How could you?

Do your conscience a favor and remove this abomination. Your words in the comments are phony, and makes this flash even more revolting.

Great frame by frame

I liked that a lot! I'm putting it in my favorites.

Expert job

Lots of different shots, close attention to detail, great backgrounds, expressive facial animation... this had to be a ton of work for one guy. And, you really know how to draw.

I'm not a fan of the whole '60s fashion thing or that Zellweger movie, but this flash is still very impressive. I wish there was something a little off or twisted about it, but that's ok.

Underrated

It's kinda short and not much happens, but it's still interesting. I think you have potential to make a future classic. Anyway, this is better than the average movie passing judgement.

Prank gone wrong

Someone else said that what you did, follow a well done & popular Flash with a horribly crappy one, is like Andy Kaufman's humor. Maybe, but Kaufman was still entertaining when he was terrible. This movie has almost zero entertainment value by itself. The bad audio clipping at the end (owch) had to be intentional coming from you, I couldn't appreciate that at all. I hope you had a good laugh.

Master of dark atmosphere

This is the best Flash I've seen this year. Thanks for working so hard on this, it really shows. Superior to anything on the front page right now...

Really nice work

Excellent art and animation, a really professional job. Only one criticism... the story has a Mac TV commercial quality which I didn't care for. I use Macs, I like them, but I don't like their commercials (remember that moron standing in a white room - "I had this PC which, like, ate my homework? And like I didn't know how to turn it on, you know?") The character in your movie isn't as stupid as her, but he's still a little slow (uh, how about putting your precious computer in a bag, Einstein?) and rather dull, and won't stop talking about his computer (ok, you love your Mac, we get it.)

But still, great job working with this material. I think your skills are solid.

It is no coincidence that the cartoon seems to have that "Mac TV commercial quality"--my original intention for the project was to pitch it to Apple to use at as an intro for Steve Jobs's keynote address in their final NYC Macworld Expo. Unfortunately, that ended up going nowhere. Also, the original interview was actually 30 minutes long, most of which was NOT Mac-hugging chatter, and I cut that down to just 90 seconds with a real Macintosh slant. And, believe it or not, Heath's Mac actually was in a bag on the subway! But that didn't work visually for the animation, so I edited out that detail in his narration. Other than that, the story is 100% true. Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Good first try, however...

rather than speed up the music to shorten the movie, why not just edit the song to make it shorter? You already took out the solo, so you must be familiar with the process involved. I understand you like the effect, but you must realize by now that hardly anyone else does. When making a music video, I think you should try to reproduce the song as well as possible (with reasonable compression.)

On the positive side, you draw well, and this is a very good first effort. I like the preloader, too. Try giving yourself a lot more time to work on your next movie... I think you'll be happy with the results.

ArtistJ responds:

Yea, i have come to grips with the fact everyone hates that chipmunk sound. so my next video that i have been working on for the past 2 weeks is not edited at all. Its a video to 311's song "reconsider Everything" off their album "evolver." Its coming along well and its not sped up whatsoever. Im sure it will do much better than this one. Thanks for your review.

Nice Job

Looks like this took a good amount of time to do. You draw people really well, and I liked your use of shadows. I was impressed with the animation, but the story kind of reminded me of Weekend at Bernie's (a little predictable.) This should have a better score.

poignant?

Your Flash skills are beyond doubt and well known, but even you admit (in a previous review response) that you were "just trying to go for a quick message rather than some elaborate film." That being the case, I feel I have to heavily base my review on the message.

My first thought is, who exactly are these characters supposed to be? OK, I guess the instigator must be Bush, but who are the two simple, smiling victims? Are they innocent Iraqi or Afghan civilians? Taliban? Uday and Qusay? American citizens? Civil liberties? Terrorists? You leave no clue.

Whoever they are, in your story there are no murderous, insane, Islamo-fascists who want to kill as many Americans as possible, only a murderous, insane American who blows himself up in the process of killing a smiling innocent. You should submit it to Al-Jazeera, they would love it.

DanPaladin responds:

you completely missed the point. those characters are NO country inparticular.

this film touches base on many levels, from gigantic topics to small ones. it could quite simply be a thread in a forum on a random website, or it could be what we see on TV. nobody was america, nobody was taliban, nobody was from greenland, nobody from australia.

it's people in general here.
