Reviews for "Portal : Still Alive"

So happy.

Anyone who docks you on animation obviously didn't watch the trailers and all.
I liked it very much, reminds me of that Royksopp video for their song "Remind Me".
Don't really know what else i could say about improvements... so... good job!

arrr

i was just working on the same movie but with more details and real characters...but then i came here on NG and looked for "still alive" and i found that movie....i was almost submitting when i saw you used the song =(
But good work anyway..u were faster than me...hehe i only got the game like 2 days ago...=)

Heh, funny :)

The cake isn't a lie actually, there is an easter egg. Portal is by far the most original game since the last 3 years. Oh, and nice animation :P

Oggy-cheese responds:

yeah :D i made this before i got the game, now i have the game i know the cake is not a lie :D but i guess it's a quote from the walls.

Typo in hyperlink

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Good use of the case recipe. The hyperlink in your comment does not work if you copy and pasted it because there is a space between the a and t in watch.

Anyway, nice movie!

Oggy-cheese responds:

that is on purpose, newgrounds doesn't let you post links in descriptions, at least it didn't when i first checked, i could try again

Interesting Concept

I like the concept of using the same kind of animation that Valve used themselves in the advertisement of "Portal" and for the most part it worked. But it seemed to me that some of the animation (in terms of style) seemed inconsistent and dry.

For example the characters and rooms were sort of bland and rounded and seemed to fit together, but when you introduced the cake, GLaDOS and other things that weren't originally made by Valve, they just seemed to be too colourful/they just didn't seem to fit for me.

It is a very basic form of animation and it worked well for Valve because they used it in short videos with simple ideas. What you've tried to do is make that animation into a bit of a story which is very difficult to do.

This is all not to say I didn't like it, other than that it was somewhat entertaining, although I would have liked to see more movements/actions associated with the beat/timing of the music.
