Reviews for "Directionless: Job Hunt"

French? Whatever!! Awesome!

I was impressed! For 3.3 MB of flash, I was expecting something a lot shorter, so I don't know how much work you put into this. There is something I'd like to know because I don't know where else to look for the information: What was the song and artist of it that you used? If you don't mind me asking. Just because I liked this one, I'm going to go through your other work and probably rate them too.

ActiveObjectX responds:

I used two songs by the artist Sacha Distel. The first one(the main song) is La Bonne Humeur and the second one is Qu'est Ce Qu'on Attend Pour Etre Heureux

I quite enjoyed that!!!

its not the normal stupid funny that many have come to expect from flash, and that suprised me. I liked this cartoon, but also had some issues with it...
Pros:
1) Great message. Keep your chin up!
2) Dry though funny humor.
3) Great sync with the song.
4) Color matched mood perfectly!
5) Great animation style
Cons:
1) Humor is too widely spaced... add a few more jokes in the future please!!!
2) Slow. Granted it is based on a song, but use double time in some more frantic parts (ex. the second job search)
3) more time on the computer screen. Lacked enough time to read all of it.
4) I love dry humor, but others may not get it... i suggest dumbing it down slightly.
All together, great flash. Great animation. Great message. Great work. I cant wait to see more from you in the future.

ActiveObjectX responds:

Yeah I do agree that my humor might be "above" the newgrounds standard of dick jokes(which are awesome by the way).

I think the reason why the humor was spaced was because the movie wasn't necessarily a "comedy". It's more of a situation with a dry approach to it. The real "haha" jokes all come in at times when the main character is down on himself. Trying to convey having a good sense of humor. So it's not about the jokes but more about why those jokes are happening at those times.

Oh wow!

Looks like you re-drew most of the frames in this, quite impressive. I would have given it a 10 had not been for the sometimes choppy-ness or the fact none of it was colored, but I mostly rated based on the choppy parts.

Still! It is amazing, more than I can do right now.

ActiveObjectX responds:

I liked the choppy parts where I drew only single frames.

Though it could be interpreted as being lazy.

I'm going to say it's an artistic statement representing the main characters mind.

I LOVE IT

It's perfect. Good music, talking though signs, and a pity corner.

ActiveObjectX responds:

Pity corners are fun.

Nice job! (No pun intended)

Not sure I understand the choice of background music, but overall a nice piece of work. I really like the effective use of monochrome colors.

ActiveObjectX responds:

I don't understand french nor did I look up what the lyrics meant. I kinda interpreted the songs meaning from how it sounded as " have a good sense of humor" and the video follows that.
