Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Markiplier - Psycosis]

So... this isn't actually a parody on gaming videos but actually... a tribute? If you didn't say so, I wouldn't believe it, but it was hilarious watching nevertheless. Great work on expressions especially. I was thinking the game was RE, since there are plenty of similar elements, but it looks like it's not. Nice work though, keep it going!

[Voyaging the Void]

Refreshingly harmonious randomness, even with that berserk little space critter there was barely any violence at all... even though the plot was bizarrely grim and drudgeful. I'm wondering, do you do lip sync first and then rotate the character as he speaks, drifting through space, or is everything actually drawn upside down? Nice animation, nice plot, nice voicing, keep it going!

Brewster responds:

Thanks! Figuring out how to do the rotating lip sync was kind of a challenge. I had to make it so that the movement of the actual character was in a symbol which I later tweened to rotate. Then I had to do the lip sync so I brought a duplicate of the character animation symbol (which was stationary) onto the stage and animated the mouths that way. Then I just copied and pasted the frames into the symbol so when I went back to the rotating one the mouths were rotating with it. It seems like the obvious route, and there was probably an easier way to do it, but for some reason that took me a while to figure out.

[Lisa Killed Off Simpsons]

Half of the scene in this are like seperate artworks, how long does it take to make all the characters so brutally outlined, their skin hue so yellow and glistening, the action so refined and fluent? Though I don't watch the Spimsons much, and have little to relate to in the plot, the animation itself is just awesome. Congrats on the frontpoop; keep it going!

[Don't Touch Pac-Man]

This is just awesome. The combination of oldskool Pacman anume and classy RicePirate style is just perfect. I thought the grand Pac was going to eat that little ghost at first, but alas, it was not so. It was his fate to meet the grim reaper in the form of an endless vortex of anguish and pain. :/ I wonder if I inspired this? Hmm, I'll keep dreaming. :) Love the musical Pacman Remix at the end, and the fact that there's an NG Supporter ad right at the end, which I assume is actually linked to something in the YT variant of this. That's the most awesome part, great to see great artists supporting the community. Looking forward to the next masterpiece!

[Turtle Issues]

Aw man, what a poor turtle. With thos dog.. err, turtle eys, you just can't help but sympathize with him, and then... lol. Short but sweet, and refresingly emotional. Nice work!

[Skitzo-Too Hot to Handle]

Well that was unexpected! I should probably have been more prepared from the title, but it was still a bizarre surprise. It's nice how the rest of the movie is in black and white, so that final scene is such a big contrast with the flowing red, the blood and grime and grittiness. Overally the animation is fluent in good ol Disney style, and the music fits the age-appearance. Nice work!

Comick responds:

Thanks a lot for the well written review! Glad you enjoyed the short and haha yeah Skitzo does sometimes take people by surprise! Hopefully you like more of whats to come....

[Retarded Animal Babies 9]

It's just as sick and twisted as I remember it. :) Just a little something awesome! Tqisted idea, smooth animation and in the end... justice. Congrats on the ten year anniversary! I'll keep a lookout in 2023!

[Dovahbear 3]

Looks like a new series I must follow. The combination of fantasy realism (eating a snout) works well, the animation is fluent ant detailed and the fact that the main character is a apparently depressed and not very lucky bear just adds to the action. There's plenty of action too. Even though I wish this was longer it was a great watch. Nice work!
