Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Awesome Fulp]

2002? 2008? 1994? 1995? Getting mixed messages there but I doagree with the AWESOME part! :D Now this is what this is all about. Love the style. Perfect music too.

SuperColoroid responds:

Thanks you liked it!
Truly I did the cartoon on 2008.
Now I added the Pico fight at starting (a "lost" animation test of those year as well), I added this music... and it seems people like it more than the old one.

[Vikings]

Hey, a fellow Swede! :D Gotta love the theme, and part from that the animation's great, simple but smooth - with gradient backgrounds that sometimes seem an unnaturally detailed contrast. It's all easy to follow and fun to watch, though the music... feels a bit strange. Experimental like the genre. It's uplifting music, but at the same time it really doesn't feel like anything that'd relate to 'Vikings'. I'd picture something a bit more fast-paced and ferocious, or pompous, or Norse... basically just something very different. It doesn't sound like your traditional intro music either, which maybe breaks the impression of this as an intro. It feels more like a teaser, or prelude, until that final traditional trademark splash. :)

Would love to see more Vikings, though! Nice work. And interesting read on the process behind it.

Skogur responds:

Tackar! Didn't think there were that many Swedes around here. ^^

It stated off as an intro but then as we dragged out some scenes and put in sound effects it sort of turned into a different thing as just as you mentioned. The music got a bit more, um playful? than I first had imagined. I told my friend who was in charge of it (who really hasn't made that much stuff before this) to mimic the opening of an anime called "Slayers", which didn't turn out that great, so after that I just told her to make her own thing. I'd imagine the sound guys did a lot of trial and error just like I did.

Anyway, I'll see what I can come up with next time, and thank you for such a detailed review! It was really hard for me to put into words what was off with the music for example. ^^'

[Chronicles in Space - Monkey Business]

Not sure what happened at the end there, just floating around in space... but until that point it was going pretty good! Entertaining. Also wonder who claimed that kingly title on that one planet hmm... nice work.

-cd-

WhatdayRyan responds:

This video was made for YouTube, the floating at the end is when the subscribe and video suggestions would appear

[Game Grumps Animated- Doki Doki Literature Club: Sad Sayori]

Well that was pretty entertaining. XD Smooth sketch, and an intro twist that gets you intrigued right away... nice one.

-cd-

TheDogtor responds:

Hehe! Thank you! :D

[CLUB PENGUIN BANTER]

Well that was random! Sounds almost like a Game Grumps sketch, like something snatched out from an unrelated sketch and then appended animation... is it? Doesn't seem like there's any reference to such a thing in the description though... overall a random but entertaining animation, though out of context not always all that fun. Some good moments though!

-cd-

TheMartoon responds:

Yep That's pretty much what it is,sorry I probably should have made that more clear but yeah it's from an English Youtuber called "Memeulous" who asked me to animate some of the best parts from his club penguin series with his friend "Joshy". Heres the first video from the animation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbUav-uF5do&t=22s

[Purgatory (Animated Short)]

So this was made back in... 1846? :P Entertaining short, though when that cat pops up at the end there the Gnome seems somewhat surprised... like he's not sure if he can take on the cat or not, like he wonders if the cat had any part on his purgatory, like he doesn't know into which world he just entered... trying to figure out what his expression tells, but considering he just went through hell maybe any fraction would be a natural reaction! Love the idea, and the fluent movement with the animation too. Mood builds up nicely.

-cd-

LiamJMWilson responds:

The original story was that the garden cats had created this purgatory for him. However as we ran out of time before our hand in at university, that last shot didn't really get the attention it needed so it doesn't really tell the story as we planned. Thank you for commenting.

[Scooby's Government conspiracy]

Was starting to think that sounded a lot like Game Grumps... but hey, a stream I didn't know about! :D They got the voice impressions spot on. Entertaining short (and stylish intro, oldskool).

-cd-

shibasquish responds:

Thanks! And yeah,I was pretty amazed too when they just whipped these impressions out during the stream since these guys never did any other kinds of impressions before

[Videogame Fight]

I guess this is what it feels like to really immerse yourself in a game! XD Entertaining sketch, though the explosion felt downplayed a bit - and the black stick is just standing still (even though he seemed to be jumping up to meet the punch?) to take the hit... do like ambiguity at the end though, no Game Over, just a stylish barrel roll back into the real world. Good stuff.

-cd-

ReddieAnimates responds:

Thank you for your review! I'll try to improve on the aspects you mentioned that were below par. Everyone's criticism is greatly appreciated!

[The Journal]

Seems like an epic journey's about to commence! :D I mean: journal. Really atmospheric intro there, though hope there'll be content for NG too! Looking forward to it!

-cd-

TheCartoonJournal responds:

An Epic Journey Indeed! Thank You Very Much, Of Course Ill Be Posting On Newgrounds, In Fact, New Content Coming soon!

[Having The Time]

I can't read ... clocks? Just can't catch that one word at the end there, but apart from that: genius. XD So simple but so well presented. It's about time!

-cd-

subterraneanlosers responds:

It’s “analog” clocks. Yea I might have overdone it on the reverb! Haha.
