* Daily 4th- fucking sweet!!
* I streamed the music so it sync's now.

This animation was made for my final piece for my art work in college under the title 'abstraction'.
It was done in an art exam which lasted for exactly 15 hours (three sittings of 5 hours) so this was finished in three days.
I know its not too abstract but I just went into the exam not knowing what to do and decided to create this, Ive always wanted to experiment using both flash and stop-motion as well as creating a skateboarding animation which isn't just about tricks.
There are lots of different techniques used throughout so watch till the end.

My mate Howli made the music again, check it out, its in the audio portal!

Groovy.

"You have matured a lot!"

date: May 10, 2008

Hey MRAW, Its me Shadow_Fox_Ninja, and I reviewed most of your other flashes (go reread them) and I just want to say this is the best thing you hav e done so far. YOu have matured as an artist, not only in the flash field, but in the expressive arts as well. Symbolism, tone, and voice all permeate this piece of visual rhetoric. I really have to revuiew this not as a flash movie, but as a novel, or essay. It goes beyond simple drawings and becomes its own entity: a masterpiece. Hopefully your instructor gave you a perfect score because in my opinion this is perfect. The fbf is like looking at the matured guy that you used to know as a child. It still retains the same style that you had, but on a much greater level. Beautifully in sync with the music, this piece is magnificent. As you can tell I am simply amazed. Stupendous job. Please by all means continue to devote your skills to the arts because flash movies like yours are the driving force that keep this medium alive. Thank you

"Little summary:"

date: May 6, 2008

The mix between stop-motion and FbF was something I've never experienced before. You did not only prove that those two fit well, but in fact, you've created a whole new style. The music was well fitting, though I think there was a little delay at the end: I would've liked it better if the music went to it's 'hard-moment' when the board cracked, this would've brought an even better shock. Though overall, the music was well fitting. I'm really glad you can actually see you enjoy skating thanks to this flash.

As for your exam... I think you should wait before you see the others of your class, there is no need to worry about it now. I'm quite sure most used the traditional 'line-FBF', if you know what I mean. While this is also abstract, it's overdone. Your flash however, as titles Dreamboarding, is dream-ish. Dreams are abstract, last time I checked... ;) I think you'll be just fine, good luck with your exams, and of course, I hope to see more of you.

Cheers,

Yeah the music was supposed to sync with the board snap but the music wasnt on stream, ive changed it now.
I agree with you, the 'single line' fbf stuff is waay overdone, I had to fill out the length and join some scenes together though :D
Glad you enjoyed it overall,
Cheers for the review!

"Crazy! :D"

Really good animation, everything was very smooth, the FBF was just insane and I really like how you used the background. This is a very original skate animation and I really like it. The way you draw the trucks, the way the board crashes, everything is just perfect!

About the music, it's really great. Respect for your mate Howli, I really love it! It fits good with the animation.

I hope you got a high score for your exam cuz you really deserve it with such a great flash!

Thanks bertn!
Yeah I thought that the music went well, I was considering using 'Pink shotglasses' instead cos its more dreamey but I liked this one better.
Im not sure I will get such a high grade as my title was 'abstract' and this is hardly abstract atall. Oh well, I had fun making this and am pleased with the result.

thanks for the review

I like it... very good animation.. for a moment I thought that this was made in real paper, frame-by-frame style.. and simulate that effect is very hard, I suppose, so congratulations...

too bad I ain't very high to see this.. maybe later aahhaha :p

thanks, some of it is paper fbf but most of it is either flash or cutout animation.
Glad you enjoyed it, have fun with the herbs ;)
