Reviews for "The Air We Breathe"
creepy
dude, this kinda creeped me out, i'm sorry, but it wasn't as direct as it could have been, and the black and white, makes the black look like blood..... so eh..... yeah, very creepy.
not "artsy" enough
A lot of folks are complaining about this being too "artsy". I think they are ineffectually saying that your vid is disconnected. There doesn't seem to be a unifying "theme" or underlying "thesis" to this work beyond "modernization = bad".
Some things I didn't like:
The lungs in the x-ray sections aren't "breathing". This may be on purpose or it may be laziness.
Moths coming out of old factory. Sure, moths symbolize decay -- but isn't the rest of this vid about modernization as both functional & malignant? Wouldn't a decaying factory be a good thing?
The "sparkle trees". Why are the trees sparkling? For a moment I thought this was an allusion to rorschach and psychology - but I quickly dismissed it.
Things I liked:
I like society as a set of staticy cogs.
I like that the emergency vehicle is spinning in circles and impotent.
I like the burning christmas trees because they hit at two levels - both the destruction of the environment through deforestation and the destruction of the self through over-commercialization and mass society.
All in all, the images used were loosely held together. It seemed like you didn't entirely know where you wanted to go with your theme. Perhaps that was part of your point ... modernization has led to a society in dissarray in which the symbols we use are both random and meaningless?
Good animation. Photos were well done. Thought there should be a bit of color here and there. Grainy black&white photos are SO 1996 :D. I liked it but probably won't watch it again.

Thanks a lot for your constructive review:)
A great creative flash no matter what any one says
I don't know what some of the *** hats are complaining about but this is a really great flash, great ideas, great creativity, great story, great pictures, and great work. I also thought the music tied in really great even though it wasn't my particular style.
Foxcato responds:
