Liek.
Let's face it, there wasn't a lot of animation to this, but it was just cool.
It did tend to drag on a bit, but the aesthetic is just great.
Yes, this is good.
You did the song justice.

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
if you care to know...
the song was most famously adapted by Billie Holiday.
And the author is right, it is about racism so stop complaining now that he's cleared it up.
this song is a classic. Know your music.
Yeah, it was pretty good I guess
But... well okay, the lack of Billie Holiday severely dissapointed me. Sorry, I dunno, I just feel like that old recording quality goes much better with a song about lynching. It's creepier, and was more frequent in those days (than the mid 60s at least). Sorry.
