Reviews for "Filtered Reality"

Real nice.

I really enjoyed it. Usually the only time you see a flash like this, the artist announces he was smoking when he made it :) it's nice to see someone dream something so interesting, and recreate it, which I'm sure must have been a hard process. Certain dreams I've had that I want to remember sometimes just draw a blank in my head. It must have been heck to pull all this out of it. The animation was great, and the sound quality was decent. I have no idea what it was about, but here's my 2 cents on the weirdest dream I've had. Basically, I met this really awesome and bizarre girl, and we hit it off (which is hilarious, cause I was 14 at the time). She took me out (in a limo?!), and we drove to someones house. We drove over big hill, which was in between two small mountains. One had a sign on it I couldn't read because I was in a pulled out perspective. There was no one there, and we went inside. There was a phone, possibly on the floor, or on a stand. I believe I called home. Then (I completely forget the conversation if there was one), we went back into the car, and got into the back. I am almost sure there was a chauffeur, even though I don't remember seeing him. The scene switches, and we are pulling into a house I lived in in my real life. For some reason, I was angry, and I stormed inside. Now, the dream gets really fuzzy. I remember talking to her. I believed she soothed me. And then, blank. But it wasn't the end. It's like my brain was being blocked out. And then, I saw one of two things. I remember both of them, but I'm not sure which one came first. But I believe the sign was first. I closed in on it, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't there in the physical sense. That sign scares the ****ing **** out of me. I don't remember what was on it. When I think of it, I see a blank sign. The only thing I remember about the words is that the words were in red letters. All I know is that it was terrifying. My heart skipped 2 beats. The last thing I remember is two beings wearing masks looking down at me. I want to know what that dream means so bad. The oddest thing is that it was in first person and third. And I swear to god I was consiously awake, but in my subconcious as well. Thorough the dream I would switch perspectives. But, when I saw the sign, they came togethor. All the peices combined, and it may sense. It was the scariest moment of my life. But, then I lost it. It's almost like the beings took out parts of my memory. Weird, huh?

Wow

I had that dream once maybe alittle different but almost the same
nice work on the flash

nice dream

that means you must get over your fears and find a path of your own instead of following someone else path .. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN HUH ? ^^

excellent

i do hope you captured your dream close to how it happened in your head. if you didn't it was still enjoyable to watch.

as for what it might mean:
you're watching yourself live life, but not really living it. you're following the path laid out for you... probably by someone else. you see the world around you as meaningless, or fake. shallow, and unvaluable. not worth interacting with. not worth your time. you run through, hoping to find something new, something better, but all that does is give you an encounter with something worse: stress, anxiety, fear. pressure. expectations you're not sure you can meet. but you'll do your damndest. you don't want to get caught. you don't want anyone to realize you're just doing the motions, and not really paying attention to your own life. you see an end to it all, and you're pushing hard for it. all you want is something real, some breathing room in your life... but when you get there... you realize it's not complete. it's empty, just like the rest of your life. but at least it's safe, right?

suggestion: interact with your world. pay attention to your life. it only happens once, and when you miss it... you miss it. have a real conversation with your friends, your family, your co-workers. go for a walk in the park, and pay attention to the depth of things. touch the trees, put your feet in a cold river. stop treating the world like some fake thing you want out of. yeah, there's bullshit, but once you're through that, reality doesn't really change much.

breathless

i was expecting this to be some bad flash that magically made it onto the front page and when i heard the narration i feared my assumptions were true but then as the flash progressed i became more comfortable with the narration and graphics which would have otherwise discomforted me. the ending and how well written the lines were was absolutely beautiful i mean they really made you think. excellent job!!!
