Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Hanger]

Looks like he's just waiting for a bird in that final scene... in such a cool breeze, love how it sways! Sunshine and summer sensations coming through...the overall sketch was short but entertaining, not spectacular, but I really like the animation and voicing. Feels unusually polished. This could become something!

[Vikings]

Hey, a fellow Swede! :D Gotta love the theme, and part from that the animation's great, simple but smooth - with gradient backgrounds that sometimes seem an unnaturally detailed contrast. It's all easy to follow and fun to watch, though the music... feels a bit strange. Experimental like the genre. It's uplifting music, but at the same time it really doesn't feel like anything that'd relate to 'Vikings'. I'd picture something a bit more fast-paced and ferocious, or pompous, or Norse... basically just something very different. It doesn't sound like your traditional intro music either, which maybe breaks the impression of this as an intro. It feels more like a teaser, or prelude, until that final traditional trademark splash. :)

Would love to see more Vikings, though! Nice work. And interesting read on the process behind it.

Skogur responds:

Tackar! Didn't think there were that many Swedes around here. ^^

It stated off as an intro but then as we dragged out some scenes and put in sound effects it sort of turned into a different thing as just as you mentioned. The music got a bit more, um playful? than I first had imagined. I told my friend who was in charge of it (who really hasn't made that much stuff before this) to mimic the opening of an anime called "Slayers", which didn't turn out that great, so after that I just told her to make her own thing. I'd imagine the sound guys did a lot of trial and error just like I did.

Anyway, I'll see what I can come up with next time, and thank you for such a detailed review! It was really hard for me to put into words what was off with the music for example. ^^'

[Firewall Brawl]

Classy stick figure action at its best! :D So fluent; so full of ferocity and moves. The background's not left unscathed either. Everything plays a part. Everything breaks down but the main glitch and accompanying music. :) Great work, though with so much background imagery and character... feels like there could be some kind of story to this, too. It does gain one towards the end, but missing one at the start: shows the humble beginnings. Gotta love the unexpected end too. XD

[Chronicles in Space - Monkey Business]

Not sure what happened at the end there, just floating around in space... but until that point it was going pretty good! Entertaining. Also wonder who claimed that kingly title on that one planet hmm... nice work.

WhatdayRyan responds:

This video was made for YouTube, the floating at the end is when the subscribe and video suggestions would appear

[Pmation: "That Sinking Feeling"]

Expected end as soon as you see the new device... but still just perfect. :) Appreciate the length of this one too, seems to be back to the more suitable, conclusive scripts! Though how that water all drained away hmm... bit a missing piece there.

[Throwverwatch]

Thought therere'd be at least some kind of action there... it turned out more entertaining that I'd expected even with dialog only! And thus: this is why I do single player. XD Nicely done, voices too, though Doomfist is in a whole other level!

-cd-

[Mr. Southern Hospitality]

That beatbox be bumping! :D Love the vibe, pace and of course most of all: the lyrical entertainment with always relevant visual link. Especially the intro, looking through the glass, really cool effect. Solid work.

[Game Grumps Animated- Doki Doki Literature Club: Sad Sayori]

Well that was pretty entertaining. XD Smooth sketch, and an intro twist that gets you intrigued right away... nice one.

-cd-

TheDogtor responds:

Hehe! Thank you! :D

[Woman at the Wheel]

Very contra-expectations! XD Almost controversially unstereotypical, well... it is that one special day after all when such things might actually be socially acceptable. Nice one.

-cd-

[Pmation: "Cock-A-Doodle Dude"]

Well that was a nice twist. XD It's not really yet but... Happy Chinese New Year soon! Been feeling like these sketches are a bit too short lately, but this one really fit the length too.
