Score: 9
"Touching"
date: November 6, 2005
Overall, I liked it. The choice of song and the way the animation was synced with it especially for the "Bright Eyes" parts was very good. There are two things I would have done differently, but even still I think it's worth a good, solid "9". The first thing is that in the dim scenes, I would have made it a little easier to see. I understand why they were dim, as in real life that's how it would be, but for the purpose of a short animation meant for viewer use, I think the inability to distinguish details of the scenes of destruction was a bit distracting. The other thing is the flag in the final devastation scene - the buildings around it are obliterated, but it's blowing in the breeze undamaged. It was a symbologically useful element for the intent of the short, but I would have made it singed and tattered. Still, like I said, I really enjoyed the film overall. Thanks for making it!
