"Beautiful"

date: April 2, 2008

The thing that struck me most about this flash was how each location had a different style, color palette, and texture. For instance, in the shots where the kids were playing Spiderman vs Darth Vader, the background looked as if it was a child's crayon drawing. Then the cityscapes were linear and scratchy, making them look gritty and corrupt. I really like this detailing and I think it made the flash more rich and interesting.
The choice of music worked very well. I liked that it was ambivalent to what was happening in the animation, as if the narrator was a mere observer that took no sides and made no judgments. I think that was what you were trying to get across with this was that everyone does the best they know how to, and I think the music really carried that message.
The only suggestion I would have would be that the movement wasn't smooth. It seemed that a lot of the characters had limited movement, and that made them seem more like paper dolls.
Otherwise, a great flash! Thanks!

Thank you very much! I love this review. You have a keen eye for detail. Some of the aspects you mentioned i kind of did unconsciously like the crayon backgrounds, but the way you explain it makes fully sense.
I know the movement itself isnt the best in this movie, but it was the best i could do at the time. Maybe you could check out my latest animation 'Jinas', where i spent more time in the actual movement and drawings. Id love to know what you think of that!

Take care, AITD
