Reviews for Rise of Alfred

[Rudde]

Genious in many ways!

It's realy not often i comment stuff on NG, but when I do, is because I have a realy good reason.

I loved this piece. I f*cking loved! The animation was not superb, but certainly not bad. I think the graphics realy suited the story and concept perfectly. Bold, dark, brutal and psychotic. Style and graphics walked hand in hand. So for the editing and the sounds. It all fitted nicely together. And the choice of music: never wrong with some classical Beethoven. Excellent choice of music, also fitted in nicely.

I loved the brutal and psychotic violence you used. Sweet and mad and soooo spontaneus. And I realy liked the sence of humor. Me and my friends always mess around with dictators and prejudice, my advice: do not go dressed to a school masquerade dressed as a KKK member. The teachers don't like. Specially not mine. ;)

Overall: good story. Nice concept. You realy captured the insanity of a lonesome... dog.

Keep up the lovely work, girl!

Whoa. Heavy.

This was an unabashedly honest look into the dark corners of the psyche, personified by a schitzophrenic dog. He allowed his demons to devour him, but many of us wrestle with those demons as well. Given a taste of power where there was no love before, many folks in those positions have fallen prey to this needyness you've portrayed.
Magnificent caricature.

Hgghoooooo Hgghhhaaaaa (darth vader)

I put a 9 for interactivity because, first of all, it has a play button. Now that's all the interactivity I need for a flash animation! I'm just about tired of those looping videos(unless it's TheWeebl). Plus, Alfred asks you to sing along in this submission!

Well...

I'm sure that when you made this flash, you were expecting wierd comments or comments that started with the words "WOW" or "Holy Shit."

The first thing I was surprised is that the creator was a girl. Not to be sexist or anything, but you expect guys to do these type of things.

I laughed at a few parts. But i stil think "Holy shit" is a good way to put it.
If not, "Holy fucking shit." Anyways, despite your average graphics, story was pretty good and editing was superb.

Got some skill. Put it into work.
10 from me.

Much more than an attempt to shock.

Holy Christ, wow. The editing was incredible, all of the details were incredible, the theme was incredible, the choice of the 7th Symphony was very nearly perfect, the experience was intense, and I think the point gets through very well. I laughed, I grimaced, I felt like crying, I felt sympathy overcome by revulsion at Alfred. I usually hate overly violent clips, but this isn't just violence for the sake of violence. The attempt to exterminate the Hamburger, Hitler setting the bagels on fire, Alfred's head morphing into Hitler's and back near the end (At least I think, it was hard to catch if it was.), there's so much in there and it goes much deeper than just shock value.

Yeah, so, kudos. I didn't think flash could be INTENSE, but you seem to have proven that assumption wrong.

emily-youcis responds:

hurray, you sympathised. that's what i want - i want the people to, despite the fact that he does these horrible things, pity alfred and feel for him. so i am glad that came through.
