Good idea.
I think it is cool to see some interesting historical culture on Newgrounds. Just because it isn't a movie about being a serial killer or drug dealer might piss off the average Newgrounds viewer, but I found it cool. However, you should have used Photoshop to cut off all the excess black background from the head and synced the lips of the statue to the words of the story-- easier said than done though, huh? Haha. Keep up the interesting work, though.
thx for the nice review but i kinda rushed it, i should've done a little more editing (i screwed up with the lip sync and could have livened it up a bit with some more animating, music and backgrounds), but i also didn't want to lose sight of the fact that it is a story. hopefully i'll do better next time, i live and learn everyday...
Too true...
It's a good thing that I didn't heed your asterisked warning (I am 14). Not the greatest quality movie, but I'm in no position to fault you -- I have no aptitude in Flash whatsoever. It's rare to find something on Newgrounds with - gasp! - a moral story AND proper punctuation. Almost unheard of, and pretty daring since it's almost guaranteed to be mocked by the dunderheaded idiots who fit into that "no wisdom at all" category.
well ...
the animation as some problem
the bigest problem is the sync when the statue talks
but the rest is cool
good non violent movie
exelent story
Man...
This is Newgrounds man, not educational movie..forum..site.
does anyone know of an "educational movie..forum..site" that i could submit movies like this too?
Not bad...
It's good for what it was intended to do, and the story was told well. The music was a bit repetative, though. I noticed at one point one of the text paragraphs didn't synch up with the speech, which is something you should have weeded out before submitting this. Finally, the background is good, but what would have been better is a few different backgrounds that would fade in for each part of the story.
