Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Call of J'rsy Cthulhu]

Interesting idea making an animation of a classic story. So far it's not bad, though for audio you might want to invest in a pop filter (or use the economic variant: a sock and a wire hanger). Feels like it could be clearer and better articulated to, good narration is key when the audio seems to be the main part of the project. Looking forward to seeing how it develops!

Thanks. I made this for a film festival about urban legends last year. If I got more requests, I might finish the other two chapters.
As for the audio I use the snowball mic, it's pretty highly recommended but I suppose I could use some mixing expertise that comes with practice.
Thanks again for the review

[Space Wars]

Is that... a sublimminal 666 reference in the form of chest hair on that main character? :O Feels like this could've been better. The transitions aren't bad, but graphics on the other hand are sketchy, with unnecesarily thick lines, little detail (light, shading, etc) and slow transitions in animation. No lip sync either, even if some characters don't have lips to sync so they could be some saved effort drawing. Keep it going!

[Miscrits Legends - EP 005]

Graphically, it's not bad. Dialog isn't bad either but... there sure is a lot of it! Wasn't as fast-paced as I hoped it'd be, but might be just this one episode? Keep it going!

[Toons These Days: Ep 50]

A short; concrete Shezow summary! One more thing the show has going for it btw: a catchy title. Sounds a lot like an anime that just started airing, hmm... Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei Bu Love! it's called. Congrats on 50 eps!

Don't think I'd have understood the prison break unless I'd read the description, that part's not in the animation at all. Other than that, it remains consistent even without speech, tells a tale of people, and crime, and ends... sadly but, in a good way, kinda. The animation's impressive, though certain motions, like the walking, feels a bit choppy. I like the bright; sunny atmosphere all the way through. Nice work!

[Caterpie's evolution]

That went fast! :D A seamless transitions between the three stages! Thought it'd just be the first one. Animated Pokemon evolutions hmm, could be an interesting idea for a series! Short, but definately worth watching. Nice work!

[Recalling The Real Mario]

Haha the Yoshi interviews were the best. XD Coincidentially also the more audiable segments. The voice acting's great, but the recording quality not so much... would've really made a huge different if you could get some better recording equipment! Animation's pretty jumpy/sketchy too, but good audio at least would make a huge difference, I like the humor. Keep it going!

[Ball- Sprakle the Unicorn]

lmao, that's one powerful kick! Love the clash between the warm/friendly narration, character art, overall mood - and what really happens. Nice one.

[Bowser's Gambling Night]

Interesting way of making an interactive comic, though it really would've been easier to navigate if the entire page fit on a regular 1280x1024 screen (still higher than the average resolution). I guess scrolling does give a sense of reading the comic manually, but in digital form such external interactivity just doesn't seem to have the same merit. Comic was good though!

The-Cloaked-One responds:

I could shape future comics differently. :D I thought about shrinking the comic down on completion, but I felt it did my work more justice to leave the panels as large as they were. Thanks for the feedback! ! I've got another one planned for this summer, as I said a bit ago, I might shift the panels so it's three panels across and only two rows deep to fit 1280 x 1024. I'll have to experiment to see how it looks, could work excellently.

[Azir: Emperor to Remember]

Hmm, one of those parodies where you'd have to play the game to get the joke, I guess? Well-animated it was, but pun I'm not getting. :/
