If only it were so simple. That you could show the real meanig of life with one simple painting.
A painting that inspires others. Inspires others of making their own paintings, that will eventually inspire you again... If only it were so simple. That we could give a smile to every sad and miserable person. And when you're sad, they will cheer you up with their smiles. If only it were so simple...too bad it's always going to be a dream.

This is my first submission...I've worked like 4 days on this movie, and I like the result.
I've always wanted to make a serious flash movie with a meaning, but couldn't get any inspiration.
But when I heard the song 'Arlulu' by Sevanimation, I started immediately!
This movie, is about our world without any colour.
A boy then draws a painting, that will change the world and his own life forever!

"Very nice!"

The animation could do with some work, but I like your message and use of music. You are good at conveying emotion and meaning. I look forward to working with you on the Asturias Collab. One thing I noticed, which made me think you weren't being sincere:
S mile
E njoy
I nspire
L ive
Reverse the first letters and you realise what those teachings are. :P

"ummm..."

okay, 1 thing u need 2 do is dig deeper into the negative spirit so that the main purpose of the flash is revieled.

My suggestion, be sure and add something in that conveys that the only real garuntee in this life is that u will die and that since this is so we mustsn't go about wasting it on petty little things.

P.S. this is my general philosophy.

"reminded me of the compser"

date: January 20, 2008

Thise was a clever spin off of The Composer by Jazza with yo own style

Author's Response:

Hey MethodMan21 !
I love "The Composer" by Jazza.
That movie inspired me a lot.
But I didn't really had the intention to make a flash movie based on The Composer.
I just came up with the idea of another guy with a painting, because people have to inspire each other. Maybe I got that idea of the composer in my subconsciousness.
I hoped you liked it, and thanks for watching!

but still cool tough.. :)

Author's Response:

I really want to make flash movies, that have a beautiful meaning.
This was my first one and I'm very happy, some people liked it.
And I'll work on my drawings!
I hope you'll watch my next submission (that I'm still working on) too.
The drawings are a lot better.
Thanks for your review!

the drawings are simple, but the music and the story are outstanding. great job and i hope you get better on your drawings and animation

January 22, 2008

Author's Response:

Yeah, I hope I'll get better too.
It really needs some improvement!
The moment I heard the song by Sevanimation, I thought:
" I'm going to make a flash movie, using this song!".
So I did, and it turned out like this.
And I'm happy, that you liked the story!
Thanks you for your review!
