Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Slush Invaders Duel]

Love the music! It feels especially inspiring when the characters start getting shot up... though I was expecting them to attack the armed sticks rather than just keep fighting (glad to see that happening later on at least). Great battle overall, full of spectacular effects and plenty of comedy in the mix, and the expressions add a lot. The swirling eyes, the determination, the carnage at the end... one of the best stickmations I've seen in a long time. It's just not great action, it's like a music video, follows the entire track; ends appropriately. How long did this take to make? Keep up the great work!

[Moolt - Armenian Parents]

Even though I have no Armenian parents this is strangly easy to relate to, I guess 'parents are the same no matter time no place, they don't understand that us kids are going to make some mistakes. So to all other kids all across the land, there's no need to argue, parents just don't understand!' :P Great collection of parental shorts!

[Star Trek Joke]

Haha, I was expecting something complete un-understandable here that only someone who's actually seen the series would get. I'm surprised though, it cracked me up! Keep it going.

[Trap]

Short, speechless, but still awesome work! The sketchy style works well with the dusty coloring, the wind blowing in the background, the characters frozen in battle, a chase, a twist, a somewhat surprisingly harmonious ending. Nice work!

[Jiggly Tits]

Whaaa... no jiggly tits? Not even a Pokemon parody? A parody of a Pokemon parody, hmm, I was expecting less.. just something bouncy and sensual. :P Turned out to be a different form of entertainment though, but it's all good, props for random and unexpected! :)

[Positive Thinking]

Ah, what a beautiful scene! :D the secret to true happiness is just that: positivity, doesn't matter where you end up in life. Good animation; great moral!

[Joe24]

Man... that spinning head transition is just hilarious. :D Couldv'e been an entire animation with just that, an endless loop! Turns into an even more hilarious endless loop though, simple idea, but oh so genius. Keep it going!

[Homesick]

I'm not really sure what happened here, she recieved a message (which I couldn't read :/), saw a cat, saw a person... and that's all? Then it ends? The animation is great, not always so smooth but with realistic angles and outlines, I like the ending music and the added screen but it feels a bit incomplete somehow. Lack of plot maybe, lack of purpose? The atmosphere is nice otherwise, it just feels like it's trying to say something and I'm not getting it. Keep it going

TheSin responds:

Thank you for your input! You can visit my youtube channel and watch in a bigger screen and pause it to read the text message if you want there. It was just a pilot to test my animation skill and see if people liked the concept for a full series. Working on a full first episode now. ;)

[Snow Hare]

Beautiful, and tragic all the same. Until the darkness manifested into a crow and flew away, like it was easing his burden, I was thinking it was just his shedding skin before the summer... and wondering what that had to do with anything? Turned it was a more metaphorical form of darkness consuming him. The backgrounds are beautifully drawn, the animation fluent, and the soundtrack subtle enough to just enforce the story without becoming a main focus. Flawless work!

ShawnBranden responds:

Thank you! I love the score the composer came up with aswell. We talked a lot about what it should sound like and what would be good for the story. Once Nate got that down I left him to his magic and he along with the CSU Long Beach orchestra came back with stunning piece of music. I actually got to watch the orchestra in the recording room which was a beautiful experience I will never forget.
