Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[ZTV News Episode N]

That sprite adaption of Zone-tan is just perfect, you even managed to capture those glistening eyes. As with the regular Zone News episodes there's plenty of comedy in this, with the retro style of dialog (no voice) it's just... funnier than the original? Nah, I'm probably just getting some kind of nostalgicly innovative vibes from this. Great work though, something this elaborate for April seems like a treat. Looking forward to next year!

Pienkaito responds:

My, thank you.
I don't know what I should do next year, but I have time.

Thanks for the review.

[CoCo Toon]

Hah, so random, and the goat was fun. :D Best part of this is probably the close-up of the hair and the wild fight that ensues. Great expressions, fluid animation and plenty of randomness. Nice work!

YULFO83 responds:

Thanks so much dude! Really means a lot to me.

[That's So Gay!]

The idea is just genius, but it feels like there's more potential for this. It ends at the right place, but it's gotta be missing something when I don't really get to laughing, sound effects maybe? Everybody looking at the guy who phrased the final words? I don't know, but it feels like the joke's wasted when nobody within the animation understands it. keep working on it!

dogsinthecathouse responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I don't know, I kind of have a possible idea for it where I have some other scenes following this scene, so maybe it will work better like that. But maybe some of your ideas would be fun to experiment with too. I'll have to try a couple different things out and see what works. Glad you liked it though! :)

[Save Energy & Don't Read]

Pure logic. Reading definately requires quite the mental energy and effort, hah. Unexpected end though, just a... moral message rather than an animated finale. Nice work on doing all those voices yourself btw, the characters do sound diferent, keep it going!

Yusuf responds:

Actually, it was voiced by SnakeYukin, but he hasn't accepted the project invite yet.

[Qumi-Qumi "The Fishing"]

Hey, another episode! I wasn't expecting another one this soon, maybe there are even more stashed away, just waiting to be submitted? Great animation, great sound (and as always it's great how nothing actually needs to said for you to understand what's going on)... yeah, great everything. Keep it going!

-cd-

Toonbox responds:

Yes, you are right. We have finished 9 episodes already. We will publish all of them. They all made with flash, and this site is the best place to submit our films )))

[tankmen christmas]

With Tankment any Christmas gets brutal. Nice voice acting, nice animation and nice work on twisting up the plot. It fights right in with the rest of the series. Merry Belated Christmas!

-cd-

Horsenwelles responds:

jesus you are so many years belated

[TANKMEN: Target Practice]

Nice. The style of animation is pretty similar to the original, especially the closeups. The tank logo used as a tank is a grainy though, and the backgrounds not always so refined, but overall it's an entertaining short. And Cosby? Well that was random. :D Keep it going!

fadedshadow responds:

yeah dude, it's not really THAT great but i animated this like 7 years ago lol

[Voyaging the Void]

Refreshingly harmonious randomness, even with that berserk little space critter there was barely any violence at all... even though the plot was bizarrely grim and drudgeful. I'm wondering, do you do lip sync first and then rotate the character as he speaks, drifting through space, or is everything actually drawn upside down? Nice animation, nice plot, nice voicing, keep it going!

-cd-

Brewster responds:

Thanks! Figuring out how to do the rotating lip sync was kind of a challenge. I had to make it so that the movement of the actual character was in a symbol which I later tweened to rotate. Then I had to do the lip sync so I brought a duplicate of the character animation symbol (which was stationary) onto the stage and animated the mouths that way. Then I just copied and pasted the frames into the symbol so when I went back to the rotating one the mouths were rotating with it. It seems like the obvious route, and there was probably an easier way to do it, but for some reason that took me a while to figure out.
