Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Family Portrait]

Whaa... he doesn't even keep that cellphone? :O It all made perfect sense right up till the end there. Nicely animated but I can't help feeling sorry for that other couple, animation style reminds me of Gorillaz a bit. Nice work!

[The Noob Adventures Episode 23]

Woo, another great episode! Exciting, diverse, with good sound; dialog; smooth animation, and a tension that just keeps rising. Nice work!

[Mobile]

Typo in importat! ;) The animation was nice, I like the detail in especially the architecture, though some things could use some more realism, like: how about making the window(s) seem transparent, the shoes fall at a faster pace, etc. The idea was good, emotional at first and then... I was expecting some kind of serious ending, lmao, but you get to laugh at the poor guys misery! It is a little wake up call on cellphones though, on how much some people rely on them. Personally, I rely on my PC, would have a harder time living without that. Nice work!

[I just like Joey Greco.]

lol, what an ending! The buzzer part was definately my favorite part though, the animation before it went haywire with what appears to be dialog fetched straight from the movies (interesting idea) was the best part, the twist interesting but not so much entertaining. Nice work!

[The Artist and the Canvas]

Interesting approach in having that scrapped material fly out of the window rather than into a trashbin. :D Turned out there was a purpose for it all! Real nice work.

['Sprouting Frog Waves']

Hah, froggy fresh! :D You really have an interesting style of animation, seems like I recognize that it is you who makes the animation via the style rather than the username, which is real neat. Most artists nowadays seem to be going with the same one, that exaggeratedly cartoony and obvious, but this ones subtle and creative all the same, with a dwarfed sort of form for each characters, and squiggly; rounded forms when possible. I did like the sound, both the ambiance and the symbolized lack of it, twas a fun trip!

Butzbo responds:

Thank you CD, it's great to know the style of characters it's becoming recognizable :).

[NATA2014: Space-Boy]

Oh, it's a prequel! I actually thought it was the other way around, that life after that 'incident' took a twist for the worst... now that you mention it, it all makes sense though. I think both animation and voice acting work great, though the animation isn't as artsy as it was in the first one, not with as clashing and abstract colors (I miss that a bit). I didn't recognize the dotted texture as comic emulation intent, but it did work well! Backgrounds too. I can't say I really pay attention to background audio, but if I don't notice it, that probably means it's good. White noise and unsuitable silence stands out easily. Nice work! This is almost becoming like a series now... I'm hoping there might be an end to this trilogy, a grand finale where all is made better! (even if that's made outside of NATA). Nice work!

Whirlguy responds:

I too really liked the coloring from the space flash. The earth's surface however, wasn't very great in its colors. I covered it up with gradients and I think that saved it. My animation received 65 points last time. Oryozema's was the 2nd best with 148 points I think? In an attempt to bridge the gap, I decided on an actual script, the use of voice actors (to prevent confusion like last time), and a different coloring approach (without changing the actual pallette). Once all of the linework was finished though, I figured each frame would take ages for me to color in photoshop, so I dropped that plan. Luckily so! The way it is now feels like a gradual transition into something new. Hence the credits, which were made to look like the first flash :)

[Guardian from strangers]

Well that didn't go as expected! The who's right and wrong and good and bad certainly takes a twist towards the end, nice fluidity and detail in the animation, and it seems to work nicely without lip-sync too, though it's easier when some characters have their mouths hidden behind masks. Great work!

Cenaf responds:

Thanks. Yeah, i found out that cutting out lip sync has best time saving compared to quality loss. Yet that really would liven up some scenes.

[Pocket Protectors #1]

lmao, what an awesome idea for a series. I was thinking the superheroes of the series would be somewhat more powerful critters though, even if it does seem they are at an advantage towards the end there... the part I liked most about this was the introduction. Great music, clever lyrics and presentations... it's just awesome! The 'ruler' seems like the natural born leader though, not that other one. :P Looking forward to the next one!
