NOTE: I realize now that the correct term is indeed an epic poem. I changed the description, but its stuck how it was on the front page. Sorry to bug so many people with that. XD

UPDATE: Wow! Front page! That is so awesome! Thank you so much everyone. :D All your encouragement to continue is really inspiring. It'll certainly be in the back of my mind.

Long time no see!

After reading Dante's Inferno, my school had a "Mosaic Retelling Project", where students chose a part of the book to make an art piece around. Naturally, I wanted my medium to be animation. This animation depicts the very first scene, where Dante wakes up in a strange dark wood. He tries to escape, but is confronted by three horrible beasts. What does he do? Watch and find out!

"A nicely done canto of Dante's Inferno :D"

date: June 12, 2007

First off, to the guy before me, I hope he realizes that this was about Dante's Inferno, NOT Devil May Cry. A classical piece of world literature, not a video game >__> Yes, Dante and Virgil may be in DMC, but the Dante referred to in this Flash is the famous Italian poet Dante Alighieri (who lived in from 1265-1321), NOT the son of a demon and a human mother; furthermore, the Virgil inferenced here is the Roman Poet Virgil (70BC-19BC), NOT Demon Dante's Dad. Summary: This is about Dante's Inferno, NOT ONE BIT about DMC.

Now that the DMC issue is cleared up, I do have to say great job overall. The art was fairly well done and the sound was nearly perfected. I especially like the voice of Virgil. Also it was well-appreciated that you clothed both Dante and Virgil in clothing of their own respective time period--extras like that show a true comprehension of history and an added devotion to your flash that people notice and admire greatly =D

O__O! Nearly forgot. <Insert random beg for a second Canto> =D

"Eien Idiot"

date: March 21, 2007

I apalogize for this in advance but as a person who spent several days understanding the inferno to its fullest how could you make such a screw up (a list of them actually but this one is a major one) ><
She lepord represents lust not fraud. The she wolf is greed and the lion is pride.
All of your other errors are forgiveable but this one is just fatal ><

After that the breakdown.
Graphics - Decent, not overly amazing but good enough
Style - Nothing overly noticble and i guess it works
Sound - Voice acting ok but the music makes it very good.
Violence - not really much
Interactivity - >_> i forgot did this thing have a start button? i forgot
Humor - a bit even though it is broken away from the pages of the inferno.
Overall - this part is effected by your errors... sadly that dragged it down.

Author's Response:

This movie is based off the Mark Musa translation, in which case its 100% true to the poem. Sorry you read a different version.

"awesome..."

date: February 16, 2007

I have just recently ended reading Dante's Inferno... I really liked it. Ah man! I hope you can make a sequel and then go through all of the Divine Comedy or something... that was really cool. These graphics and actually... pretty much everything was how it was supposed to be.

Great job!

(I expect more...)
