thanks
Awesome!
The animation itself is very beautiful and fits with the song perfectly. The only thing I didn't like was the song itself actually. I don't know if it's my mood or what, but I just wasn't all that into the song. However, it's an amazing flash and definitely unique for this site.

Thanks! The song is a matter of taste, and like more of Simone's work it isn't really easy on the ears.
Strange??
I love it when the philistines flock to a place of unfamiliar and seeming profoundness in order to drag themselves out of their own monotony and to pretend that they have matured having whitened something majestic. Before you blam my review and label it unhelpful read and understand that everything may not be as it seems. A dead pigeon painted gold is still a grotesque sight and it may be easy for people to be taken in by its cheap and false splendour yet it is still a dead pigeon after all. My metaphor runs as a parallel to this video as it seems like a profound piece of majesty yet it is simply a pretentious piece of drivel coated in gold. The video simply lacked subtlety I agree with the racism message but not the way you put the message across. The lyrics and the way the song was sung itself lacked any form of tact or subtlety although the animation itself was good it was unfortunately hampered by the song. Viewers please watch but do not become bloated by the cheap sense of power and so-called profundity offered by this piece because it is simply hollow. I am 100 percent against racism but I don't think this piece does that message any real justice.

Thank you for your (colourfull) input. It is much appreciated. I knew beforehand the song would upset some poeple, I chose to use it anyway. I'm sorry you could not appreciate the song, thanks for the compliments on the animation.

J-qb responds:
Thank you, that means a lot to me.
Yes I did all the artwork (except the song, which IS art, but I'm guessing you didn't mean that), Only thing I didn't do were the NG preloader/button and the song.
Beautiful...
That was sooo moving, so disturbing, almost made me cry.
Great job,that's a one brilliant movie.
