"Interesting Concept"

date: January 21, 2007

So; congrats on making a intriguing story. I personally, can't really make flash videos (^^;) but I believe I can spot a good story.

I found the flash itself a bit - well, I suppose "disturbing" covers it - overall, but I really enjoyed the irony of the story. Whether intentional or unintentional, the concept which I gleaned - that is, life-lines don't exactly determine how long you live - quite original and well-handled.

My compliments.

Author's Response:

Yes, you hit the nail on the head.

Thank you for your kind words! =D

"Good"

I can see this is 1 of your eairler masterpecies and i like how you portray emtions through music.
You have a strong sense of silence, love, emtions and lonleness throughout you works. Tinman was 1 of the best though.

Author's Response:

<_<
Well it is one of my earlier flash movies, at any rate. Masterpiece..? No. =P
Thanks for the great review! ^_^

"You are something else!"

date: July 11, 2005

I have just watched all of your submissions and I have to say, while they have not all been particularly deep in terms of surface factors such as plot or other things commonly connected with todays flash submissions your work has something entirely different from mainstream flash media. Your flash seems to revolve around the raw emotions that someone would think about, and you are still able to make it tasteful in every way. Its like.... you pass the point across without the gore (a small blood splatter does not qualify to me as gore) or the hate. Its like you show the depth and darkness of the mind without actually showing it... I dont know how else to explain it... but your art has depicted me in several situations in my life. I think.... that everyone can connect with your messages at some point. Beautiful. Dont ever think you have not acomplished much, because its not every day that a stranger can make me, a 20 year old, cry.

Author's Response:

Wow, thank you for that very deep and personal review. :)

I'm never very certain as to how successfully I've been able to accomplish it, but your review sums up perfectly what my aim, in regards to art and animation, is.

I believe that the most powerful and important tool any artist can have is their emotion. It isn't learned in school or purchased in an art or software store, but comes with life, free of charge.

Maybe it's pretentious of me to say it, but that is how I feel and it's what I want the things that I make to say.

And I'm really very happy that that came across to you. :)

"Great, and not jsut becuase of graphics this time"

date: April 30, 2005

It gives a curious sense of a matrix feel. And I liekd the aliens style. But still, could give a story line, witch would make it alot better, but hey, keep it up.

And since someone will call me a "shallow" about my review of the surface of the water, I'm going ot burb this. It did make me think, I understnad it, but it was lose and unconnected, the idea, love can break past to social levels and leaves ot it's own place is beautiful, but , the flash is truly unconnected, and I bet some of the reviews were rated higher probally becuase if they said it was bad, then they would be called, simple and uncultured, but people who act like that deserve ot be tossed of a brige, the people who thikn becuas eit wans't the excpeted opion means it's the foolish one, no offense

Author's Response:

Well, thanks... Funny that you should like this one more than the others.

Hey, don't worry about your other reviews... I ALWAYS want to hear what people think. I can tell by the amount of thought that you put towards reviewing that you do take the time to think about what you liked or didn't like and that's what matters.

Anyway, as far as story line goes for this and the others you've reviewed. It's more of a stream of conciousness deal with me. I'm usually using the loose stories (which in my head at least seem pretty rational) to make a more or less visual representaion of emotions and memories that I have in my head. There really is no right or wrong way to watch them and all opinions (and conclusions about what they are supposed to mean) are equally valid. If you don't like it I am more than okay with that assessment and would like to hear how I can improve it. No offence is taken. :)

Again, thanks for reviewing!

"That was creepy..."

date: April 14, 2005

This flash was much different than the other movies I have seen you make. I did like it, but I think I like your other movies better.

Author's Response:

Yeah, it was the first thing I submitted to NG and I hadn't yet found my voice, as it were....

...I think the others are better as well. :D

Thanks for reviewing (again)!

"oooOOoo"

date: March 24, 2005

Wow, very creepy concept. A friend of mine is into palm reading so the message was quite clear. Awesome idea!

Author's Response:

Cool, I'm happy you understood this. It's good to see I didn't TOTALLY miss the mark this time.

Thanks for reviewing.

"ummmmm"

date: March 19, 2005

R....i....g....h....t

not your best but for your first submission pretty good.

but i really dont get it.

whatever guess everything is not supposed to be understood

Author's Response:

Well, yeah, a lot of people don't really understand what I was going for...

OK, in palmistry (the study of lines on ones palms to predict their fate etc.) a persons life line (the most prominant line running from the edge of your palm about halfway between the index finger and thumb and curving downward toward the wrist) is used to detrmine that persons quality of life. However, most people believe it is a way of determining how long they will live.

So the flash is meant to be ironic. As the blue man with short life lines kills the green yakking doofus who has rather long ones...

The town of Sedona (where I grew up and currently live) is a new age capital of sorts, and palmistry/astrology/psychic readings etc. are more common around here than in other places I guess.

Thanks for reviewing!

"Not as good as your other stuff...."

date: March 16, 2005

Just what the title says. Its good, but not at the level in artwork and....stuff as your other submissions.

Author's Response:

Heh, I know... this was the first thing I ever submitted to Newgrounds, It survived judgement with a decent score (3.4 something, I think) but, yeah, it's pretty bad.

If you want to see some truely horriffic things I've made check out my web site! Ha! ^_^

Thanks for reviewing (yet again)!
