"Nice story...."

date: December 22, 2008

Can ya make it a little longer? Just to show more of the story, perhaps with a happy or sad ending, just so we see what the persistence leads up to. Only thing I did not really care for were the slight religious overtones, but hey, that is just me, other than that it is good, just as I said, could be a bit longer and show an outcome.

"Nicely done :)"

date: July 27, 2008

I thought this one was great. Nice animation and pretty good voice acting. My only complaint would be the sound clips when the voices came on. but thats hard to avoid.

And for those of you who don't get the story, It does help to just go and read the bible verse that is presented at the beginning and end of the flash.

just makes it a bit clearer for those who were curious.
Thanks Rene

"Nice, Good Biblical lesson."

date: January 24, 2008

Once again, solid animation, fantastic voice acting, and a great story capped off with a great moral. Loved it! After watching this piece I have now seen ALL of your work, and it has remained consistently entertaining, and beautifully crafted. Outstanding! I only wish to see more from you before you get big-and-famous off of this...Voted 5!

"Nice"

Am I right in assuming that the judge was probably not very kind during the actual case (after the movie ends)? I can't imagine him being lenient to the poor woman, since he only agreed to hear the case (he never made any promises about what the verdict would be).

If that's the wrong interpretation, then film contradicts its own point; it seems like the widow's nagging only led to the judge really hating her.

Now, the good points: great facial animations, nice graphics in general, good voices (although the judge sounds a bit too "acted" in one or two places), and good pacing. Your body animation still needs some work - it's a bit rushed. Oh, and nice musical choice.

It's a fairly good film from the technical side, but it is unclear which message it is promoting. It's either too subtle for its own good or sabotaging its real message.

"good one"

date: July 18, 2007

that was a pretty nice animation. i'm not 100% sure if i got the moral of the story, though i do have 2 theories as to what it could be. this one here had a very nice and interesting plot to it, the old lady was a pretty unique character and it was fun to watch.
nice job on this one.
it was good.

"pretty good"

date: July 17, 2007

The animation was good, and it promoted a moral. i cannot give it a 5 only beacause its not my kind of thing, but regarding your flash skills and the clear voice of your voice actors, i would give your skills in themselves an 8/10. NG, as i have come to notice it, does not have short animations about a somewhat good moral which no one would care much about anyway, get too far with recognition. not sayng its not a good moral, im just stating the facts. more people would view it if it showed an extremely powerfully seen ideal. in the eyes of other voters, here is what they might see: some woman is nagging a judge about her bank probs. who cares? however if it were something along the lines of " the story of the widows family dying then living a life of poverty, before begging the judge for his pity and holding a case to help her life" it would get more views. it is not the message the people dont like, but its the perspective in which the story is told. in this story we see the judges side, which is just him being annoyed to death, but from the widows side, it may get more of a bang with you audience. unfortunatly, if the flash isnt an action or comedy, drama needs alot of punch to get far. kudos though

"This is nice."

date: July 17, 2007

The animation is great, the sounds and voices are great... This submission in general is great. The moral of the story is "If you annoy the heck out of your neighbors, they'll do anything." 7/10 and 4/5.
