Reviews for "The Masquerade"
Wow-..Wonderful.
This was so great...
The animation wasn't that detailed, and no voices. But it was-...so great.
I see many Newground Animators trying to achieve true emotion in their work.
You have truly done that. This is one of the best pieces i've seen on here.
Keep on this track, man. You have the potential to be a wonderful animator, though you already surpass many of the most famous on here.
Comedy is one thing. But true emotion-...beautiful.
NICEAMIMATION ^_^ ,\ /,,
Beautiful animation loved the message it passes, congratulations friend =D
nice
Normally don't like this kind of thing and find them too heavy handed, but I actually really liked this one. You where actually clear on what you where saying and actually looked at the different aspects of it.
Drawing the smile/sad faces on looked so good
The Reason sax synth made everything feel a little cheesier though
The ending felt like it kind of came out of nowhere a bit with the girl, but the movie did enough of what it set out to it didn't bother me too much
Great video
My question is what made you want to make this video?
what fueled you to make this?
I like this video, I just need to know what is it that made you want to make this

Well, my answer to that question might be a little disappointing. Personally, I don't actually think of myself as being in a similar situation to that of the protagonist. In fact, the character I drew to look more like myself was the kid who was kicking protagonist for not being successful. In the book The Catcher in the Rye, they mention that life is a game, as long as you're on the winning side, and that is where I find myself to be right now. I get extremely high grades, I have great friends, and I have a relatively successful web design job even though I'm only 15, so I barely even notice the system I'm sitting on top of, and I feel like I can freely take off my masks and feel no consequences. However, because of all that, I guess I also feel a certain amount of guilt, because I know there are plenty of people who are not on the "winning side," and for no fault of their own are forced into the situation of the main character of this movie. I suppose making the movie was a way of showing sympathy and empathy for those people and to possibly feel some sort of catharsis.
