Oedipus's RAD Adventure

Share Collapse

Author Comments

Well, just the other day I had this little project to do in world history. What we had to do is pick a greek god or legend or myth or whatever and do a little presentation on that. My group had no idea on what myth we could do, but our teacher suggested Oedipus.

I knew we would regret choosing that myth upon reading it.

Suicidal sphinxes and sons making love to mothers and having daughters who are your sisters and JESUS CHRIST it was a messed up story. However, it was perfect material for a flash movie.

I started out with writing a full script.

As you could tell, the script only took 5 minutes. The actual animation was done over a course of 3 in a half days (which explains the shitty animation in general). Most of the voice acting I either: did it in the middle of the night, or, did it right on the spot when I needed it (which is why some of the voice acting is total shit).

Overall, I had to trash almost 1/5th of the script (however, earlier I had to trash 1/2 of the script until our teacher gave us more time due to his projector exploding every 5 seconds) and people enjoyed it very much. I perticularly love that one scene with the Sphinx, mainly because of the voice I did for the Sphinx and the random doodles I drew while doing the scene.

I guess it isn't that bad for a flash thats been worked on for at least 3 in a half days. A much needed improvement from my other flash that I did almost a year ago.

great man...

this was pretty funny, a little inaccurate though. it was antigone who was banished for burying Polynieces and he then he gouged his eyes out because he realized all that crap he did. i love how you pronounce Oedipus as Eat-a-puss.
5/5

GO Oeddy

Graphics were decent as well as sound. There were some pronunciation issues, but I can live with that. Great job!

Otherwise, it was alright, I love this story, and I think it was an alright interpretation overall (especially considering the time constraint)

that sucked

thats not how that story went at all!!!! except the end...that bit was right......but still!!! thats not how it went!!!!

cool one

that was a pretty cool animation. the drawings in this one were very nice, cool audio and it had an interesting idea to it.... a little bit strange, but it was still pretty cool to watch.

alright for a school assignment.

The reason I gave a 0 in style is that I've seen the same circle-headed dot-eyed jerky crappy style in a lot of other submissions by other people. But overall the movie was effective. The suicide-gouging part would have been a good climax to animate.
