Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[That Pisslord Bastard - aka FETISH CITY]

Pretty truthful to the original after all. :) Wasn't so much parody to this as I expected (assumed there'd be more to laugh at, but it was just as crazy as the real thing) but masterful claymation! The snow... I guess that's After Affects? Nice work.

dexheartwood responds:

I tried to do my best. Yeah the snow is in AE, it's definitely impossible to reproduce it in stopmotion. Thanks a lot for your comment I appreciated a lot :)

[Yusuf's Demo Reel 2018]

Lotsa expressions! :) Pretty smooth showcase here with good audio to back it up, fading away professionally sometimes to make way for that background audio... not a bad mix. Would've been cool if there was more variation with style and scenery, but it is what you make that you make it after all! Not bad.

-cd-

Yusuf responds:

Hopefully once I started getting pushed into animating for other people's projects, I'll have more variety in style to show off. I can adapt pretty easily, I just don't have a reason to change my style right now, haha. Thanks man.

[Reduce]

So the scenario... is that they've all been shrunk down in size? Where? How? Why? All kinds of questions pop up when it begins, and makes you wonder if there might be a prequel somewhere, or how it was all arranged... but once you start getting into it it's all good after all! Good story, and so much detail with the characters. Impressive level of detail, which does show in how Flash occasionally bogs down a bit... couldn't run it with highest quality after all.

Btw the presentations: don't seem to open correctly? Old link maybe? Overall nice work! Looking forward to catching up on this, and seeing the sequels later on too.

-cd-

Mejson responds:

This is deliberate :) Your questions... this will be explained during the whole saga of Reduce: P
I will try to make sure there are no lags in Reduce 2 :) And the animation will be in 1000 x 700 px, so everything will be better visible :)

Old links? Rather, they should be for links on NG, sorry for my mistake.

Reduce 2 will be much more: interesting, zero lags, more actions and some questions will be explained :)

Thank You very much, my new friend :)

[CLOSE ENCOUNTER that kind of]

It starts just like it does in the movie! :D Or... at least features a similar scene. Memories blur regarding the original. Really cool how you build up the atmosphere with that red light, and the sudden alien apparition: pretty creepy! But then it moves on to a whole new ball game, and the ending... oh man, can't stop laughing. XD How this combines such a hybrid of violence and love and manages to both induce fear and hilarity all the way... such a strange combination. It works though. Masterful work.

dexheartwood responds:

Thanks a lot. These comments make me keep doing what i love in spite of everythigh. So thanks so much

[Yonder Ho! - Episode 13]

This series has evolved, and changed, so much since the early ones I remember! And the 13th episode coming out on the 31st: what a well-planned twist this was. :) Breeze seems like a pretty interesting character, though not sure we've been properly introduced before hmm... the premise here seems as new as it seemed to you in that month you started writing it - or have I missed some earlier episodes here? Am I becoming overly forgetful? And has this series always been this violent? :O

The close-up on Pete's eyes felt a bit out of character. Never seen those before either. I think. The blackness otherwise seems like a part of his character. Enjoying the eerie atmosphere though, those freaky twists and lovable endings. Feelgood vibes after all! The thing I'm maybe missing the most here are those intermissions! Though we sorta get some of those at the very end... hoping this series keeps going for some time too! There aren't many long-lasting ones out there not in some way angled to please the audience and/or make a profit. :) So this is a refreshingly exception. Good fun. And cheers on these first five years!

Bertn1991 responds:

Hey, thanks for sticking with the series for so long. I appreciate the feedback very much :D

You're right, the character of Breeze and the premise of the episode isn't well explained. I didn't want to bore people with lots of exposition I guess. Breeze is an old character, but it's the first time she's been in a main episode. The only other time she made an appearance was in old Yonder Ho animation tests from before the show was a thing.

Everything from the ideas to writing the script to doing animation was done in the month of October. I hadn't planned anything beforehand and I promise you didn't miss any episodes. (You aren't getting forgetful!)

Since it was a Halloween episode, I added some more graphic parts than I normally would. It's by far the most violent episode.

Pete's eyes have always changed to capture certain emotions. Kinda like Finn from Adventure Time. They are just black dots most of the time.

The next episode will have those intermissions! There was simply such a tight deadline all. I really like doing them.

Anyways, thanks again for the feedback. It's always a treat reading your reviews. All the cheers <3

[Animated Madlib # 6]

Simple as that animation is it's also surprisingly detailed sometimes! Entertaining little madlb too. XD Nice one. Can't remember the last time I tried a madlib btw, this c could be fun...

-cd-

Bertn1991 responds:

Me and my sister love doing madlibs. It's always good for a laugh ^.^

Thanks for the review, as always. The animation is kinda lousy, but I had plenty of fun drawing the ugliest people I could think of X)

[Incident:016M]

Judging by that 2015 in the corner I guess this a blast from the past. :) Hoids well today too though, and the audio goes with it just as well. Smooth little bout of madness.

juanford66 responds:

heh yeah, thanks for the review anyways

['La Yema']

Hey it's another one of these perfect loops, with a disturbing twist to it! :O Awesome work with the sound design too. I'm eating lunch at the time of watching actually, some rice, and a fried egg... hmmmmmm. I guess the rice should be OK...

-cd-

Butzbo responds:

Thanks Cd! as you mention I haven't done much suspenseful/potentially disturbing stuff at all so this was fun to experiment with. also, yeah there should be nothing wrong with the rice ;)

[Huntress Episode: 1 - Pilot]

Character design has me thinking of Lara Croft, and the intro had me thinking of GTA 3 for a moment, the premise like Alias before it all gets started... the moves were like a fighting game too. :) So many relatabilities. Some of the actions are a bit too fast, like the running away, and the third guy just appears out of nowhere, when they're walking they almost seem to be floating along the ground too, and the lip sync doesn't always match but... small details.

Overall this was great. I like how it plays out pretty much just like a regular series, and towards the end the intrigue's really adding up. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out in the next ep!

timeisbutawindow responds:

Thank you for the feedback! I'll work on the above mentioned in the next one.

[RIP IT OUT]

So dark! Won't be a Happy Halloween with too much like this, but I love it. The ambiguity. The rage. The cycle. It's like Alien and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide and a bunch of others all in one, a masterful; macabre mess, and even if you don't really follow along you definitely feel it. Smooth motions and great work with the sound too! Happy Hallows!

AntonM responds:

cheers cd, always cool to read your reviews dude :))
