Hey Everyone!

"The Escape" is my very first short.

Creating the Film:

I worked on the animation section for approximately 3 days starting from May 26th, 2006 and ending May 28th, 2006. The Main Menu, Special Features, and all other contents were completed May 29th, 2006. I have worked with Flash before. However, "The Escape" was the first animation I created.

I did not use any storyboard or written contents because the ideas were captured in my mind throughout the making of the short. Also, some of the ideas were provided by my family and friends to insure that they knew where my animation was headed.

This film was created using Macromedia Flash 8 and Adobe Photoshop CS. In Flash, I only used 12 frames per second to make sure that I get the animation done over the weekend. Furthermore, I previously had experience with action scripting which helped create the title menu and special features. And "The Escape" is the result. So I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Thanks.

P.S. rate fair!

-Bernie

Being that it is your first actual work with a flash animation, I'd have to say that it is top of the line in comparison to other beginners' work. I could definitely see your potential of being a great flash animator with more time spent with flash. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see more animations from you.

Author's Response:

Thanks bro! It mean alot to know that you enjoyed my work. I'll spend alot more time on my next animation which should be released by fall 2006 or even sooner. Peace.

"Interesting"

date: May 29, 2006

A very serious short, the whole idea and how u expressed it is very interesting and the way everything is compared to something like the hunter to the law was genius.

"Sound needs work but.."

date: May 29, 2006

Good flash with a lot of symbolism.

However it ended very abruptly. The credits sound did not fit with the real tone of the movie, neither did the title screen.

The special features were a neat touch to help understand the story.

Good job overall. 9/10

Author's Response:

Thanks. I'll use your comment to improve on my next submission.

"Boring and short. Like English class."

I found no point to this movie. There is nothing really to say about it. I liked the music, so I'll give you 7 that. And I go pheasant hunting; so there's a 10 for humor in there for you.

Author's Response:

Thanks for your comment. I can't believe that you gave me a 0. I know that some people may believe that it is boring. However, I don't think that you understand how much effort it takes to create an animation. Anyway, your comment is important to me because I can use it to improve. Thanks.

"intresting, needs more."

date: May 29, 2006

First thing, it was kinda short, and the special features really doesn't tell us anything we already, know, and I think it makes a better flash if you let them think about what the crow symbolizes, the other 2 characters are pretty well explained in the film. ok things I liked, good use of music, I think it fit the scene. And the use of the animation, the morpphing effects were pretty good. All in all, it was a good first work, but like anything always ways to improve. Good job keep it up.

Author's Response:

I agree that it was short. Thanks for your comment! I'll use it to help me on my next flash submission. Therefore, you can say that your comment is important.
