Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Turtle Crosses The Street]

lmao, one of those movies that fits entirely in its trailer. :D Awesome way of enforcing the action, with the music, with the background video footage, the effects, the intensity in that turtles gaze... it's a real hardcore trip over the road! Nice work.

Comick responds:

YES! haha im glad you caught in to that :) I cant stand when the put the whole movie in the trailer cuz then there is no reason to go see it! I suppose in this case it was a good thing though since all the best parts are already there for the taking and the film is never happening haha. Yeah that music was just too good it gave me a whole river of ideas for this haha. Thanks man!

[Bank Robbery]

lmao, a little Life of Pi reference? Was a fun sketch, but that final recorded really clipped! Recording quality could use some improvement. Keep it going!

amuezy responds:

Ironically, this was a unit on Voice Acting. Where we were being marked specifically on Audio quality and our voice acting; the two things I spent the least amount of time on.

[Yasuo Tales: Prologue]

Beautiful prologue! I get sucked into the story right away, even though it's not entirely clear what it's all about. The fluidity of the fighting is masterful, and the narrative goes well with it. Looking forward to the grand premiere of what seems to be a series!

Shho responds:

Thanks a ton!

[Adventures of Clem & Sam]

Huh, wasn't expecting that ending! A bloody surprise! Animated; narrated masterfuly, and with some definite shock value at the end there. Nice work!

TheGradontron responds:

Thanks for the love, voice provided by a friend of mine whose never done acting before, but she took to it beautifully.

[Shieldmaiden 2014 teaser 2]

lol, a quick trailer indeed! Animationwise it shows a lot of promise, in terms of everything else... there isn't much to show so far. Looking forward to it!

PiratePudding responds:

Glad you like the animation! I'm getting the first part of the movie done as fat as I can, promise!

['Sprouting Frog Waves']

Hah, froggy fresh! :D You really have an interesting style of animation, seems like I recognize that it is you who makes the animation via the style rather than the username, which is real neat. Most artists nowadays seem to be going with the same one, that exaggeratedly cartoony and obvious, but this ones subtle and creative all the same, with a dwarfed sort of form for each characters, and squiggly; rounded forms when possible. I did like the sound, both the ambiance and the symbolized lack of it, twas a fun trip!

Butzbo responds:

Thank you CD, it's great to know the style of characters it's becoming recognizable :).

[NATA2014: Space-Boy]

Oh, it's a prequel! I actually thought it was the other way around, that life after that 'incident' took a twist for the worst... now that you mention it, it all makes sense though. I think both animation and voice acting work great, though the animation isn't as artsy as it was in the first one, not with as clashing and abstract colors (I miss that a bit). I didn't recognize the dotted texture as comic emulation intent, but it did work well! Backgrounds too. I can't say I really pay attention to background audio, but if I don't notice it, that probably means it's good. White noise and unsuitable silence stands out easily. Nice work! This is almost becoming like a series now... I'm hoping there might be an end to this trilogy, a grand finale where all is made better! (even if that's made outside of NATA). Nice work!

Whirlguy responds:

I too really liked the coloring from the space flash. The earth's surface however, wasn't very great in its colors. I covered it up with gradients and I think that saved it. My animation received 65 points last time. Oryozema's was the 2nd best with 148 points I think? In an attempt to bridge the gap, I decided on an actual script, the use of voice actors (to prevent confusion like last time), and a different coloring approach (without changing the actual pallette). Once all of the linework was finished though, I figured each frame would take ages for me to color in photoshop, so I dropped that plan. Luckily so! The way it is now feels like a gradual transition into something new. Hence the credits, which were made to look like the first flash :)
