Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

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!

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.

[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!

-cd-

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!
