Whoa Goodness...
It has a sad feel to it, but not the *right* feel, you know? It ends too abruptly, the graphics aren't great, but you could still work at it.
Reviews for "MD Virginia Tech Tribute"

Yes, I felt I was going somewhere with it but I didn’t know exactly how to end it, probably why it ended the way it did. Thank you for the review!

^^Good Points^^
A lot of pictures in here, most of which were decent quality. I also liked how you went from picture to picture.
^^Needs Improving^^
Honestly I don't like the whole tribute Flash thing. It's basically just an opportunity for people to get sympathy votes. This is no different, the filesize was huge for what was offered, and its basically just your average, generic tribute movie with a few pictures and sad music added.
Oh boy! You totally deserve the 3.5+!!!
NOT. Oh hey, looks like you went into windows movie maker (or cue equivalent shitty movie editing program), typed some shitty text straight from the bible, and imported some fucking images from google search/virginia tech website.
Yeah, cause that's animation, right? Because a stupid-ass slideshow with more wipe-transitions than star wars episode 3 is totally deserving of a good score on an animation website?
Hah. You're just exploiting the average user who will feel bad or immoral if he gives you a bad score.
Now, I know you're going to (or if I hadn't said the following you would have) interpreted this as me saying that I don't give a shit that people died. That's not true. I simply think if you actually want to do them justice, you should put some effort forth and make an actual animation instead of a fucking slide show.
Besides, what about all that shit with the static bible text? What if a bunch of the people that died were atheist and would be offended that you were forcing your prayer and religion upon their memory?
Hows about next time you actually include at least the tiniest bit of animation instead of a windows movie maker slide show.

Well, in response to this I can only say this.
If you really want to bash this you have the right to, I am defending that freedom daily since I am a member of the Armed Forces (Army if you really must know).
I did use Windows Movie Maker to do this film, I never called it a flash nor an animation. It is simply a tribute to those who actually did lose their lives that day and for those mourning the lose of there loved ones. I’m sorry I’m not the all powerful animator you must be since you had a big huffy about it anyways… I’m only learning flash right now, and I know that the WMM would be much easier for me to use in a short period of time. I’m sorry that I really have no artistic ability at all, so sue me… Not everyone is granted that ability so we can only compromise with what I can do.
I am a Christian and I am not pushing my religious beliefs on anyone. I am simply expressing my religion freely, (which is still legal these days). Just because someone is not a Christian does not mean I can not pry for them. I’m sorry if I offend anybody, but you do have the right not to watch this also. I did not put a gun to you head and make you watch it!
I’m sorry you feel the way I do, but if you felt the way that I do, then you just might understand…
VTECH JUST KICKED IN, YO.
Ins't it funny how nothing ever gets this kind of attention (Flashes and topics everywhere) unless it's in America? People died. It happens all the time. Why do people flashes for the families of 33 people when things that are alot worse happen elsehwere all the time? Oh wait, It's in AMERICA! Just like 9/11! This means it should be remembered for YEARS and no one can EVER take the piss out of it. Everyone has to make topics. I mean, it was in AMERICA.
Chechyna gets invaded. Iraq gets invaded. Diplomacy in the Middle East is fucked up. A school in Beslan gets fucked up. No real attention. 33 people. (THIRTY. THREE. ZOMG.) die in America and everyone cries.
On that day 33 Americans died. On that day I lol'd.
In before flames etc.

You know, I’m sorry you feel that way. I AM AN AMERICAN AND I SUPPORT MY COUNTRY AND FELLOW COUNTRYMEN! I have the right in this country to express myself, and I will do so as I please! I never said you have to watch my film, I never forced you to click the play button! Just because you may have no sympathy for you own people (considering the way it was written, I only assume you are from somewhere else) does not mean Americans can’t!
