I have to admit, the was pretty funny. I'm not a metal fan, but that was a really great video. Love the animation and the art to it! I can see plenty of effort was put into this. Keep it up! :)
Reviews for "2 minutes to midnight"
This was great I enjoyed everything about it.
Fuck yeah, this made my day and then some. Meatcanyon (damn sweet username btw), this came out perfectly. It showed vision, it showed heart, it ticked all the appropriate boxes with room to spare. Big bonus: a plot that keeps you guessing, from the moment you read the title and see the thumbnail, to the very end.
At first I thought these guys walked off their jobs without punching out, at 11:58PM...? Anyway, anyone that ever worked 2nd shift for years on end can tell you, it can make you kinda squirrely, but oh so ready to party. I'm really satisfied with the entirety of the script, top shelf stuff yo.
Comedic timing and graphic shortcuts (except maybe the last slideshow montage, some of those stills could've been a little more detailed/expositional) worked well throughout the animation, and I don't think it was lazy in the slightest! What the fuck, I mean, you animated this thing completely by yourself, you have to scale a few things down to get things done, or risk getting bogged down with things that don't necessarily need detail... but that said, having effects like a blowing newspaper, or random background element in the background, can be a whole plot unto itself.
When monthly voting comes around, I know this whopping 10 minute odyssey is going straight to the top of my screen. I trust you'll take my review to heart, as I've been a member here for over 15 years, and been in the business of story telling.... back when metal was a bit more mainstream, and cries from the wilderness were seldom ever heard (late 20th century, pre-internet).

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this. I'm glad you were able to connect with it. More content coming very soon!
Seems like the effort level was really high at the start and really low at the end. I wish you would've just made it shorter.
"HOLY SHIT!!!" by the way i f*ckin love this its amazing every time i watch it
