Reviews for ""Strange Fruit""

It's an excelent first flash, but...

Ok, at first glance, I know right away people are going to be like, "wtf, only 7 out of 10, this is amazing!" First, I'd like to say that the flash is very enjoyable, and that I personally liked it, however, it doesn't seem like it would have been difficult to animate so to speak. Now, this isn't to say I think you put a lot of effort into the flash, because your art shows that you clearly put your heart and soul into it, but the flash in and of itself doesn't really reflect that. There is minimal actual movement in the flash, which is a shame, because you could have done so much more in my opinion. Also, I would like to point out that just because something is "moving" or "touching", that doesn't make it quality work on the animator's part. As he said, and gave credit to the original artists, this artist did NOT create the song, or come up with the concept. He merely put the picture to it.

Now, despite my negativity, I'm not saying that overall this is a bad flash. It is very good. I enjoyed the artistry a hell of a lot, and I think you did a fantastic job. I believe that this is far better than anything I personally could have come up with, but that's because I personally have no artistic talent. For those who will label me a hypocrite, no kidding. My first flash SUCKED. I'm not saying it didn't. But what I am saying, is that this flash has a ton of potential, that should rightfully be pursued. I am also saying that while this production is extremely well done, it does not deserve perfect scores from everyone. Those things being said, here are my point scores-

Artistry: 10/10
Animation: 5/10
Audio: 9/10
Originality: 5/10
Overall Enjoyability: 8/10
Average Rating: 7.3

Wow

This is very deep and very soulful. The art with its scratchy look was a good choose for this work.

Very touching...

I remember hearing this song about a year ago, and I skim past the front page submissions and see this. I didn't think it was the song, but it was it. And this flash complemented it perfectly. Very good flash.

First flash?!

Holy sh*t! That's amazing! Very good meaning, deep and truthful in this. Visuals and use of Blur for a DoF effect really drove it home, and made it seem professional! 5/5 9/10 (because the singer's voice was a bit grating at times =P )

Moving...simply moving

that was very touching... depressing but for a good reason. Great choice of song and i hope to see more from you. Well done...bravo
