"A bit ambiguous"

date: August 8, 2008

I'll start saying the animation was quite well done, both the music and scene transitions were pleasant and creative. My only doubts fall on the most important part of animations like these: their meaning. I had to watch "Renaissance of the Insignificant" thrice before truly understand the flow of intertwining meanings, but i am still uncertain about some of them, for example the reverse evolution scene in the end. Was it the idea of how humanity is regressing? Or was it the man's desire for humanity to have never been born, or strongly, his desire for it to disappear? With similar little doubts in the whole animation, it didn't leave me a feeling of revelation and it didn't add anything to what i already thought and knew. It didn't feel coherent.

Author's Response:

I think i tried to make the animation a bit like a poem. With different metaphors in the scenes, which in the end convey the same idea. Some of the reviews below come really close in describing that idea.

I can understand why it may not seem coherent at times, but try to not look at it in a way that each scene stands on its own and means something different, because that's not really the case.

Thanks for the review!

"Breath Taking."

date: April 22, 2008

Everything about it was beautiful. The ending is what finally made me say "wow.." i actually sat here and i couldn't think. It was one of the best films i have ever seen. Great job on this one. 5/5 10/10

"Great."

date: January 20, 2008

Creative, amazingly arranged, and thought-provoking. What more could you ask from a "serious" flash? I loved it.

"Seemingly Random Imagery"

date: January 7, 2008

I like the flash. It uses music well.
Some effects weren't quite-so top notch as others...
The man-squishing sequence wasn't as nearly visually impressive as the end.
But that's from one viewer to the next.
Maybe my eyes just see differently, but overall a little more consistency.
But it's mostly on point to becoming a top-notch flash submission.
Thanks for the opportunity to watch this wonderful work.

"Absolutely Creative..."

by: VCTX
date: November 1, 2007

The artistic concept behind this work is wonderfully developed. The title already places the viewer in deep thought....the flash film itself allows for further brooding of the people and places we have come to take for granted. Excellent choice of music. I definitely enjoyed the experience.

"Mind blowing....."

by: Mopp4
date: April 13, 2007

as an 800th review id like to say you are one of the few people who can wake up and realise civilization is losing its way, and materialism seems to dominate our identities. people dont live real lives anynmore they just exist to serve the capitalist system and carry on something that only benefits a tiny minority, and destroys the spirits of new generations through generations......
