"What to say?"
date: July 10, 2007
I am writing a review cos you asked for one at the Review Club.
This is primarily a Flash site and Tom specifically asks us NOT to submit slideshows without animation in the submission notes.
Try to put yourself in the shoes of the outside world here. Mostly no-one wants to be mean to someone making a respectable, heart felt tribute, but you wanted a review and the RC contains mostly honest reviewers:
After the first six or so photo's, realising they are mostly all the same it was totally boring.
One flag drapped coffin looks much like another to me.
For this to have any real interest it would have to have some info with it. to do well in my books it would have to do something more than show photos anyone could collect together.
Having said all that, theres nothing wrong with it as a tribute slideshow- nice pics; nice, apt music; nice timing, but too long.
Am I making any sense here? I really don't want to come across as mean.
We get slideshow tributes all the time, after every major incident in the world.
I don't much like the photo with the prisoner in it. Even with his back to us I don't think its very cool on an international site.
Try to imagine this was made by someone about the Iranian army or something and you were asked to review it. Then you might get me better.
Best Wishes,
Ice
