Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

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 :)

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!

[The Psychic Club]

Haha, that'd be a club to join! :D Nice pun; nice comeback at the end there. Keep it going!

-cd-

[Ooga Booga Boys]

Haha, the trials and tribulations of a small isolated tribe! Good fun. I like the creative art style, the gradients on their nose/eyebrow-type-segments, looks good! Nice tribal music, voice acting and a flimsy script. Keep it going!

-cd-

[Batman: I Never Use Guns]

lmao, so that's how the franchise ends... makes me kinda glad I haven't played that game yet. Masterfully animated pun on the gun want front though. Also, a lot of detail in both sceneries and characters. Nice work!

-cd-

[awkward]

Ah yeah, those so seemingly similar situations! That pop up pretty much every other day and cause intense afterthought yet probably don't ever actually mean as much as they seem to. Nicely animated!

-cd-

[LIAR - Animal Afflictions]

lmao, another awesome episode of random animal trvia, presented in an excrutiatingly entertaining way! :D Nice work.

[Peepers]

For a moment there I thought he was going to try using something else for payment. :P Entertaining, creative story of a crazy critter whome I think the name for isn't the most obvious fit. I kept imagining him as a 'creeper', creeping around, you know... not really peeping as much as actually literally taking over. Anyway, nice work!
