Reviews for Out Of Control

left side of chest...

ow...

i think sometimes it's enough just to know that people can feel so intensely for each other even though it's just a cartoon. i like alive better, but alive made me feel good afterwards. this one just hurt. the music was enough to bring me to the verge of tears before i even figured out what was going on. they say nothing is more powerful than love; although sometimes i hear that hate or jealousy or fear rivals it. all of these things are emotions. humanity's biggest strength and weakness. and your strength =P your flashes are always so emotinal. keep it up.

AloneInTheDark responds:

Thank you alot. What i find so fascinating about alive is how some consider the ending happy and some consider it sad. This flash has it kind of also.

Omg, I almost cried...

Wow... You know, I refuse to admit that there are many superior artists on this site. You are by and large one of the best I've ever seen. This piece is so incredibly moving, and I honestly almost cried. (which is quite a feat, I don't cry for some reason.) I'm really glad to see that there are people out there in the world that can still move people with something so simple, something so incredibly simple, that it's incredibly complex, and easy to grasp all at the same time.
Thank you once again for moving me.

AloneInTheDark responds:

Thanks, im honored :)

good storyline

I think that your audio and your animation went well together i paticularly liked how when the girl is hit by the car the whole song changes from then on and it just works perfectly on that scene, the audio really makes you feel that somethings gone wrong.
In terms of the technical points, i think that your linework could be cleaned up. Your perspective choices were well chosen and a more delicate handling of the linework would have helped wrap this piece up nicely.

AloneInTheDark responds:

Thanks alot for the review Luis. Sometimes you just imagine an entire movie in your head while listening to a song, right? That was the case with this one. I am personally very proud of how the flashback scenes came out. The artwork isnt that good, i know. Fortunately i improved a bit on that area! Take care

wow

That went deep. Nicely done, expecally since it's one of your first flash movies. I saw Renaissance some time ago and from just seeing these two I can tell that you have a talent with hitting inner feelings. Great work.

AloneInTheDark responds:

merci beaucoup :)

Amazing, you gotta be kiddin about ur 1st flash

It took me a while to grasp this, but it hit me like a stone block in the head when it did. There's only one true love in your life, if it goes, what is the point of living in the cold world we know? Why live the bitter years of tourment when we prematurely taste death than just get it over with?... Absolutely fabulous. This kinda reminds me of the day I got back from school one day when I was in 4th grade, usually my dog would sit on the couch looking out the window at me, but he wasn't. Curious about why he wasn't there, I went inside to see him wrapped in a blanket. I was thinking "No... he isn't gone, is he?" thank God I'm way over it now, but a few days after that when I was coming home from school again my parents weren't home and I found myself thinking: "At least I'll have Spunky (the dog) to be there with me," but then instantly realized that was the reason I was alone. Your movies has moved me. Only suggenstion is you should get to know the characters a bit before they meet, so maybe a clip of Anna here before they meet, and the same with the nameless boy, just to add to the emotion. Nevertheless a great flash.

(BTW sorry my sentences are kinda flowing like diarrhea but I'm not good at putting my thoughts down flowingly =P)

AloneInTheDark responds:

Thanks for the cool review. I know, im not goot at putting my thoughts down in words either. Im better at drawing what i think/feel
