UPDATE: Woot! 25K views! And in the top 50! Shiny. Very much so. Thanks a munch to you viewers and all of your comments, good, and less than so. It really helped some kinks in my movie, as well as ecouraged me to make more stuff. You guys really hit on all sixes. :D

Tweaked with a few minor quirks in the animation. Some obvious, some not so much. Let's see what you catch, ya? :3

Frontpaged! Lovely! You Newgroundian folks are all aces, you are. :D

Some of you've been asking what grade I got for the project. Although I haven't asked, I'm pretty sure it's a good grade considering my teacher's been ranting about it to her other classes. ¬¬;

Basically, it wouldn't work on her computer, but it did on the computer lab across the hall. But she wants to figure out a way the whole class can see it because she likes it a bunch.

ALSO! Major wootpoints to my friend Veedo, for sending me the actual song itself. You rock. :D

Hey. This took me.. a little over 2 weeks to finish at 18 FPS, aaand, my back hurts like nothing else now. :D

Anyway, this is for a school project, where we had to choose a protest song from the 60's and make a music video about it. I chose this, and decided to bust my arse on it, not just for the sake of a grade, but for the sake of trying make something really moving to people.

Sorry for my yammering, please enjoy!

"Beautiful, Fier."

date: July 1, 2009

This is one of the videos on NewGrounds that made me start to cry, as the beauty of the song and the animation collided, to make one magnificent masterpiece. You, my friend, are a genious.

"Fell between the cracks."

date: June 27, 2009

This is Newgrounds, where everything is by everyone. And by that nature, it's very easy for me to miss a nugget of gold in a swamp, especially if I find alot of other nuggets first. So, this thing was made three years ago and I only now found it. Well, don't judge me. Judge the short.

I know the song, but I think this will be the first time I bothered to REALLY listen to it and discern some sort of meaning. Many musicians and players and song-makers write their songs for a reason. Either to protest or tell a story or teach something, or maybe just to break all the barriers in life and rebel. It's fine.

This one, coupled with this video, certainly says something. I don't know if that was the original meaning for the song, but these flash-makers tend to follow the song's intent when animating, so maybe it is. And even though I don't really like depressing things, this one just works.
