Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Campfire]

Haha, this just might be my favorite of the year! Definately a favorite so far. It took a while to get the fire started, but once it is started there's no stopping it. Great work on the fluid stopmotion, and the scenery, especially the fire and lighting effects. The boy looks more like a man with his well-grooved face, but age doesn't make a different. What a hear-warming story, a real flash of fire. Great work1

MackProductions responds:

Thank you! Yes alot of people joke how he actually looks like an old man. I used liquid-latex for his skin, and when applying it, it created the bumpy texture. The hands I dipped in the latex instead, so they were smoother.

[The People Who Came]

The average computer has a speed of 356MB memory huh... times sure do change! Took a while before I figured out how to play the movie (some more obvious play button would've been nice) but once I did... woah, there's a lot of work put into this! Nice mixture of drawings and regular animation, all fluent and atmospheric. Would've been cool with a bigger resolution for this kind of detail, but it's nice. The wind blowing in the clothing, the movement, the DBZ-ish moves combined with normal people, plenty of action... it's great! Looks like real moves too. Keep it going!

XtremelyVenomous responds:

AWE ... this one has gotten so old ..... in fact all my work has gotten old now ... but thanks for coming back here. :)

[Balgar - 06 "Help Dancho"]

Wonder a commercial like that would work in real life.... and though it's a fun short, it's a sad truth, here they're handing out ipads for free in schools, everybody has one! If someone doesn't... O_o Keep up the good work!

NedelchoBogdanov responds:

Thanks all of you!

[The Podunkton Anthem]

Haha, well that was random! The song turned out surprisingly catchy, the voice acting's just great, as is the fluent animation, and it moves at such a pace there's not even a remote possibility of boredom. Fun run!

Cycon responds:

I'm glad you liked it, we had trouble getting the right energy since we're reinventing it, but the positive feedback keeps me alive! Thanks! lol

[Shitty Shorts #1]

I'm looking forward to more of these! I wouldn't mind a lack of animated shitstain, but apart from that these are all great, first one would've made more sense if the guy was literally blown away though, as it is it seems like... he might still shoot the dog. :/ Keep it going!

MisterHerbal responds:

Thanks for your awesome feedback as always cd. :) you cracked me up with the ''lack of animated shitstain'' hahaha. You're also right on the first one. It could have had a better execution with the guy.

[Playin' with my Pianist]

Awesomely creative showcase of all but shitty animation or piano play, though the last one did get pretty chaotic. :D Mixture of real filming and animated effects is genius, need to start watching more of these. I wonder if the hand-drawn paintings are yours as well, and if they were made specifically for this animation? Seems like a lot of effort and time went into those... as with everything else. Keep up the great work!

intestines responds:

All those paintings I used are part of my school portfolio, I just put them in the film cus i thought they would be fun(and it sure as hell was!). I started animating about 2 weeks before the deadline, so i kinda had to work hard on it lolz.

Thanks for your review!

[[LL] Assassins]

What a twist, what an unexpected end to such a majestic journey! Great to see the LL makes it into the New Year too, keep it going!

SavvyOverDog responds:

You know it!

[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!

-cd-

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.
