Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["Gun Fun" Animatic - A student work]

Love the style, and how unexpectedly it all evolves! That eye glow came out of nowhere though - feels like it should've been consistent the whole road unless... it all began when she summoned something from that book? That bit feels a bit unclear, but everything after: awesome. :) Ends in a good way too! Now imagine if this was actually fully animated...

DatCakeIzEhPai responds:

Oh glad you notice, yes, I shift the color purposely under my instructor's request to show different process and evidence that these are in-work class. I know it is confusing but I had to or I'll lose grades. Hope that explains and thank you. As for the book thing, it was supposed to be an anticipation device but I sorta failed, didn't I?

[Fortnite Animated - Lucky Llama]

No idea what's going on here but randomness in itself is: pretty entertaining! Good stuff.

ZenithQuinn responds:

haha, thanks for checking it out! basically in the game, there's these llama shaped pinatas that randomly spawn with desirable items inside. Sometimes people hide c4 on them as a trap.

[Pico Parody X (2010)]

Seems like a lot of people are sitting on - and sending in - unfinished work this year. :) Bit short but good fun! Happy Pico Day!

-cd-

ToonCastleTV responds:

Thanks, it's abridged so that's why :) Maybe one day I will get around to properly animating it. Thanks for your review!

[Pico V.S. Piconjo Sketch vers.]

Can't wait for the less sketchy version of this. :) Also 70 FPS... that seems insanely detailed! Maybe animators are working with higher rates now than they used to, but back in the day 24 was easily good enough - and with video 30 seems like standard. 70... sounds awesome but also like it could be way more work than it needs to be! Best ask advice from the pros, though, what do I really know. Good stuff.

Rovertarthead responds:

Well no that’s just me I love animation and want to go all out LOL and yeah that’s good advice to I’ll go do that. Thanks very much for your support to I can’t wait as well I’ll be doing my best!

[Expo-Wave - Part 1 - The future of gaming]

Lip sync's not always on sync, but apart from that: sounds intriguing! Nice voicing, music and all.

HeadbanGames responds:

Thanks, I will work on the lips sync some more!

*update*
I worked some more on the lip syncing.

[Wallace and Gromit The Lost Episode LEAKED FOOTAGE]

Well this was way longer than expected! Pretty twisted too. With the face shifting and random moments right from the start you know something's about to go down but... can't say I really follow the comedy when it does. It seems to just portray Wallace in the worst possible way, without much redeeming story to go with it... I appreciate the effort that went into this, but those intended laughs became frowns, uncomfortable moments and confusion instead. I understand the value of Gallows humor, but didn't expect it this would class as that. Props on all the time spent on this, and it did entertain, but I feel like it could use a clearer direction and relatable puns if it really intends to be comedy. Feels pretty experimental.

ChamberOfReavers responds:

Thanks for the comment. Appreciate it :D

[Speedpaint - Luna n' the stone path]

Pretty smooth speedpaint! Nice music to go with it too.

cloket responds:

thanks :D

[I'VE GOT NO FRIENDS]

Could've skipped the shotgun bit... but the rest of it was pretty fun! :D I'm really not clinically depressed though. Not that I know...

-cd-

Caliber06 responds:

lol thanks for the review! Feedback is always appreciated

[Nothing/Void]

Always with an inspiring quote at the start of these! :D Getting curious about how these are coordinated too - if everyone has a set part from the start, if it's all put in order at the end - with suitable voicing and transitions between? The connection seems to be only the theme, yet it does tie together nicely. No odd transitions. Like it might be scripted. Favorite bit in this one was definitely the feature presentation! Good stuff. Always questioning. Not as much a piece on motion as previous, but all good stuff.

FlowDownStream responds:

Here's a quick breakdown of how it all works;

We all suggest themes, then we all vote.
After the theme has been decided, we pick a director.
Then everyone just works on their own parts until the deadline (which we actually started making now!) and the director mashes it all together into an episode.

And as always, it was a pleasure reading your review!

[Old Earth]

Impressive work! Both the animation and narration - equally powerful and atmospheric, and when the show really starts, with the voice acting and action and other random events... it's all thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. A continuous yet totally senseless bout of entertainment featuring an awesome but equally sad gathering of characters - with particularly immense explosions, whenever there's a reason for one! Reminds of Mad Max a bit. If this turns into more than the one: would be great to see. Awesome work.

Fantishow responds:

That’s a very well articulated analysis of this. I’m glad you pointed out the sadness of the cast, I thought that would be lost on people. Thank you!
