I'm not bitter or anything... ;-)

Pretty good.
I definitely like it. I have to digress with the previous reviewer in that I actually find the musical choice to be perfect. Grieg's 'Hall of the mountain king' fits the rhythm of the action perfectly, and it's great to see such a forgotten piece of classical music put to such great use. On the downside, I guess I already find the goth imagery a bit cliché. Nevertheless, it's a real good piece of animation.

I do not like goths
However, I did like this. I looked at many different aspects. The sound bothered me. It was too soft to begin with, then got way too loud as the film went on.
I liked the gladiator type reference and the Flying monkeys-- Reminded me of the Wicked Witch of the West and her minions.
There is way too much to say about this film that makes it good and bad. However here is a quote from my film teacher that will be helpful to prospective flash film makers and other people alike.
"To begin understanding film, you have to become stupid"
Looking at such aspects as Contrast Dominance, Mise en scene, subtext, graphics/composition of the shot etc.
I do however notice that the Goth girl makes a potion. Cupid makes one also. Each seems to have thier own significance. A love potion and a heartbreak potion of some sort. With foreshadowing, I thought the dark potion to be A fail safe. However we see the weapons along side each potion and subconsiously relate to poison arrows. Like I said, too much to talk about ^_^

you have done it again!!
i must say katy, that you have done it yet again. It must be difficult because with every animation you do you set the bar even higher. There are only a few artists that i give 10's repeatedly and you are one of them. Great work, i cant wait till the next one.

ya just gotta love the monkeys
Seriously, there's no way to not love the monkies and the music combination. Great choices, mad props on that. I've gotta say, most of the stuff that happens on Vday is BS, but I do have a girlfriend and I do buy her stuff. It's a good concept for a holiday, but people screwed it over. Gotta say, keep up the good work. If there was an 11 outta 10, it'd go to Sound and Humor. Very nice. Keep it up.
