Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Line of Work Mission 1 Part 2 TEASER]

This was pretty intense! :D

Does get you hyped for the real thing, which fortunately is out at the time I write this so I don't need to wait too long to see it... the transitions sync so well with the sound/music. Impressed with the lamp animation in particular too, how it sways around, casting light around the room as they fight, both natural and chaotic, reminds me a bit of Silent Hill...

Onto the real thing! Good stuff.

MATRVG responds:

Oowee, look who's here! Good to see you, man!

What you just saw, probably isn't even a start of whole saga ;) I can promise you that. Thank you for feedback.

Take care of yourself, don't be a stranger!

[EOFS - Genesis (Promo)]

Interesting! This really wasn't the story I'd expected, was thinking it'd be more so a massacre in the bedroom, and when the one guy started being suffocated that might've been the turning point of it all but... it really was a bible story. A somewhat truthful depiction of the events that transpire therein - with an unusual dose of gore compared to other similar reconstructions.

The pace is good, the visuals too, despite the common context it was surprisingly captivating as well... the character banter definitely adds a little to that too. Transitions between the room and the story-related visuals work well, and I recognize some of 'em from the individual art. :) Feels like you're in an inner circle somehow...

I am curious how things might change after this, if this is it, if it's a new kind of interpretation of the holy book, or if there's more to it? Do historical events somehow bridge over to the present eventually? Does it end with a twist? Is there a moral of the story when it's all over? Also curious what EOFS stands for?

Two things I think you could improve a bit:

1. Bigger/clearer subtitles. They might not need to be bigger, but would it be possible to export this with better video quality? As it is the text's a little blurry. Same with the animation itself, though not so important with precise edges there as it is with text/readability.

2. Female voices. XD It adds a comical tone when it's all male but... it'd really add a lot regardless. Maybe you can find some VA here on NG that'd be willing to join in?

Overall this was not at all what I expected, and yet more captivating than I expecting. Animation's good, the subtitles are good - appreciate the added note on for example religious phrase usage in Brazil too - the voicing's good too but kinda strange with the genders.

Good stuff here. Seems there's plenty more to get into... will give the longer ones a shot later on! Curious to see where this all leads.

TheMiamiDeSantos responds:

thanks! EOFS stands for "The Enchanted Ones from Santos" (Santos is a good city here in Brazil, I like to joke and say it's Miami in Brazil). It's an adult cartoon full of humour, social criticism, parodies and such (like Family Guy, South Park, Simpsons, etc). (Christian) religion will be one of the topics covered on the cartoon, as well politics and other society stuff, I did read all the bible and plan to combine some stuff of the christian religion with the cartoon (like the japaneses combine the japanese folklore stuff with their animes), as well other stuff like occultism, satanism, black magic, etc. There are some morals to the stories, i want to let the public thinks about it, but overall it's meant to be an adult cartoon like family guy, south park, etc.
Yeah, the subtitles will be clearer on the next eps, i got some comments about it already. I'm gonna see what i can do about the VA, the next ep will be released soon, it will have an alternative dub version with more people doing the VA i'm gonna see how it will come out.
Once again thanks for your review! And take your time! The other eps are a litle different than this one on many aspects so it will be a different experience for sure!

[Realistic Spacecraft Impact with an Asteroid Simulator]

Fersto sums it up pretty well I think. :) Without context there's little allure here, but when you do know the context... well it still feels pretty eventless. Even though you're headed right for the rock. Feels like having the original audio track in particular would add a whole new dimension to this, or any audio for that matter.

But I also wonder: when there's an original video that looks pretty much just like, I'm curious why you'd recreate the same thing exactly the same way? Seems like you'd want to enhance it somehow if you did; add your own spin to it. It really looks almost exactly the same.

Impressive replica but... not that captivating standalone.

-cd-

TheMiamiDeSantos responds:

yeah, i did saw this NASA video then thought i can recreate this. Then found a pic and did the animation took me about 40 minutes to make the replica, it's just meant to be a replica of the nasa video

[Droos San Andreas]

Hmm if I only understood what was being said here... I think when most of the audience here only has English as their native language it'd boost your views and ratings a bit if you had subtitles. ;)

I'm playing GTA San Andreas right now, wonder if this has anything to do with that, even after a few loops I'm just not sure...

DaniGrouds responds:

Ok lo voy mejorar

[Anvil]

I see it. :) Even if it doesn't pass judgement know that it was good fun! Might be good to weave in a little plotline, or have a title that's a bit more descriptive, but good start. Simple fun.

-cd-

GamerM12345 responds:

Thank you so much for the response, I’ve tried multiple time to make an animation but nobody ever see it(maybe because of how there’s not much to it. But if you looked at my YouTube, you will see a much better title. Don’t ask why I didn't go for that title on newgrounds.

[balloon in love]

Nicely done...

Not entirely sure if the sphere in the sky was the moon or more a dangerous alien life form though? The way it pulsates, and the distance doesn't seem right if it is the moon... though I assume it is. Seems like the intended punchline.

I like the idea but execution could be a bit clearer if that is it.

-cd-

OccultTooner responds:

thanks for the feedback. it is suppose to be the moon i just put it extremely close on purpose. the pulsating was a mistake but i wasnt going to re render it again xD

[My Newgrounds - Mabs]

Hope this trend catches on again after this! :D

Fun dose of nostalgia, and creative angle on the whole presentation. I keep waiting for a glimpse of your face though, at least for a second! Something integral's just missing without it! XD

Nicely done. May that fancount keep a rising; the content keep surprising!

-cd-

Mabelma responds:

Jijiji glad you enjoyed it! Yeah tried to keep it as close to the originals from back in the day. I’m not sure if there was any with face reveals but this was suprisingly fun and I might try more live action stuff in the future for sure. Face included.

[Mickey Naruto]

The sound effects and voice though lmao! XD

The movement's fluent, but those just add so much; somehow make it all the more a real thing. Abridging worlds there.

Great pacing too. Good stuff.

-cd-

astrong responds:

Thank You.

[OTB - The Derelict]

Oh gosh no lmao. XD What a twist at the end... you see a lot of houses that still have asbestos roofs over here, in more rural areas. Someday people finna have some problems there.

The detail levels in these are always off the charts but this one just might be the most detailed yet? From the holographic projections to interior glimpses to the the ship and lit city background itself: utmost impressive.

Atmospheric too! Love the dust particles floating around, and the hoverning giant... reminded me a bit of when Adam's first revealed in Neon Genesis, nailed up on a wall.

Nice and spooky. Happy Early Halloween RTC!

-cd-

RadioTubeClock responds:

Thanks for the review! I work for an HOA and have encountered the occasional Asbestos-Cement piping in our water mains although thankfully it's more the exception than the rule.

[The Curse Of The Uno Reverse Card]

Is there.. a message here? Something to be learned or uncovered? I don't get it at all but I do like the style. The dad does look a lot like Gordon Freeman too. XD

-cd-

loydeanimation responds:

hey! sorry for the late reply! yup, i planned a message behind the whole story. i appreciate your feedback! also, if you feel like it, tell me what you didn't get. i have to get better at writing, so it might not have been you not getting the story, rather me not conveying the message enough.
