And as a result, I took special note of your flash way back in February when you first submitted it. Sorry it's taken me so long to get around to reviewing it, but I was reminded to do so by your second version of this, and now I've finally gotten around to doing them both at once.
Kite is one of the best songs on All That You Can't Leave Behind, so I'm glad that you liked it enough to animate Fluete around it. I think you've created a good music video here, and while some of the pacing is a little off, you do a damned good job of lining things up with the music very well.
Anyway, from the launch of the missle to the "angel"isation of the protagonist... to his girlfriend watching helplessly as he heads for the missle... the events of the flash aren't hard to foresee, but they're still quite worth watching, and the music just helps us coast along nicely with the bittersweetness of it all. I'm glad you had the idea of making this in the first place, and I'm going to comment on some of the particular scenes/art/etc. more in my review of your other version of Fluete. Right about... now!
