Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[EarthBound Forward (1up)]

So eh... not that I have any idea what's going on, but maybe that's the point, fast-forwarding through a series of already explored events that might've made more sense to a viewer if they'd actually seen them prior to watching it. Either way the pixel work/voice acting is great, just feels a bit plotless to an outside. Keep it going!

Yoshi-1up responds:

It's EarthBound. A toon EarthBound Fans. That's all you need to know!

[Shattered Heaven Ep. 2]

Another awesome series I need to follow! Thats a vast cast, some of the voice acts feel a bit imbalanced, but as far as the story goes, it's interesting. I first I thought the battles were real, but then I guess they're just simulations. So, is it a slice of life series with training the main part, or are things soon about to spiral out of control? Looking forward to the continuation!

AdamTilford responds:

Glad you enjoyed it. It's only "slice of life" early on. Pretty much only the first 2 episodes then it shifts focus elsewhere. This year, with the scheduled episodes to be produced, it's going to be a dramatic one.

[Ragnarok Parody]

lol, so the moral of the story is... don't play the game? Seems like a great dismotivator! Smooth animation, mighty music (though something more original would be cool), plenty of violence... just not a real punchline, just a punch. :P Keep it going!

cassetevoador responds:

thanks for the comment! I'm bad in audio

[Grape]

Awesome experiment! It's not like the traditional FBF animations out there, not only in how the color's a choice of the user, but in how there's plenty of tweens and transitions mixed in, and I'm unsure if some of these effects are programmed particle effects or if it's all frame by frame? Also wondering, to use these different colors, is only the background color changed, and everything else is black? And is it changed through actionscript or is each color a seperate sequence of frames? That'd be interesting to know, overall this was a fun experience, varied, long, with ambient music and empowering motion, full of force. Keep it going!

BryanV responds:

Thank you! Everything's made with Flash. The particles were done frame by frame (which was a very fun experience for me ). Initially, everything would be black and white. I then placed a colored movie clip on top of everything and gave it a blend mode of Multiply which pretty much turns everything white into the color of the movieclip.

[AV: The Plague Saga pt 1]

Surely a lot's going to go wrong... looking forward to those magic lessons!

Another good episode, and the start of what seems to be a pretty entertaining story. The switch from serious to comical was pretty quick at the start, a devastating plague is spreading... time to gather supplies! :D Smooth animation, good voicing, a bit unbalanced drawings (like how that one potion vial looks awesome... I wonder why that one vial is so incredulously detailed?), but the lack of detail's always been one of the strengths with this series: allows for a larger story. Keep it going!

MistyE responds:

thanks for the review. and yeah i did spend a lot of time on that one potion vial lmao

[Two Anglophiles]

The beginning reminds me a bit of Weebl's animation, same style of both graphics and accenting, smooth and aristocrastic. Wasn't expecting the end though, that random conversation seemed like the traditional batch of fun. So... how much did SpecSavers sponsor this for? :P Great work!

Shufflehound responds:

One million grand, a private continent and my very own space shuttle if you must know.
Thanks for the kind words!

[Clockmas Collab 2013]

lmao, took a while before the mature rating was merited. Nice sketches, nice mixture of regular animation and real imagery... even some videos in the mix, and a nice mixture of styles too, Some of the scenes are all but half-assed. Fun watch!

-cd-

Pop-Tart responds:

Thanks, homie!

[R-Evolution v1.2]

Fluid FBF animation; plenty of creativity. Wonder why the creatures all die before morphing into the next one, but apart from that strange phenomena (it still looks pretty cool though) it's a fun evolutionary programme. Would be even more awesome if the scenery changed along with the critters. Keep it going!

-cd-

MisterHerbal responds:

Thanks cd :) Happy holidays!

[GGA- The Ash Men]

So much laughter, lmao. Twas an entertaining sketch on some of the more sketchy characters of the superhero world. Great animation to back up the audio, simple yet perfectly synced, with some pretty fitting transitions. I think some things could use thinner outlines, like the background items where they're sitting, and maybe backgrounds for some of the other scenes. Anyway, keep it going!

-cd-

PompousSloth responds:

I really appreciate the fully fleshed-out review. I chose thicker lines because they're easier to control and animate but they do limit the complexity a little, so they're good for amateurs like me. In my next animation I'll look into diminishing the thickness of my lines. Thank you very much for watching and commenting :D

[Baby's + Gun's]

Well that was... random. If there's something more than randomness to this, I'm not getting it! Animation is good though, and great preloader music.

thanks :)
