Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[VS: The Breaking Dead]

After that catchy chip-tune accompanied pixel intro I thought it'd be a videogame parody animation, but turns into somewhat of a slow rant instead. Idea's good, but I can't say I'm captivated by the discussion, feels like it moves a bit too slow, with plenty of satire but not so much comical effect. Keep it going though!

Thanks for the input!

[The School Toilets]

lol, whole grain seems like a real dangerous thing! And schools nowadays... just aren't how they used to be! Like, five years ago hmm... pretty entertaining sketch though! I don't really relate to the situation, but it feels easy to live into it anyway. Animation's all clean and fitting. Nice work!

Ehronaut responds:

Thanks for the comment and criticism :D

[Captain Toad]

Would probably have felt more sympathetic towards the main character had the enemies acted more like enemies, not like needless casulaties, minding their own business and peacefuly co-existing until the vicious Toad pops up in the picture! It's an impressive show of slick FBF animation though. ! I like the diamond bite - Chuck Norris level of toughness detail, and that girl appears outta nowhere (wonder who does the voice acting hmm). Was a fun watch overall!

Thanks for your review! The voice acting for toadette was all done by Cawatoons. At this point, I don't make an animation unless she has a voice in it. She's very easy to work with and crazy talented.

[noir animation - beneath]

Seems like this could be a prelude for something! At first the animation style/mood reminded me a bit of Afro Ninja. It moved more to noir as it went along, but the voice felt out of place - maybe too bold and badass for the flashbacks I'm used to in criminal drama. I like the gritty style and atmosphere, it tells a good story, but in the end... it's just started! What happens next?

Joenu responds:

Maybe it is a prelude. I've planned to make several animations taking place in this "world" - but with different protagonists.

[Animation movie "Paper cl]

Anoher really interesting stopmotion project! Don't think I've seen anything made with wiring and paperclips earlier. Again I like the play with light, the moody music in the background, the symbolic gestures... though I can't say the analogy you drew was clear to me before I read the description, guess it's hard conveying something specific with such abstract motives. :) Stopmotion felt a hit unnecesarily jumpy on some scenes, but overall it was great! Nice artistry.

larit responds:

It is my first experience in this sphere therefore in some moments dampness, thanks!

[Animation movie "Victim"]

That description's almost too abstract! Watching the stopmotion, I was thinking it'd be a symbolism on birth, the struggle and sacrifice of bringing forth new life... didn't get that sense of destruction or bombing either, just a sense of hardship, and those self-igniting matches were a really cool effect, further expanded with claymation. Overall very smooth and moody animation, the music a large part of that atmosphere. Doesn't seem to deliver the message it's supposed to, but it was great! Always curious about how many photos work like this takes btw, any estimate? Keep up the great work!

larit responds:

I will consider your remarks and I will continue to work, thanks, and in general if I had more opportunities that I would realize this picture more clearly, but I will try to improvise.
