"An interesting portrayal"

by: Coop83

date: December 31, 2008

I see you've gone for the higher meanings of the lyrics of this particular piece, it's a testament to the fact that you've actually sat and listened to the lyrics over and over again - something that I'm struggling to do, in order to better see your portrayal.

Still, it's a nice piece in the style of the ever popular 'madness' series. I'm not sure about the animation of Plan B on top of the building, as it looks like he's taking some sort of sick twisted pleasure in watching this story play out below him and that he's having a wank over it all - you might want to reconsider his hand movements if you edit it.

I think that the vocal pieces that occurred in the song needed some better sort of animation style than Madness, as it has never really lent itself toward facial expression and lip-syncing. If you worked on that, you'd be able to give us your own interpretation of the piece with your own animations, which would earn yourself much more kudos in future.

Not a bad start, keep up the good work and I look forward to more of your stuff.

"Good music video"

by: Haggard

date: December 28, 2008

The video was done pretty nicely. I liked the camera zooms and the movement, even though it sometimes seemed a bit too hectic, moving to the left, then a few seconds after that moving over to the right again, etc. .

The mouthes where a nice addition, so it was easy to figure out which character was supposed to be speaking, but the mouths changed their position all the time. It would be better if they stayed in one position, only changeing size and shape.
Also, the lip syncing needs some more work here, but I guess it's quite a hard thing to do that.

The most annoying thing however was that typo at the end. "Your arrested"! My what? :P

Also, the movement of the hand of the guy on the roof was a bit weird, too. He was moving his hand even though he wasn't rapping anymore. Looked a bit like he was jacking off up there. XD

But overall I enjoyed this movie. You managed to visualize the lyrics of the song pretty well. I especialy liked how that "Bizzness Woman" took out her cellphone before the actual line was sung. This added a lot of dynamic to the flash, as if everything was happening in real time and some crazy dude was just rapping about what he saw.

"Hmmmmmm...."

by: Lord-Of-Lazyness

date: December 23, 2008

I decided to split mine into sections due to it's length:

Animation/Graphics: The graphics were decent, and animation was ok. Adding hands to all the characters will improve the layout a bit, feet would be another anatomical feature that is missing(everyone might be wearing dresses). Movement was decent as the characters slid around the room.

Audio/Animation(mouth): Lip syncing is a difficult task and attempting it was a good try, however the mouths fly all over the characters mouth. Try keeping the mouth in one position, changing the size and slight alterations to shape could express words better. Even though this is not my kind of song I will ignore this as the scene corresponds to the song well.

Overall this was not bad for a music video, just needs a little more touching up here and there. Good luck on your next submission.

"Not that bad."

by: Fro

Animation/Graphics - Not bad at all. A bit better than what you usually put out there. I liked the zoom ins and outs that you used here. I don't know how to do them myself actually. I would like to do them in a flash project that I'm working on so how do you do the zooms like you do? The only real problems with the animation is that sometimes it would be faster in some parts than others, but that wasn't too much of a problem. The other problem would be the mouth animations. I've practiced with making mouths so I know how hard it it myself, but a little work on the mouth animation would make this look much better.

Story/Content - I'm not going to check out the original movie video just because I don't have the time or the internet connection to do it, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you made a decent tribute to it. To be honest I couldn't really follow what was going on so maybe you could add a part in your author comments about what is going on or just putting the lyrics themselves so I had something to read along with for better understanding. This was much longer than most of your submissions and did have a story unlike most of your submissions so that's where you got the extra couple of points from me since I'm usually giving you 6's.

Audio - Not really my type of music. Is this what you kids are listening to nowadays? :( Ha, well like I mentioned before the mouths could have been synced with the audio just a little bit better and the quality of the audio could have been a little bit better, but it does sound like you compressed the audio, which I appreciate because of the low file size I could actually review it.

Overall - Just a couple of things could have been cleaned up, but probably a little bit better than most of your stuff.

"Nice."

Animation wasn't the greatest I have ever seen, even for a madness animation. But this did tell the story and match the song very well. Good animation. Keep up the work.

Kind regards -

"Title"

by: ZiggyZack99

date: December 21, 2008

Well, even while being nice... the audio was choppy, the animation was choppy.

The flash was choppy.

Even so, I'll give you an eight for effort.

Keep trying!

"Don't worry..."

by: SecretFinalBoss

date: December 14, 2008

I didn't need to see what it was originally based on. I followed the lyrics as I watched and saw that you did exactly what you're supposed to do when making a music video: if it happens in the song, it happens in the video. Peace.

"Liked the beatbox..."

Simple full animation. Good flow throughout. The folks talking on phone and on street realy added to the feel of the song. Nice.
