Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mustard Hat]

Oh well, that was crazy! :D Love the darkening effect at the start, really atmospheric combined with the sound effect. Was that done with a flashlight? Overall it's quick and crazy, and smooth claymation. Random and entertaining. Keep it going!

[TH'Crusader Adventures]

The sttle of music makes me think of Samurai Champloo, and there are certainly some similar styles in the animation as well, though there's definately no samurai. At first I thought the animation was realistic and fresh but for most part of the animation, there really isn't much animation, mostly still images. They're still all detailed though, and towards the end the animation gains new motion. I like the gritty style, sketchy and raw, even though some elements are a bit unpolished. Nice work!

Thanks for the critique. 5 months of juggling responsibilitieis and skills. I'm still developing my understanding of upload efficiency with this Flash.

I seen Samaurai Champloo...you are absolutely right in that it has it's own intention for character. Something in it for anybody, any walk of life, any sexual orientation (note: I have videos I edited that have a similar editing style...I have had this style before knowing about anybody else doing this, even Samarai Champloo'). Though both of us have a Wally Wood influence in some of the grafflic rendering, I will admit that. I prefer coitus hentai on mine.

[Mr. Happy Face]

Woah, that's just mental. All the mmmmmh sounds when Mr. Smiley is cutting up the people almost makes the murder more necrophylia than just... well whatever that is. The combination of a happy face and murder is bizarre, but still, this is the kind of creative craziness NG is all about! :P Nice.

[Kirby Return To DreamLand]

I haven't played the game, so I didn't expect to fully understand this one, but the introduction does a good job of explaining the little you need to know about the main characters. It's a pretty unique style in how the sceneries aren't actually animated byt rather transitioned, with text instead of voicing. It works well together with the music though, and I suppose voicing would've disrupted that beautiful melody. Overall it's a really bright and happy animation, and the sceneries in particular look great, i guess that's one pro of still backgrounds rather than animation. Keep it going!

[Friends]

Nice. I was kind of expecting that twist at the end, but it was still pretty eerie when Albert walked up and left. Nice work on the animation and creativg the atmosphere. Even though it all takes place in just one room, it's captivating the whole time. Still a lot of unanswered questions at the end, but it seems the most important one does get answered. Nice work!

[Pokeball Z]

Hahahaaa, this doesn't just combine two of the greatest and most parodied series ever, but also really delivers a solid dosage of laughter. Great animation, voice acting, and a surprisingly hilarious plot despite the randomness. Also, never noticed the similarities bhetween Jynx and Mr. Popo, interesting. Keep up the good work!

[BIZARRE ADVENTURE TIME]

I have no idea what's being said, but the animation was awesome, smooth, sketchy and resilliant. One thing to add might be a Replay button at the end, but apart from that, it's just perfect. Keep it going!

[Arthur & Abbey 3: FanMail]

Welll that was a bizarre fanmail episode, and only one fanmail? I wonder if it's a rel fanmail or a made up one, hmmm. More like hatemail, but anyway, it was a great episode, witty and intense. Shame we don't get a change of locale at the end though. Keep it going!

[Fairly OddFortress]

Never again? I certainly hope you reconsider, it was awesome! Not sure if I would have noticed a difference between 24fps and 30fps, but it looked great, fluent, varied, musical. It's not so long an animation, but well done, keep it going!

[Vampire's Crown]

Man that nametag was foreboding, hah, what an awesome animation! Not only is the style pretty much movie-screen professional, but the plot is just genius. Theren's not a word said the entire time, but it still manages to convey the plot perfectly. Great build-up of atmosphere and expectation, great animation, great everything! Looking forward to more like this!
