Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Effects Demo Reel 2015]

An impressive showcase of creativity and color! Nice effects, nice variation in styles and projects. It's not that long, but it does showcase plenty of different styles, though sticks might not be the most professional. As for the intro, one with more than a title/email would've been neat, feels like that's something you can leave for the end, when the viewer is either interested or not. Keep it going!

[The Noob Adventures Episode 27]

Another intriguing episode of this series! An inticing adventure as always, keep it going!

[reminded of my Weight]

Very nicely done, stylisticly minimal, nice contrasts between the light and dark, realistic shapes, beautiful music and a profound message to back it all up. Stylish all the way till the credits, nice work!

[Mark-Fu]

A slick and captivatingly spoofy Kung Fu short! Nice work.

[Starbomb - Inky's Lament]

Since I've seen other animations based on this song already, it kinda feels less original each time I see it, even if the ideas aren't all the same. The trip outside the arcade machine was a nice twist at the end, and yet I get expectations on this based upon the others I've watched, like how there's no visible lip sync/movement to match the vocals (which, if this was the first animation I'd seen of the ghosts, might seem natural considering they have no mouth), or that none of the other characters are present when they're heard, especially towards the end when they all warn Inky. Pacman seems to appear at random intervals too, not just at suitable pauses in the music, the animation doesn't always follow the music overall. But, animation wasn't bad. Would be great with original audio as well, but if that's not possible, maybe some more obscure parody music that hasn't been animated yet? Keep it going!

EpicSaveRoom responds:

I thought of making this after seeing the other pacman videos and I included a mouth on inky in the first scene but decided to not do it. The other videos were very literal with the ghosts running from pacman and singing together and there wasn't an explanation for why Inky was soo excited at the end, he was just shown standing there singing about his 'moment of triumph' but nothing was different than any other day, so I had the game falling apart so he thought he had a chance. I also don't like pacman having teeth like everyone does, just a personal thing. I wanted to do a lot different that I hadn't seen, color changing walls, ghosts always being transparent and ghosting through each other, trying to make Inky sad with eyes instead of his mouth. Scene changes instead of always them being chased. I don't expect to catch up to the video that has 140,000 views so why not be different. Also, this is literally my first animation, I learned how to use the program I bought then made this immediately after. Thanks for your input, maybe I'll make an updated version at some point, but I'm moving on to some Game Grumps animated and a few more Starbomb songs that don't have videos yet.

[Charmander Cant Cope]

Didn't really catch what they said at the end there, something something Charizard? Animation's not bad, but the voicing's recorded in a bit low quality/clarity. Keep it going!

[Clearly Invisible]

Haha, potions have their downsides! And upsides, 1000 feet up. Nice short!

WaldFlieger responds:

Haha thanks!

[ScribbleFights]

It loops nicely! The animation's swift, nice motions and character sketches, like a mixture of stick figures and Madness. Now all it needs is some length! :D As for the song, if you add the song in the first frame (and make it loop), and have the last frame redirect back to the second frame, you could keep the music loop independent from the animation. Didn't get to see this with the music, but everything's better with music. Keep it going!

Democane responds:

Woah that's super helpful, thanks a lot! Hopefully I remember to go back and fix this after I'm done with the cartoon I'm currently working on

[Judge Dredd: Superfiend]

It's a full fledged full feature movie featuring one oif my favorite and most hardcore hero's of all time! The story feels familiar, like I've read it before in comic form, but it was all nicely done. Very well done animation, voicing; everything. It's an honor to have work of this caliber on NG. Great work!
