-cd-

[Bad Dream]

Life's like a game, huh. :) Just keep going; starting over. Over and over. I like the style - reminds me a bit of Samurai Champloo, and the music... that ending though. XD Ah well: deadline accomplished? Nice work.

-cd-

RannitX responds:

Thanks! I think setting hard deadlines helps me actually finish stuff so i'm starting to line them. I work way to slow when I have all the time in the world lol. seems like the only time i finish stuff is when i go this has to be done tonight. Still need to get that work ethic tho but i'm glad i was able to finish something. :)

[3AM]

Definitely managed a pretty creepy vibe here! My earliest memory's also related to a living room, and a bad dream... but that's pretty much where the similarities end. Could've been something for this jam hmm. Wonder if this opportunity ever comes again... anyway this turned out good, and holy shit so many people involved in the rendering process! O_O How did you get that many people aboard on so short notice? How mutual rendering even work? Short bits, or... actually never mind I checked out the site. What an awesome service.

Lol yeah SheepIt was an absolute lifesaver in this situation. If I rendered this myself I wouldn't even be done 10 seconds of the animation if I would've begun last night!
