Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DBZ - Proctology Academy]

Oh man, this is just... genius! :D I'm not expecting a sequel, but I wouldn't mind one anyway. There are so many more characters that could be thrown into the mix to be parodied, especially that pervy old turtle master I-forget-his-name. I'm surprised he didn't make an appearance already, but maybe that would just be too cliche. The voice acting, especially the eternal grunts, really add a lot of DBZ nostalgia, and the flying somersault or whatever that is = awesome. This has got to be one of the best April submissions this year. Nice work!

thanks!

[TH'Crusader Adventures]

The sttle of music makes me think of Samurai Champloo, and there are certainly some similar styles in the animation as well, though there's definately no samurai. At first I thought the animation was realistic and fresh but for most part of the animation, there really isn't much animation, mostly still images. They're still all detailed though, and towards the end the animation gains new motion. I like the gritty style, sketchy and raw, even though some elements are a bit unpolished. Nice work!

Thanks for the critique. 5 months of juggling responsibilitieis and skills. I'm still developing my understanding of upload efficiency with this Flash.

I seen Samaurai Champloo...you are absolutely right in that it has it's own intention for character. Something in it for anybody, any walk of life, any sexual orientation (note: I have videos I edited that have a similar editing style...I have had this style before knowing about anybody else doing this, even Samarai Champloo'). Though both of us have a Wally Wood influence in some of the grafflic rendering, I will admit that. I prefer coitus hentai on mine.

[Wet Willy]

Hah, I was expecting some kind of pool pun as soon as his name was called out, but not this! It's a both bizarre and entertaining short. The style of animation is pretty interesting too, bit different from the usual. Keep it up!

Gerkinman responds:

Thanks mate, im really trying to seperate myself from most other animators out there.

[The Ultimate DOOM Burger]

Hah, anything with Doom in it = awesomeness. :D I don't think I've seen any comedy mixed in with Doom before. It's a... refreshing experience! :D The curser is in the way a bit, but apart from that, nice work!

SamuraiClinton responds:

Finally somebody appreciates this.

Its too bad people expect to see machinimas made with ACS code in ZDoom, instead of post-production editing with screen-capturing of live gameplay. I feel that I get a better story in proportion to the production time when not using ACS script. Because so what if the story is not quite as good without ACS, its more about ratios and proportions when dealing with somebody who is under resource contraints.

[Viva La Vida Mario]

It's with a more lifelike view of the SMB universe. After a while Mario still goes on a killing spree, but overall it's a refreshingly peaceful animation. The music fits great, and all the characters helping out. Next word Earth? Haha, that's awesome! Wasn't expecting that end. :) Keep it going!

Thank you so much! Btw your games rock :D

[Motion Graphics Explainer]

Can't help but feel this commercial is too cheesy, just like a regular commercial. You could take that as a compliment though since I really don't like most commercials for the same reason. :) I appreicate this for the graphical work, which is smooth and symbolic, and goes well with the text, but that background melody, the arguments to make me buy the product, it's just... too cheesy. I wouldn't buy it HSYK. The voice also sounds a bit stiff and strained, but as for the graphical presentation, that part is great, stylish and effectual. Keep it going!

GnomeSlice responds:

Hey, thanks for watching.

The whole idea was to make it look as professional as possible; I was trying to emulate the sort of ads you see out there right now (Google 'Simple Story Videos', brilliant local studio to me). I'm pretty pleased with my graphical presentation, but I think the script and some of the audio could definitely be improved.

Anyway, thanks again!
