Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[LIGHT]

An inspiring session of existential spoken word, with suitable simplistic animation go with it! I like it. Leaves me in thought, mood uncertain, moved by word as curtain curves. Nice work!

P4DDDY responds:

Thank you :)

[JSE animated - Afro bomb]

lmao, nice twist at the end there. Dialog's hyper; hilarious, and the animation goes right with it. LEGO character parts was a nice touch too, and plenty of things to keep you entertained. Surprised this isn't getting a bigger response here, nice work!

izziedegans responds:

Thanks so much for that review, cd! Glad you found this entertaining. I was already working on my next animation, and this motivates me even more, thanks again.

[Graffiti-Doubtful]

One small dose grafitti, one big dose ascending cityscapes. :P A pretty unique idea, and it was fun watching, colorful, creative; with some occasional comedic result. Nice work!

LevaBoy responds:

Thanks for watching, I'm glad that you liked it.

[(Un)Lucky Night]

Haha, should just go around touching random people's boobs all the time, cause ya never know ya know. :P Fun stuff: simple in sketch but intently voiced. Though one thing it could really use: preloader. Thanks for the laugh!

BandoBoys responds:

Thanks for the review! Thanks for the preloader idea too!

[(notes on) biology]

What a masterpiece man! :D Love how the lecture just fades away and makes way for this creative mash-up... and though I've only seen this a few times now I can't spot any recycled pages either... are all these notebook pages unique? Are they actual notebook pages or is all text also part of the project? It'd make for an insane amount of Easter Eggs if it is!! And even if not, you can pause at any one moment and take part of whatever facts/trivia/randomly entertaining mumbjo jumbo is scribbled on the pages that pass. Seems like an intense amount of effort put into this. I love the transitions between live footage and stopmotion, how the hand appears to flip the pages when things start going in 'slow motion' just before the fall, the sounds, the music, the subtle comedy and lack of personaly identifiable faces that somehow makes it even easier to live into the production. Feels like this piece is still severely underrated here on NG right now, but hopefully it'll get the credit it's due with time! Fantastic work!

BCWiessner responds:

Thanks for the kind words, CD. We didn't cycle any of the pages. It is about 2000 individual pages. The animation was done first, then we had note taking parties where all the neighborhood teenagers would come over to hang out, listen to music, and take page after page of notes. Lots of song lyrics, inside jokes and a bunch of creative writing. So, you're right, lots of Easter eggs.

[Bad Dog!]

lmao, somewhere along that waiting phase I started expecting the bomb to drop. I'm equally disturbed and entertained. Animation/voice is great. Nice one!

-cd-

Donkeyhorse responds:

Haha, glad it entertained!

[YuGiOh VS Shobu [Parody]]

Love the little details, like the finger falling of, UNO card, stretchy arm... and sooo many random character references at the end there! Even Scooby Doo lmao. Oddly enough the main characters are the only ones I don't fully recognize, at least Shobu, YuGiOh's the visual representation of said series/game/cards everywhere. Overall a really fun mash up!

DeuxLab responds:

Thanks CyberDevil. Your comments are very helpful! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[Call of J'rsy Cthulhu]

Interesting idea making an animation of a classic story. So far it's not bad, though for audio you might want to invest in a pop filter (or use the economic variant: a sock and a wire hanger). Feels like it could be clearer and better articulated to, good narration is key when the audio seems to be the main part of the project. Looking forward to seeing how it develops!

animationaddict responds:

Thanks. I made this for a film festival about urban legends last year. If I got more requests, I might finish the other two chapters.
As for the audio I use the snowball mic, it's pretty highly recommended but I suppose I could use some mixing expertise that comes with practice.
Thanks again for the review
