Reviews for Memoirs of a Snowman

[xEcilam]

Amazing

Although the mood is pretty depressing and negative for the holidays, it's a pretty good flash. I especially like the music choice, fits well. The colors for the snowman was nice too, instead of pure white; it kept my eyes on him. Good job.

CyanideBreathmint responds:

Well thank you. I wanted to steer away from the generic "happy" holiday flashes and bring something different to the table.

Well made

This turned out really good, you should definitely keep animating.

CyanideBreathmint responds:

Thank you.

touching

A very touching flash which shows how people's mind easily changes and the feeling of being abandoned is very well shown here. Only complaint is the animation looks a bit raw, a bit of 'polishing' will solve this. And a snowman that can smoke menthol cigs? Cool but SO unrealistic.Lol

CyanideBreathmint responds:

A living snowman is also unrealistic, but I think one smoking menthol cigarettes to keep cool is more believable than a regular cigarette. Thanks for the review. I'll work on polishing, I just need more free time.

Good Show

I couldn't take the first part seriously, menthols isn't the most bad ass cig but i get what your saying by it works with the snowman. Good choice in music

CyanideBreathmint responds:

There was a time when you could smoke in bars and diners, while listening to "Tracks and Lines" by Eric Clapton. Sadly, no more.

Thanks

Neat

A neat take on the life of a snowman. I can honestly say I have never seen a snowman commit suicide, let alone hang himself. Just a bit of critique. I noticed that most of the flash were still shots with not a whole lot of animating. The flash seems to carry itself by the music. I don't know whether or not the music is yours, but a bit more animation would make your part shine. Good luck man!

CyanideBreathmint responds:

Thanks. There would have been a lot more animating if I had the time, but I'm supremely busy. Instead I took a Hitchcock approach and ran scenes too long to make it a little more uncomfortable. And the end song is by Gregory Page.
