Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Inevitable]

That grind, day after day after day... even if you don't get the sense all that much time passes before he's caught in it. Maybe a bit longer a build?

When the darkness creeps up on the guy (the purple being - if that's his symbol or no) the animation felt a bit choppy, but when he wakes up in his... dreams (?) it's a whole other world! So smooth in comparison. The quality feels a bit inconsistent like that, but also like you get better as you go.

I can't say I really understand what happened though. I thought he was falling victim to something but... then he gets up and feels great? Who was that purple guy? Sickness? A dream eater...? And how does he overcome him?

I feel like it could be clearer, but otherwise it's not bad.

BrimBlam responds:

You basically hit/gave the perfect critique. I was really pressed for time and couldnt polish this like I wanted and ended up cutting a ton of scenes out. It still did better than expected though. I appreciate the words <3

[The Past]

So unusual finding something with subs where I can actually (mostly) understand the language being spoken. :) Really cool. Subs don't always stand out that well on lighter backgrounds, though.

As for the story, voicing, animation, everything: I really like it. It's smooth, detailed, unsuspectingly expressive sometimes (like with the widening eyes), with solid voice work and effects... and when you add in the color... really is a religious moment. Making everything without color from the start it really strikes you when it appears. Do wish it would've ended in a more finite way somehow too but... it was a beautiful as it was.

PACvideos responds:

Thank you so much!

[LIP HEADS: ROCK BAND]

Somehow the audience doesn't agree with their mastery. It doesn't compute. As soon as those unforgettable melodies crossed their lips I knew they were destined for greatness... alas, people just don't understand real music these days.

GoodL responds:

This is so sad, can we get reborn in the right generation?

[Madness vengation 3]

Not bad! It's got the right sound, and action, and story too. Some of the actions could be more immediate - they don't always have the best reaction times, or movements that seem unrealistically slow, but otherwise all solid. Also feels like the zoom is a bit too close in on the characters - you rarely really get an overview of the scenery, or larger scale fights. Good fun though overall! Looking forward to more.

Missing the sound a bit with this one, but as for the artistry: all good. Always a pleasure to follow the process.

[Heavy Sketchy - Epic Gold Digger Prank]

Well that was unexpected! Good fun with the car and all but... almost went a bit too fart at the end there.

BigCronch responds:

haha thanks for watching!!

[In Sickness]

Well that was both disturbing and sweet at the same time... felt like the sickness wasn't really expressed as well as it could've been in those first phases, we never really saw what it was, or how serious it was, but when it moves on origins start to lack meaning, and all that matters is keeping the love alive, no matter what... definitely not a romance for the faint of heart. But that was art.Forever together, and never a part.

melsnoodles responds:

You got a real good point there!! We decided to leave the illness a bit more open to interpretation to focus on the interactions instead, as we couldn't find a graceful way to explain it in detail, but as long as the main idea gets across we consider ourselves pleased!! thank you for the comment and for bringing that up!

[Ariela Timelapse Color]

Didn't realize you'd started posting speedpaints too! Always intriguing to see the behind the scenes, and impressive when you realize how much detail really goes into certain parts of it. Though it does seem way more detail goes into some parts over others. ;) Great work, and great to follow, think I'll be tuning into some more of these too...
