Im not a good animator. I know that.This is my first animation. But I couldn't just stand here and not do ANYTHING!
Yeah, I probably shouldn't have poor animation on Newgrounds, but...What can I say...?

For those who are sensitive still, I dont blame you. But please don't read the poem.

I don't expect this to pass. In fact, if I were the one to watch this, I'd probably not rate it highly.
But I did take more than a week on this. I don't know what else to say...thanks everyone.

||EDIT||
More than a 3 out of 5 score?! Thanks NG!

"I'll be honest"

date: September 12, 2008

I'll be honest now, this was an absolute waste of space. the first part of it was positive but then the second part was negative and absolutely contradictory to the general feeling. I liked the music at least. the animation was way too choppy, and in general the poem was just bad. typical political crap.

ummm...i appreciate your opinion, but...i don't find the feeling to be mutual...Im not going to dis you because you have anger in your review, because I had said, didn't I, that the poem might have been a bit sad and the animation was pretty dang terrible.
is it not that i can't see 2 different views on 9/11? is it not that i can't try to give my consolations to the sad and encourage the mad to do something? I guess it doesn't matter really...? thanks for being honest though...

"great job"

date: September 11, 2008

I agree the animation isn't bad, but it is nice to see something positive than negative. If I see one more animation with a plane going into the WTC I'm going to scream. I think it is very inappropriate. I am sorry with more time this would be amazing quality.

"It was good,"

by: JV469
date: September 11, 2008

For the animation, it was a little shoddy, but you really got the feelings of it across well. As for the poem, I don't agree with it, but I respect your opinion and I appreciate you not turning it into a rant. It also was a good expression of your feelings, and I enjoyed it.

Author's Response:

Cool, you're more of an adult for not doing a little whiny "why would you do this you insensitive" so and so. But yeah, I will try to work on the animation. Its funny how i could see it with perfect animation and stuff in my head...didn't turn out so well, huh? :)

"Good stuff"

date: September 11, 2008

Good things.

Although some improvements can be had. The animation went much too fast to enjoy, and even more so because of the somber music.

Author's Response:

yeah, I do need to work on the number of frames i have to each piece...I hate to think of future lip-syncing...

:S

"im sad."

date: September 11, 2008

today is a really tragic day in history. i'm glad you made this. even though the animation is a bit dodgey, it still delivers a message.
