**EDIT**
I made this movie while I was mixed up between Flash groups on Newgrounds. while this is technically my 50th Flash, after deleting my cruddy, pointless work, this Flash turns out to be number 25. I'm leaving the original message up for reference.

This is my 50th Flash submission to Newgrounds. Ive been working on this for about two weeks on and off, and I think it is really special. The song used in this was from a movie I saw in World Geography. As a 13 year old, I have been making passing-work and submitting it to Newgrounds since April of last year, and I never thought I would get to #50 before I turned 14. :-)

"Nothing like the original"

...But that's okay. It's all right on its own. More deliberate imagery would've been nice.

"Sorry"

date: August 7, 2007

Randomly i typed koyaanisqatsi into newgrounds cos im wonderin abt makin a flash about it too :P
Anyway, sorry mate, didnt like the flash, doesn't live up to the title. I saw the effort and what you were tryin to achieve, but the drawings were just bad. Sorry! i also think the audio from the movie itself as opposed to the cleaner version you used in the flash is much better. Gives it more feel.
I don't even kno why im writin this review :) Guess its cos i can relate you. I made a flash that was understated and mysterious and in my oppinion a gud work of art... but did anyone like it? no... check it out if you want, type "Fitter_Happier" into the search thingy :)...
Its almost pointless to try and do serious stuff with flash and submit it for newgrounds... You'll only reach about 10% opf the audience. Although thats also the greatness of it..
Sorry for such along reply, lol, what am i typin :)

Bye!

First of all, I want to congratulate you on your 50th flash. I envy your ability to be able to create decent/good flash at your age. Imagine five years from now?

Anyways, what I loved most about this flash was the choice of music that you picked for it. The art wasn't the best, but it fit the rest of the flash and its weirdness.

Decent/good, job.
