Syphos's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Halo / Victory]

Very nice.

A lovely song, coupled with appropriate animations and scenes that represent the lyrics quite well. Your characters are drawn very well and look very realistic.

The only complaint I have is that I couldn't help noticing the many static figures you had throughout this video. There were many scenes that displayed rigid figures only moving one part of their body or simply moving up and down, which takes away from the overall realim of the piece.

Still, when you did have the characters moving their bodies, such as in the fight scenes, it looked wonderful. If you could have that kind of animation throughout the entire video, I'm sure it would be an instant hit. I understand it's a long song and you presented enough variation to keep things entertaining, so I gave you a 9. Good job!

[There Is A War....]

Not bad.

Pretty cool song, and I like how you matched each of the lyrics with an image. It really helps to understand the song and get a clear picture of the meaning. Good concept, but I don't really like the self-made old, grainy film over the animation. It really doesn't contribute a lot to the piece. Anyway, keep it up!

The film effect was more of a test I had never done it before... As well as the lipsync.
But thank you :3

Great!

This was very fun to watch. The quality of your animation is wonderful and the cartoonish style that it is infused with makes it that much more entertaining. Your choice of movements and settings was perfect, and really contributed a lot of humor to the overall piece. Honestly, I could picture this being some kind of fantasy from a show like Family Guy. Great job with the animation, awesome song, and keep on making people laugh!

[Castle Repercussions - A]

A cinematic experience for all.

Absolutely amazing. You have created a masterpiece that is one of the most theatrical creations that I have viewed on Newgrounds. Flawless animations, voicework, writing, and music make this something that everyone can enjoy and find entertaining. I actually felt like I was in the movie theater watching this. The characters, even as sticks, seemed very human, and brought a new sense of realism to the animation. You presented the viewers with moments of suspense, fear, and intense action, all of which contribute to the overall quality of the piece. Great job, and I honestly cannot wait to view the next installation.

[In Solitude]

A profoundly emotional animation.

You have created a masterful piece of work here. The scenes that are presented are simplistic, yet they carry with them such a deep and powerful message. Each scene is wonderfully drawn and animated, and the music accompanying each of them seems to fit perfectly and truly conveys the emotional nature of the subject. This video intrigued me and truly made me think. Thank you, and I hope that you continue to produce such quality work in the future.

[Bellum Letale]

Stunning.

A visual masterpiece that leaves me wanting more. This is a brilliant if it is a teaser trailer as it is vague enough to intrigue an individual while also providing sufficient action coupled with breathtaking graphics. Well done.

thank you! im really glad you liked the visual aesthetics of this piece.

[Narwhals]

A catchy little number.

This is a very memorable song with very nice visuals. The lyrics are hilarious in their simplicity and the pictures are very entertaining. It truly makes you want to sing along about the narwhals. Well done!
