Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.
**EDIT: I have pursued my idea to complete my 4:20 flash as a whole. Therefore making this only a sneak peak at the opening scene to the flash. Only this portion will be based upon the Above the Influence ads (unless I had a skit otherwise). Keep an eye out for it. Should be hopefully completed by 4/20/10.**
420 Episode I: Under the Influence

After a year of abandoning my idea to make the most amazing 4:20 flash movie for everybody's favorite holiday, I've come across my Loader/Menu that I have created as a start. The origional plan was to make one long flash movie containing many short clips. But I have come with the brilliant idea of making it into a series of episodes.
The very first episode HAD to be a parody of the 'Above the Influence' commercial that everyone loves. I tried to match the graphics as best as I could and put in into more of a stoner's perspective. Hope you enjoy, feel free to post any critism or ideas you may have for future episodes. Dont hate :).

This flash was good.
I've never really seen anything animated like this before so the originality in the design is a plus.
The actual flash is a bit weird, at times it really didn't make much logical sense but it was funny and it was understandable so it's fine.
Overall a good flash, just odd.

Amright?
AWESOME!
this totally captures the whole stoner rebellion cliche. very nice style and good animation.
GOTTA LOVE THAT REBELUTION
That's what I was aiming for. :)
A little short
I think that this type of animation is a little limited by the lack of voice acting - it's a good piece, but it needs something else to it, rather than this basic plot that you've given the movie.
Perhaps a little more work on the drawing side of things - I like the black and yellow effect that you've given for the colour scheme, but it's not quite what the piece yearns to be. Adding a subtitle bar (especially if you're getting voice acting as well) will improve this piece so much.
Not bad, but nothing that's going to jump out of the screen and scream at me for 5s all the time ;)

Clearly you've never seen the TV commercials.
Although many people outside of the US are unfamiliar with it. I was aiming for re-creating the Above the Influence ad. Check it out on YouTube and you'll see how it will resemble it much clearer. Slow low frame animations, childish artwork, and no voice actors.
Parodied both "Stop Looking at Me" and "Not Again".
LOL... amazing
Very funny video, and looks just like the commercials. 10/10
Excellent parody...
As a parody this is great, which is why I'm giving you a seven...
However as an animation it was really lacking.
I mean I can't fault you on the drawings because that's what you were going for,
but the actual animation was horrid.
The worst part was when you tweened the chick, it made me cringe a little.
Still you captured the feel of the commercial, and it was alright... which is probably why you got the tenth spot yesterday.
Thanks,

Yeah, there's not much I could have done regarding the animation besides adding more facial expressions and more movement into the charectors than the commercials potrayed. Thanks for the review nonetheless.
