Holy cow.
You have some talent. One of the most intriguingly detailed flash animations I have seen in a long while. The voice acting was some of the best I've heard in flash, and everything about it just felt so professional.
Reviews for "NYMUG"
Its good to see...
to see someone willing to take a bullet for their Mac- you don't get that kind of love with Windows (and their users) lol ..good story
Really nice work
Excellent art and animation, a really professional job. Only one criticism... the story has a Mac TV commercial quality which I didn't care for. I use Macs, I like them, but I don't like their commercials (remember that moron standing in a white room - "I had this PC which, like, ate my homework? And like I didn't know how to turn it on, you know?") The character in your movie isn't as stupid as her, but he's still a little slow (uh, how about putting your precious computer in a bag, Einstein?) and rather dull, and won't stop talking about his computer (ok, you love your Mac, we get it.)
But still, great job working with this material. I think your skills are solid.

It is no coincidence that the cartoon seems to have that "Mac TV commercial quality"--my original intention for the project was to pitch it to Apple to use at as an intro for Steve Jobs's keynote address in their final NYC Macworld Expo. Unfortunately, that ended up going nowhere. Also, the original interview was actually 30 minutes long, most of which was NOT Mac-hugging chatter, and I cut that down to just 90 seconds with a real Macintosh slant. And, believe it or not, Heath's Mac actually was in a bag on the subway! But that didn't work visually for the animation, so I edited out that detail in his narration. Other than that, the story is 100% true. Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
very impressive, very professional
i liked it. Im also from Kentucky altough I dont talk like that or live on a farm. I live in the suburbs but there are parts like that. True Story really?
