Reviews for "I Was Almost Murdered"
Really good
That was awesome keep it up i'd like to see more animation like that. nice poem.
when animals strike...
... in the middle of the night. i don't know how many times i've stepped on my dog's or cat's tails and them screaching. and them scaring the be-jesus out of me...
Satans critic-
upon what i have seen here, you have a high standing of talent.
if that was your poem i am prowed to say that you fooled me.
as a poet and a very original artist i would definitly like to see more of your work upon the ranks.
if anything i think you need work on is sound detail, a true pet-peeve of mine is resetting sounds identicle to eachother. if people spent more time on other sounds it would make good flashes even better
i liked this enough to give this an 8/10
i would like to repeat or better this score next flash :)

Glad you liked it! I'm working on another video right now and trying to up the originality and style by using paintings, drawings, and altered photographs for most of the visual aspects of the movie.
Yes, I did write the poem. My friend wrote the original story, but I rewrote it as a poem.
and I hear ya on the sound detail. I actually didn't repeat any sounds, but I used several that were very close to each other, so I can see how they sounded like repeats. but you're right, I really could have spent more time on the sound.
hopefully my next flash will be quite a bit better in looks, sound, and story.
and
Again, very cool.
I love the variety of the animation you do, and This was no exception. The eeire, pencil-like, black and white drawings really set the mood for the movie. The only part I didn't like in the poem was ther line, "Was I on Crack?" It seemed to take away from the mood a bit. Other than that the poem was great. The music fit well, and I loved that sound effect (or it might have been part of the music) during the very beginning and during the line "But with another strange noise I began too.." (or something like that): That high pitch screeching noise really adds to fearful moments, not to mention sounds cool.
So good job on another well made animation and thank you for reading my review that contains probably the biggest run-on in review history.
Later yo.
Matt-Merrill responds:
haha, and thanks again, man for yet another review :) Heh, and you're right about the "was I on crack" line. It was just a cheap joke that didn't really fit. (tho it was just slightly related to a time a while back when I was freakin out one night cuz I thought someone had broken into my house... and long story short, I couldn't sleep afterwards and so I wrote a letter to my girlfriend about the experience and after reading it the next day she said I sounded like I was on drugs)
heh, but glad you liked it and I think I may have just beat your run-on record ;)
