Well, part of me can't believe I'm finally submitting this. This is the first serious bit of flash I have ever forced myself to pull together. This video is important to me, because it's more than just a silly clip, it's very much a part of who I am as a person. I hope that you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed making it. (please submit this to the music video collection.)

edit: daily 2nd ? thank you newgrounds! <3

"Great animation."

by: Aderta
date: August 20, 2009

It was a great style, that fit the song quite well. But what i noticed with your style, is that you have great potential, and can build a great scene, but you dont do much with it. You spend a bit creating the picture, but thats it. Im not saying your whole animation is like this, but certain parts are.

Overall it was a wonderful creation. I like your style :D

"awsome"

date: May 13, 2009

This was awsome and I liked the feel. The song was great aswel.

Liked the black and white pallet and the animation was fluid.

But you still have a long way to go in the flash world, in terms of drawing, not saying i'm any better lol.

Keep up the good work, this was nice.

Oh yeah, and ure friend advertised this to me :D

"Holy Crap"

date: April 26, 2009

To be honest, this is a remarkable flash. The animations were fluid, the song enthrawling and the colour pallete a wonderful choice. You have molded an idea, a message of strong individual resistance and personal identification into a perfectly directed flash. Not many can do that, nor do it so well. Every portion of your animation is dripping with symbolism to re-inforce the strength of your message - the roots, the birds, the lighthouse. The heart.

This is a great, uplifting work that clearly says that 'Despite what you all think, I'm still here. I do know who I am and I do like that'. Simply wonderful. If I were to say one thing in the negative to this inspirational work, it would be that it moved your heart too much.

And maybe in the part with the rain you could move the hooded figure infront of the layer with the puddles. :P

<3 Thank you.

"Really nice stuff"

date: April 11, 2009

Your artwork and transitions between sketches were really good. It hasn't got a clear-cut plot, nor does it have the best artwork in the world, but it had artistic vision, and I think it's one of those things that could have a hundred different meanings, you just need to replay it and replay it and replay it.
Nice work. Be proud.
