Reviews for "SMOKESUIT -TheBigSurprise"

Man..

The artwork and style of the entire animation is fantastic. It was well thought out, well done, and well directed.

But I'm getting drained by seeing this theme of suicide and self-contempt continue to pop up. Since when was it cool to kill yourself?

SecretSecretary responds:

I dont think its cool.
I think its pretty sad.
This video stresses all of this with the ending where the spirit exits its body and realises how broken it is because of its past actions in its previous incarnation... but you can see it any way you like.
Thanks for all the compliments!

Very good work

I think that your flash was very good and a great way to express yourself. I thought how you showed it was new and interesting to me keep up the good work

SecretSecretary responds:

Thank you. Great that you found it fresh and original. That's always a big compliment! :)

not bad

i dont really like the music................for some unknow reason.maybe i just dont like that type of music.but all in all u did awsome job on mix the cartoon with that music.i mean the timing is nearlly perfect.like milk and cloclate.one more thing that monster like one of those from slient-hill movie =)

SecretSecretary responds:

Thanks. I loved the Silent Hill movie, and even though I didn't try to make him look like anything in particular, maybe my subconscious did that, but its very very cartoonish compared to Silent Hill. :)

i must say

i like your stilo very clean i love the colors and the black is always fun to work with . a little confusing at times but very well directed. the music didnt do it 4 me at all really - but it went well with the imagery excuse my english . bha by

SecretSecretary responds:

thanks

Nice

The song sucked, the band has a very unoriginal sound...could be one of twenty popular rock bands out now. I haven't heard this particular band before, but I've heard this sound before. I just have to turn the radio on, and there it is.

The flash itself was largely a treat to watch, though. I thought the imagery matched the music very well, and it was expressive where the song was not. I didn't care for the singer being shown, or the "beast of sorrow" singing the vocals at the end, but that's mostly something I dislike in music videos. To me, a video should be a visualization of the song, and if that's just singing the song, then there really isn't any body to the song. Art should (IMO) invoke images and feelings...it should be expressive beyond the surface. The flash in this piece, for the most part, is very artistic, and I like it. The song, definately not.

SecretSecretary responds:

Thanks. There is a reason why the ''beast of sorrow'' (hehe) sings along at the end. Listen to those words, and then think who he would be singing it to. He (the spirit) blames the girl (his previous incarnation) for his broken form, when in fact its just himself he is angry with, and has to continue existence and take responsibility for his previous actions, especially his last action. Sometimes there is a reason for things, but sometimes its just there to be cool, and so what? This is just my interpretation, and you can take it however you like. Nice that you enjoyed this video, and thanks for the long review! :)
