Reviews for Confinement +

[Miggs]

Intruiging, which is the point, I suppose :D

The flick does make me wonder as to its meaning. Though I think the term "confinement" comes off a little intellectually abrasive, as if it were a short film for a college course.

I would also shy away from defining your animation as being "metaphoric" and "meaningful", for it makes one sound pretentious. Not that being pretentious is a bad thing, narrative film is inherently pretentious if it's not a documentary. But it does make one sound as if they think their shit doesn't stink.

Overall it is a very well animated piece that displays some believable emotion through the character's physical performance and manerisms. I have to say I enjoyed it, though I feel that the title raises its nose above the audience a bit.

"atleast to me"
The description on the front page was changed from what I originally put. Which wouldve made even less sense (mainly because I never thought it would be put up there). lol

Thanks.

Freedom...

It is strange that this contry(USA) is not as free as it should be. It is even stranger when those who live under opression appreciate the freedoms we take for granted. Your animation shows how great the feeling of freedom is until real life confines you into a box of limited mobility and leg room.

Liquidsword responds:

Yeah kind of pessimistic, but its definitely not fake. Thanks.

Pretty good.

I liked the basic storyline and the music. I thought that the amimation ran smoothly through the whole thing, but I thought that the character could have been more detailed. Also, I thought that it could have been a bit longer.

a or b

I think i've narrowed it down to two possibilites, a. It's a statement about solipism and how freedom is all in the mindstate, you could be in the tiniest box but feel as free as an eagle had you the will power. or b. You could be mistakenly thinking your free when the entire sky youve been flying in is just a small box. either way, great animation

Liquidsword responds:

That second meaning is a really interesting take on it.

You know, I bet that if you gave this to my English teacher, she would analyze it to DEATH. What does the flying mean, what does the box mean, why does it all happen... Basically, you've created something with more meaning behind it than we ever really need, and that's not a bad thing by any stretch.

I loved the art style and the music. Still, I would have liked to have seen more before the end. For example, flying someplace exotic or changing shape or something, I dunno.
