Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Just The Tips #3]

lmao, the solution to all problems! :D Wonder what movie/ad/whatever that footage was edited from? Because surely... it wasn't made exclusively for this one cartoon was it? O_o Fits right in! I see no edges or anything. Keep it going!

Starktoons responds:

Thanks man! Yeah search green screen Jean Claude Van damme in youtube. You'll see lots of clips to have fun with.

[Benana]

Haha, this was just bananas! What a crazy collection of captivating rants and random reference. Nice.

[Stuck in the Void: Ep 1]

Haha, this could've been an 'important mission' for NATA! What a crazy mixture of characters - great audio, great visuals, pretty smooth effects with the ship shaking, with the voice beaming out of the speakers, resonating through space for an eternity of days... I was thinking the captain was either about to kill himself or jump into some form of escape pod and blast by the window while they were sitting here, this was a... despairing ending. O_o

cburdett responds:

That means a lot, thank you. We have 5 more episodes planned so keep an eye out for us!

[LL- Kids' Show]

Woo, it's Lock Day and it shows! Great show, with an overdose of sound and cray jokes. Keep it going!

[Dawn and Dusk]

A story that makes a new form of sense of the days and nights; turning of our world. The detailed backgrounds are real nice, dragons seem a bit simple above it but the gradients work well. Script is masterfully written! I was wondering if it'd manage to sound as wise as that ancient Asian music playing in the background seems to force it to be, but it did, mostly. Don't think the eclipse had to be explained though, just displayed. Anyway, nice work! It's an inspiring take on... life!

Yugimations responds:

Thank you very much. Its good to get well thought out comments like yours. Its funny because, this animation was supposed to be 10xs more simple than it is now. Backgrounds and detail was only supposed to be minimal, kinda even like if it was "flat". I do wish I could have had a better narrator other than myself, but time was of the essence for this project. I greatly appreciate your comment.

[Luigimail- Episode 3]

The most intense Luigimail episode yet! Awesome battle!

-cd-

[The Mission]

Haha, crazy. The mission was somewhat predicatable as soon as the 'Arcade' popped up in the background, but what was that bomb doing there? And doesn't snapping a neck kill someone? And who is this increidble agent of obsession and horrifying hoarding?! Nice work. Really detailed backgrounds too.

[Door to Door]

I was starting to think about these two Jehova's Witness dudes who came knocking on my door a couple of days back, thinking how their job really must be pretty ungrateful and harsh, and all voluntary after all... and then the blood starts seeping under the door, lmao... what a twist! It's stylishly morbid too, slickly animated, colorful, with some neat typography at the end there. Mission complete!

['Save the Sock']

A happy; creative short! I recognize (and like) the style, that jittery thickly out-lined critter kingdom where all is possible and even the background is a living breathing world of its own.

Feels like that eye reaching out, grabbing the sock, and morphing into a sock ball kinda went over the top a bit. The portal; mystery of the missing sock seemed to follow some kind of strange logic after all, as did the creatures, but the main character morphing however he likes (a magic eye? super powered socks?) was just strange, man! Would've liked a more 'natural' ending better, I think... either way it was a fun watch. Keep it going!

Butzbo responds:

I have to agree In a way with that last bit, I was halfway through the short, and I had to make a plan to "solve" the plot with the smallest amount of animation possible, which led to some overly-absurd circumstances. I'm still happy with the results and how it certainly doesn't take itself too seriously, but hopefully next time the story won't be as erratic (unless there's a proper reason, of course).
Thanks a lot for the review!
