Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Austin Talks: Episode 8 (The Legendary Florida man)]

Heeey I think I spotted RAMUSH in the midst of this! :D Also nice but(s).

The story itself: entertaining as always, and this time it also feels almost unrealistically crazy. Must've been pretty unreal finding yourself in such a situation... or not, considering you do live where you live and seem to know all about how crazy a place to live that place is, but nevertheless: made for quite a story!

Feeling like some of the imagery flickers past faster than you can catch it (not just the butts), but overall good fun! Appreciate these.

AustinJayCook responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed bother, yeah I lived in Florida my whole life before moving to California, it was one hell of an experience!

I'm getting a little better with timing believe me I'm gonna start pacing myself a little more :)

[PRESS START!]

It's not a perfect loop after all but... it's okay! It's alright. Certain other qualities of animation and character showcase do redeem this one particular shortcoming that could've otherwise perfected this particular potentially-greatest-introductory-start-menu-sequence-in-a-game-ever intro. If ever a Chutney game does come to be... well, I'd love to play a game like that. Fo rizzle. A game with all these guys in it to boot, that'd be pretty cool, a little platformer craze based on the greatly accomplishing traits of collecting loot, avoiding swinging axes, thundering hoofs and all sorts of excess ladders and chutes? Maybe we could fundraise something to make the idea more than moot? Just an idea Chute(ny).

Anyway I love this. Always an honor to be a part of it.

ChutneyGlaze responds:

you made my life with this comment!

[The best compliment I've ever recieved]

Those brownies hmm, don't think you did them the right way. XD Been eating those for years at this point... pretty much the best gluten-free recipe I've stumbled upon thus far. Just: lots of chocolate. Good stuff otherwise, but missed the mark a bit with that bit IMO.

-cd-

BobTheGodly responds:

Well did you make yours with real sugar because having a brownie taste like diet soda is terrible. Not to mention sugar melts and caramelizes making things tasty. Splenda tastes like splenda even in the fires of hell. And as for the chocolate, it was cocoa powder, no cocoa butter, no sugar. Just bad decisions and shame.

[Jesus is my Roommate]

I wouldn't mind watching more of these. XD Though, there's only so far you can go without Jesus actually changing his ways hmm... or meeting more people to do the same things too... well, maybe there's some opportunity for walking on water and making it rain fish and such stuff too. Do like the idea.

Jonimator responds:

Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed :) We've actually got 11 episodes currently drafted (though whether or not they'll all come to fruition is anyone's guess!)

[Brick with Ear: Salami Holes]

So random. XD I ear ya. Good stuff. Was thinking the animation wavered a bit too fast at first, but I guess you get used to it. Or the style really works the more abstract it gets. Tis a trip.

StephenHutchins responds:

Glad you enjoyed it! New episode drops tomorrow

[Black Hole: Viraemia by Adívolah]

The tension shifts between the different scenes are pretty perceptible, from the dialog, to the bits of motion, with more people looking on... I like the detail level with everything here, the keys, the shelves, everything falling. Item amounts are limited but everything really feels alive with how it moves, and how you mix the motions with still drawings with even more life, building up the setting with brooding color, darkness and always a sense of motion in the scenes. Black speech bubbles didn't seem as relevant at the start, but it goes well with the theme... sometimes they seem to push their way into the picture in a strange way though.

As for the plot... dark! Really darker than I expected. When the old man comes along I wonder at first if he might be God, but it appears he's just an old man, waiting for the inevitable end without actually taking a stance against it. It feels like both a bit of wisdom and bad advice: to not try to change that which awaits just because someone tells you it's certain. I feel you should always do everything you can. Until the end. But: very moody animation... and with a message too.

Adivolah13 responds:

Thanks for your comment, mate.
I'm flattered.
I always try to improve my animation skills, composittion, framing, etc

I wanted to make a positive story with "dark make up", i hope you know what i mean with that.
It's okey to try your best and don't give up, but sometimes we need to accept the things that are out of our control and be okey with it.
Leting things go is important and part of growing up.

That's what i think today, probably tomorrow i'll change my mind.

[Sketchy Sam]

Hey thank you for the special thanks! Realized I had this bookmarked... been a while. Twas a fun little adventure once again, though does end on a pretty sudden note... sequel hopes. Simple fun. Animation could be a bit more detailed, but sound effects at least are really on point. Not bad at all.

-cd-

stevetherapper responds:

You’re welcome! I was 10, but thanks for the review. So far, I’ve made progress with animation, and throughout the years I’m getting better at lip syncing, although it’s still a bit hard. But thanks! I will work on a sequel, after I finish Valor’s World 7.

[Lava Fire]

Though the water cube seemed a bit more elaborate and complex this was really cool too. Definitely relaxing. So smooth details too, with the shadow around the flame flowing like water from it. Any more of these on route?

-cd-

k7vin responds:

nothing with this kind of vibe i'm afraid, but def more super short form entertainment/ storytelling

[Hotel Mario Reanimated Clip 39]

Do wonder how this'll all fit into the bigger picture. XD Short but looking good... it's almost like Mario and Luigi as kids. Looking real youthful.

-cd-

cosmicpopstar responds:

thanks! i was trying to go for the mario rpg style but i dont think i pulled it off to well.

[COUNTERSPELL]

Feels like it's missing some kind of crisis there, but not bad! Entertaining entertainment all the way. Curious about what game sprites this might've used back in the day?

zachdewd responds:

Oh they hired an artist to make completely original sprites and designs to work with.
