A surreal animated music video for the track "Like a Duck", by MC Honky.

It started as just something to mess around with, adding in all sorts of drawings and mixing them up using frame by frame animation and playing with interactions between the images and music. Then it just got bigger and bigger, and now this finished version runs for 4 minutes and 21 seconds.

Please leave me a review letting me know what you think, to me feedback is what this site is all about. I respond to any and all reviews.

I hope you enjoy it!

*edit* I've been told that the sync is out on some peoples computers, and I've had the problem too. It seems to work perfectly on a PC but on a mac the music gradually gets ahead of the animation. If you get to the end and use the scene selection buttons to go straight to one of the later scenes, you'll see that things are much closer in sync. I think it might have something to do with the animation being on 24 fps and the sound running at a different rate, possibly 25fps? If anyone knows a solution, please let me know.

*new edit* I've changed the publishing preferences to increase the quality of the sound, and now the sync is much better. Not flawless but much better. The only catch is that now the file is huge!

"Well..."

What can I really say, except this concept is probably one of the most insane that I've ever seen - abstract to the max, with the theme of small creatures such as ducks and teddy bears.

I think that the piece of music hasn't ever conjured up such an image as this one before and kudos must be given, as you've grabbed this opportunity with both hands and carved yourself out a little niche.

Vibrant colour and a catchy tune have produced one of the true iunderdogs of this year.

Thanks for the kind words, I like the idea of being a niche carver. :D

"A music video"

date: August 17, 2008

That was an amazing looking ,video the tune is catchy with the 1 2 and so on.

Graphics.9/10 Well this is a alot of hard work ,by the animation so much to see. The intro very polished the movie boat. The ducks turning into something the way, the pictures morphed together is astounding. Loads of animation it was hard to work out, what was what.

Sound. 8/10 The music is rather special the tune is memorable ,the voices funny with the man saying odd things. The various sounds in this are many. The tune is very good, the duck theme is good. Maybe sometimes repetive.

This is a highly watchable video ,the FBF look is amazing. The ducks theme is eveidence ,loads of scenes. The beginning my favourite with the red like duck. Many styles of duck. The tune is uniqure colorful and fun it a video, you remember afterwards.

I guess it went on for a little to long, and the tune whilst good. Did get a little stale at times. It repeated alot and the man voice was creepy. The screen looked a little dark.

Ovreall a good music video which enteretained me.

"Pretty decent."

date: August 15, 2008

Animation/Graphics - The animation and graphics were pretty good. They were fun too watch and ran pretty smoothly. I didn't really see too much wrong here if anything. Good job.

Story - Pretty decent. Again, it was a fun submission too watch. Not a story maybe, but not ever flash needs a story. It had pretty good length and everything else was alright.

Audio - The audio didn't always sync up with the flash too well, but it wasn't too bad either. This could of probably been worked on just a bit to make the flash better.

Overall, not too bad, but the timing with the audio could of been a bit better.

I'm working on figuring out how to better sync long streaming audio with the images in my work... Hopefully I've got a solution which works soon.

It's a good flash movie with a funny song and some very good graphics.

Too bad that the music is slightly asynchron at times. But most of the time it seems to be all right.

Sometimes I felt a little bit reminded of Monthy Python. First off all because of the randomness of some parts, and second because of the scenes where one figure opened it's mouth and out came another figure, which opened it's mouth... etc. .
