Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dead End Job]

Hey, this is a tru 48 hour masterpiece! 48 hours... I wonder how many of those 48 hours you were actually busy animating this? Though, three people on the team'd make it a bit easier I guess. It's not just a coherent storyline, with some great animation and voice acting, it's got plenty of entertaining details (that Game Over screen, the hovering caps, the strange character design, the varied personalities) and a clever title too. Fun; brutal; intense!

mukpuddy responds:

Yeah it was tough going... we handed in the film with 11 minutes to spare. Technically we animated it in about 24hours, the rest was spent writing, storyboarding, voicing, editing etc. Could have done with about 10 more people, haha ;)

[Floonstoon's Visiter...]

Oh, it's a real cereal! Wasn't expecting that. Real creative, and at times pretty freaky, mesh of characters and eventful randomness. And Cena saves the day of courtse! :D Nice work.

YULFO83 responds:

Thanks bud! :D

[Yasuo vs Zed Animation]

This was a real cool battle, though what's with all the darkness towards the end, over a full minute of pure black? Is that intentional? Battle animation was slick, but could be even more fluent, maybe with different angles and close-ups, of faces for example? Sound effects and speech were the real strengths here. Nice work!

SilentChimaru responds:

I messed up the ending,sorry about that.Yeah I noticed after the animation was done that I had the same angles over and over again.Thank's for the feedback!

[Yup.]

Looks like a Goomba version of the grim reaper! Creepy; atmospheric, and... with a meaning? Pretty nice idea making an animation based off an artwork. Nice work!

Thanks cyberdevil!

[The Very Best]

Hah, the truthful workings of the Pokemon world! :D Was fun to see the modern interface used for once btw, I think most of the parodies (if not all) I've watched earlier used the Gold/Silver generation interface, or earlier. Voices were a bit low overall, but voicing otherwise great, as was the intensity of that battle. Nice work!

ieJoMaFLo responds:

Thanks! I was thinking about using the original but it seemed kind of dull and colorless compared to this one. And yea, I really got to work on the audio end of things for next time because this one has been a real pain.

[Journey of a Fly]

I like animations like this that follow a form of logic in their loop. The sketchy animation's pretty fly and atmospheric, it's short, simple; eternal! With a deeper symbolism if you'd like it to have one. Nice work.

ClockworkPixel responds:

Thank youvery much

[A Rivalry]

Hah, it's a dogs life! This was nicely done, feelgood and expressive, with a little Scooby Doo episode smack in the middle. Somehow didn't feel like the song reallt 'matched' the animation, in terms of what was going on, though it had the right atmosphere. Cute, entertaining; with a twist at the end. Nice work!

Cameron-Ohara responds:

Thank you for the detailed feedback! Haha, glad someone appreciated the Scooby-Doo~ :)

[Nites Episode 1]

For a first animation this is all but iffy! Wouldn't have thought it was if you didn't mention it. I like the lineless style of art on the scenery, with the characters the man focus, and plenty of detail in the surroundings. That bird was a simple element of fun, and after that it's mostly atmospheric and somewhat plotless until... wait, there's no end! Feels like there could've been a more optimal place to split this, if the continuation is coming up next, that scene with the fort at night, wouldn't that be better at the start of an episode than the end of it? After the bars close a 'to be continued' would've fit nicely, even though if feels the characters haven't been introduced so much yet that we really know what's going on or have any reason to contemplate their fates in wait for the next, hoping it'll pick up plot soon! The visual/audial part of it's great though.

Extellus responds:

You're right. :) I'm going to make the next episode a bit longer with more introduction to the world they live in and their personalities as well. :)
