Oh man dat Sarcasm
Well done man. It took me a second to get why the sudden change of pace was necessary, but it was funny when I got it. Nice facts too.
Reviews for "Terrorism: The Effects"
Flaxington responds:
lol thanks :P
Nice video
Can not help thinking what a great way terrorism is to control society...
Flaxington responds:
uhhh... o.o;;
oh no that would be bad
also the part about L.A. sounds like you're pitching a film Micheal bay, which he would possibly buy and make
Flaxington responds:
Lol that would be nice xD There wouldn't be much of a plot though... it would mostly be things exploding and people dying.
could do even better...
as you say, you could do even better
Flaxington responds:
Yes, that's why i said it.
Well..
I thought it was pretty funny. I was half expecting the 'horror' end, and half expecting an approximation of the government response and psychological effects (as you had focused on earlier. It does feel like it could have used more substance and it is nice that you know it could have been better. Some of the things that I noticed (may have been mentioned):
1. The voice. Where I do understand that your recordings were rushed the audio quality in something like this can make or break the flash.
2. Graphics, Although I do understand using both drawings and still images switching back and forth can be a bit problematic, and often looks bad. This is especially true when the drawings and/or pictures are of low quality. Work a bit on the art especially the blocky hastily drawn stuff and make sure when you pick pics they aren't overly pixelated.
3. Substance. Although I know you were not focusing on the history of terrorism, it would have been nice if you used more different examples. Also some of the facts seemed a bit sketchy. In particular the rate of childhood mental illness as it pertains to the bombings. I would imagine the increase in mental illness has little to do with how their parent died, but simply that the parent has died (see mental illness rates in military children who have lost parents).
4. Long beach bombing. Although it is possible that a terrorist organization could get away with setting off a nuclear bomb. It is also pretty unlikely. In a way I liked this it was on the side of a worst case scenario. More likely it would be small bombs, a dirty bomb, a biological/chemical attack, or an attack on one of the nuclear power plants in California (if Cali is your chosen target). The power station outside of long beach is gas powered. I did enjoy the crazy worst case scenario you had going though. I thought it was fun and really made the movie for me. You may want to consider (if you remake this) to try using a likely scenario and a worst case scenario. And you may want to specify that it is a nuke being set off (as well as the size you are suggesting). Just a thought.
5. He (nitrogenousbeing) is right about the pronunciation of amygdala. It didn't bother me much though, the press constantly mispronounces things. Sadly used to it.
Overall, I am kind of a sicko so I enjoyed it. I thought the information was interesting at least, and the end was fun. It could use a deal of work but it was worth watching. Giving this 4/5 and 7/10. Keep trying.
Flaxington responds:
Audio: I really would have loved to have a clear sound with maybe a few different voices involed :/ by the time i realized that i needed to re-record i was already stressed out and freaking out.
Graphics: Once again, i had to start cutting corners because after working on a certain part of the flash, i realized that i had just spent 2+ hours.
Substance: Everyone seems to hate me for this :C IM SORRY! D:
Long beach bombing: It was a simulation. Technically, we could have done a simulation of an attack on the north pole :P I understand where youre coming from but it was more of a "what if" than a "this will happen"
Amygdala: i typed the word into speakonia and it said it the way i pronounced it. damn speakonia :C
