Score: 9
"Impressive"
date: October 4, 2008
For the type of work you were trying to achieve here, you've already mastered all of the flash skills you need to reach your goal. So, on technique and ability, I cannot rate you anything but perfectly. You do everything you need to do flawlessly from that standpoint. So, that really breaks down reviewing your piece to whether I liked your style, and whether I liked you music, rather than being able to critique you from a technical standpoint.
As for style, you certainly have a very unique one, which, as previosuly mentioned, fully exploits your ability in flash. And as it is rich in symbology, it is a different flash for every person; whether they decide for it to be a series are pretty scnenes or to have a deeper meaning being entirely up to them. On style, I rate you a 10.
As for your choice of music, it flows masterfully into the flash (or perhaps it is more accurate to say your flash flows perfectly into the music) and breathes life into the imagery. The two are synced perfectly, leaving no annoying belches in the animation in which the two do not harmoniously conincide. On music, I give you a 10.
The only thing that I see as bringing your score down to the 9 I awarded you is the lack of replayability for me. Yes, it's lovely. Yes, the music is nice, deep and calming. But once you have seen this a couple times, yu've about seen it as much as you need to. Not a bad thing. And probably not something you can avoid.
Overall, you have presented an amazing piece with excellent style, wonderful flow, and appropriate choice in music. I have nothing to offer you to better this as it is entirely up to you to decide where to take your style. I do, however, look forward to future submissions where you evolve and discover where you want to take your artistic direction. A truly marvelous piece, miss.
