This is a personal project that started out as a pointless romp which ended up as something that I had to put a considerable amount of thought into.

I don't know.

It can still seem pointless to you.

and, the text isn't necessarily supposed to be read, but you can if you want.

"I like this"

date: June 2, 2008

I'm surprised this only got 2000+ views, it deserves more. It's subliminal and text heavy, but not in a way where it forces you to read it. I think the delivery is very interesting, since it offers you a glimpse into things, but it doesn't stay in one spot for long. This is a good thing, keeps it interesting. A pause feature would've helped for those of us who wanted to read those interesting little blobs of text, but it's fine either way. I like that you involved some actual flash animation in this, most people who do this sort of text and image heavy subliminal stuff don't do that, it's a good thing. Keeps it varied. In any case, good work, I enjoyed it.

"Amazing"

An excellent movie, well worthy of it'sdaily prize.

Graphically, the whole presentation of this flash is amazing. Using complex metaphores to portray what you're trying to get accross. And you do this excellently. The amount of effort to draw some of those scenes must have taken weeks.

THe sound fitted perfectly, everything seemed to just work with the sound happening in the back ground. Great selections.

Overall the message you tried to get accross seemed to be beautifully translated, and excellently done. I thank you for making and sharing it with the public. Great job

"Excellent"

date: May 18, 2008

At first I'd thought there were a few glitches, but.. I guess not. The music was in perfect synchronisation with the frames, and the animation was simply outstanding.

I liked the way some parts of this progressed easily, especially toward the end. Nice choice of music, by the way.

The overall message is unclear to me after seeing all those smaller thoughts.
At some parts I really felt like closing the window, it seemed to drag on forever. Some parts could be made a little faster, but I guess it doesn't matter. I mean, usually, I always try to watch a flash through to the end for a full evaluation, and I was able to this time.
Again, brilliant animation with good ideas and progression. Excellent!

"Very complex"

date: May 17, 2008

This was totally complicated and werid i did not understand hardly any of it. The main problem the length numerous things did happen ,but none of it makes any sense to me. Although i did try very hard to understand. The part with the upside down letters seemed to me to be pointless, and have no point really. I did not like the music it was loud and ruined the first bit.
This did have some good bits the stick figure towards the end with the words , and animation looked reallly clever and i liked the bird flying.

Overall this made no sense i can see you put a alot of hard time, and effort but the whole movie. Was lost on me maybe if i understood what this was about

"Beautifully Vague"

This flash explains so much, but in the end I find myself asking further questions. Some of the things that you've said make perfect sense, like the cynicism animation. Is that a cynic's view of cynicism, or is it a realistic viewpoint?

The way that you used the focus to your advantage paid major dividends in this flash - you've made this into such an artform that with certain degrees of focus softening, some of your drawings (The Chain-link fence, for example) looked like photographic stills. This has also been enhanced by your introduction of real photographs into the mix as well - smart move :)

To take this forward, I'd suggest that you work on your 'mainstream' animation front, concentrating more on your stickmen, which look reasonably poor, compared to your backgrounds, as this could be your next step forward with Flash.
