Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Purgatory (Animated Short)]

So this was made back in... 1846? :P Entertaining short, though when that cat pops up at the end there the Gnome seems somewhat surprised... like he's not sure if he can take on the cat or not, like he wonders if the cat had any part on his purgatory, like he doesn't know into which world he just entered... trying to figure out what his expression tells, but considering he just went through hell maybe any fraction would be a natural reaction! Love the idea, and the fluent movement with the animation too. Mood builds up nicely.

The original story was that the garden cats had created this purgatory for him. However as we ran out of time before our hand in at university, that last shot didn't really get the attention it needed so it doesn't really tell the story as we planned. Thank you for commenting.

[Hamster Pants]

The day the hamsters turn to capitalism! XD Nice also. Also really digging that live action hamster outro... stopmotion style? Nice work!

[Nova Advert]

Such a wonderful, imaginative short... the bright and ambient music in the background really brings you in to his world too! Really smooth work, and then the ending... it seems like a commercial for... a turtle?! The name made it seem like something else, but apart from that little disassociation: the adventure's just fantastic.

[Trampoline]

Wondering if this might be the best sketch yet... almost seems like the more violent it gets the more entertaining! XD Rock solid entertainment with puns that really bounce around, though do hope there's some pretty heavy exaggeration involved!

[The Concert : Foamy The Squirrel]

Was hoping this would be like those old sessions where Foamy actually sings! Turned it wasn't so but... entertaining sketch.

[Pmation: "Hiccup in Arms"]

Can relate. XD Usually helps to breath out and THEN hold your breath though, course these guys are doing it all wrong! Another shorter-than-usual but entertaining little sketch.

[Scooby's Government conspiracy]

Was starting to think that sounded a lot like Game Grumps... but hey, a stream I didn't know about! :D They got the voice impressions spot on. Entertaining short (and stylish intro, oldskool).

shibasquish responds:

Thanks! And yeah,I was pretty amazed too when they just whipped these impressions out during the stream since these guys never did any other kinds of impressions before

[Animation Showreel]

Seems like more still imagery than animation for the most part, mainly head movements and partial motions... I feel like it'd benefit from some more movement, motion to match the music, even if the drawings do look pretty good! Maybe in another year! :)

[Autumn Tree]

This really brings a new side to the story... the characters behind the chaos. Not so much their reasons (though they list them on paper it doesn't really seem to say the whole truth) as their personalities, and all that led up to that one event... it feels sad not so much because of how it turned, as we already know it did, but because of how it all could have been if only they chose another path... or if someone intervened before it all went down. Makes you wonder if it COULD have gone differently though, or if they were as heavily influenced by games and movies as they seem to be; used their circumstances as an excuse to do what they did... seems so unreal. Still so unfathomable that someone would do what they did because of the reasons they state, and especially when they seemed to have friends, when they knew each other, when people knew them... either way this was an an unexpected kind of glimpse into their lives. Feels... melancholy. Falling leaves. The title suits it well.

The realm of angels really wasn't how I envisioned it! Beasts and beauty all in one... and fierce battle! I like the sketchy style, and the motion/action. It really flows well. Not always all too detailed, but always fluent and vibrant with life and viciousness. If there's any one thing to improve I'm thinking the main character looks a bit... simple. Not only when in motion, but with facial close-ups and such too. Otherwise this was great. Action all the way, myth, and a moody atmosphere.
