Music video tribute to goto80’s catchy song „Comsten“. WARNING! Don’t watch this if you are an epileptic because it will give you seizures without a doubt. If you think you are strong enough watch the video with your lights off (I couldn’t handle it in full screen and lights off). It took me more than 2 years to finish this video and I am rather surprised it took me that long and I am glad (and a bit proud of myself) I am finally done. I picked this song because 1) it’s catchy as hell 2) I love it 3) goto80 rocks 4) chiptunes rock in general 5) I always wanted to animate a song but they were all too long so I am surprised one of the shortest songs I could find still took me that long 6) the song is just so full of power and it doesn’t have any lyrics which tell me what’s going on so I could illustrate and animate whatever I felt like was going on in the song. A big reason why it took me so long could be because Adobe Flash can be (and actually is) pretty buggy so a big NO THANKS to Adobe for selling overpriced software that’s full of bugs. Visit www.goto80.com (He did the awesome song. I only did the crappy animation) if you enjoy great music. If you want to contact me you can send me a message (PM) on Newgrounds, myspace http://www.myspace.com/markp0rter or Deviant Art http://markp0rter.deviantart.com/ . If you are into Instant Messaging (I’m sorry but don’t ask me anything about programs and how to do stuff. I am only fine with talking about music, movies, video games and other chitchat) you can contact me via AIM: MarkP0rter or MSN: Mark.P0rterAThotmail.com (replace the AT with @ and bear in mind it’s NO email address). Enjoy the video :)

It is very nice & sympathetic and you often choose very nice CHIP/SIDS to your artwork! =)

I also like the cat in the flash avatar, as we spoke about your MSN avatar cat, which I really think is nice too! =)

See you!

"okay"

date: November 27, 2006

it was an alright animation. the graphics were okay and the song was cool too, i think that the animation itself could've used some more work to it... did you seriously work 2 years on this one? this one is also your 1st animation as well... if you are having difficulties, i would suggest checking out some tutorials in order to help you. they should be able to assist you.

"eh, its alright"

date: November 26, 2006

did that really take you two years to finish?

Author's Response:

It’s probably embarrassing to admit this and I am surprised myself but it seriously took me two years. Of course I didn’t work on it every day because I am a slacker but still it took a lot of time because I wanted the animations to fit to the music and be synchronized and I had to deal with a lot of Flash issues. Anyways doing music videos is a pain in the ass in my opinion. I am always surprised how many people actually create flash music videos because I find them to be way more harder and time consuming than doing a flash with dialogs and a story (which doesn’t mean music videos don’t have a story but you get what I am trying to say).

"Let me guess... GarageBand?"

date: November 26, 2006

Graphics: You're good at drawing kitties!

Style: Erm... original... a music video full of sguigly faces/eyeballs/etc. that may provoke seizures....

Sound: Meh....

Interactivity: The image that you put on (the crazy kitty) was fun to push.

Humor: The kitties. Oh yes, and the randomness.

Overall: A 4/5. Better than most submissions to the portal.
