Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Jade The Nightmare - Curb Stomp (MUSIC VIDEO)]

A pretty gritty music video! Nightmarish music and real nightmarish visuals to go with it, though really not sure what either animation or music is all about, what message it's trying to convey here... something about the dark side within man? Well done though.

MHR-cartoon responds:

You got damn right!
Thank you ;)

[Zany Bunny - Big deal]

That is one trippy bunny! XD The movement's just so excessive and awesome. So fun to look at. Seems overly much work to make but great viewing pleasure so why not! Fun little short, even if the carrots seem almost too red to be carrots. I thought the twist was they'd be chili peppers instead.

[Chemistry Set]

That dad must have known some truths about that mysterious blue composition some others didn't... maybe he'd stained a fair share of driveways with blue in his days too hmm... didn't end the way I thought it would at all, which was... a pleasant surprise. Peaceful resolutions. Harmless entertainment. Hot dogs! Well told. And yeah I do think I had one of those too, though no idea what I did with it...

[EVOLUTION.fla]

Unexpected twist at the end! Though it does end pretty... abruptly. Until that point smooth and just like Madness should be though. Good start.
