Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Quest for A Quest - E01]

Looks like something's about to happen with that fire! XD I like how this evolved since the last one. Can't remember the trees shaking in the beginning - that was a great addition if it is one, and it moves on well after the 'intro'. Plenty of wit, well-scripted dialog, bummer about that little creature but... hey he's alive after all! :D Looking forward to the next episode.

[Regret Cat: Coffee]

Our ever-increasing rate of media consumption seems to have an effect on the ever-increasing rate of media as well. XD When it's this fast though... you just have to loop it a few times to really get the breadth of it. Well done. The combination of narrative style, animation, jazzy background music, the clouds drifting in the coffee.. it all fits somehow.

[For The Love of Broccoli]

This series is starting to make violence seem so... fun! :D In the most morbid of ways! Great claymation as always, though the sound seems to ebb out at unexpected moments. Also, realized what these characters were reminding me of: Parasyte (Migi in particular)! Could it be there's some unintentional inspiration there? Nice backstory either way. :)

[Madness Conclusion]

Double ending, nice. :) Feels like 'Conclusive' after the 'Madness' almost makes it seem like it's an official ending, of sorts, bit misleadingly epic title but... a good short. Random Battle Royale with that typical Madness vibe. Smooth animation; good fight!

Kenamy responds:

oh, yea, Conclusion wasn't supposed to mean about the madness series at all, but a simple "event" that lasted for around half a year, This video is a undirect reply of it and making fun of it.

[The Surprise Demise Of Francis Cooper's Mother]

I feel like I might have seen this before... the narration reminds of Keith Reynolds or Peter Peele (could be it's the combination of that as well as earlier teaser imagery that makes it feel familiar)... either way it was as well-presented as always, with that trademark tragedy within the comedy, the bizarre and overly violent... but all amounting to some form of cynical wisdom when it all amounts! Such is life. And this was an interesting style to animate it in, too, feel like it works great for the most part, but the motion-tween moment when the eyes open/close does feel a bit strange, as round eyes don't just squeeze together like so... maybe that'll be your new trademark though. ;) Good stuff.

[Balloon Head Fred]

A random but awesome old classic! XD I remember this from the old days. Great stuff.

[Ellie Sings Creep by Radiohead]

You can hear a bit of the guitar in the background, at least... the song works well without, maybe even better like this than with, though the guitar in the animation feels somewhat misplaced with that in mind.

This was beautiful though. Such a simple thing but full of feeling, and the fire crackles ambivalently in back.

[How To Lose Weight]

Well that was fun. :) So basically workout a ton! And drink a lot while you're at it. Stay hydrated on healthy habits.Good message, and good fun, and I'm curious: what program do you use to animate stuff like this?

Bingleheimer responds:

Thanks :) I appreciate the feedback. I used Cinema4d for the 3d animation, After Effects for compositing, and Ableton Live/Audition for the audio work.
