A story about cutting your bonds.


This is actually my second flash ever. The first one sadly got blammed, but I shall not give in to fear! I'm currently experimenting, trying to find a style of my own.


Enjoy!


Edit: hey, it actually made it through! And with a better score then I'd hope for, thanks everyone!

Nice work Noddle!

This animation has some very cool style. It was well thought out, and the imagery was very dramatic, even if the graphics and animation themselves were a bit simplistic. That is definately allowable though, being that this is only your second animation. The animation was very well synched with the music, which helped complete the dark feeling of lonelyness. The only thing I thought was a bit weird, was how the sword randomly appeared out of nowhere. As for the m bird, I actually felt that it was fitting when put into the context of the entire graphical style. :D Keep up with the nice work. You should look into spending more time on all the small graphical details, and then more people will appreciate the great style and plot you have to offer.

Good job.

Nice work.Its a shame there are not alot of people who produce flash works along this kind of style and flair.

Noddle responds:

Thanks. My style is my style. I've went through alot to find it, and I won't change it because some people around here doesn't like it.
I'm glad you liked it!

I like your style.

I started off a bit like you. My first movie, well, it wasn't blammed but it got a low grade. Everyone said "GRAPHICS SUCK! PLOTLINE TOO CONFUSING FOR MY NON-EXISTANT BRAIN"! Grrrr. But then, I got better and my third movie got to the front page! So keep your chin up. Make something that will really amaze people. See, your style, you've got it down. But since it's original, most people can't accept it, they see it as too simple.
I would suggest you change your style to something less...well...passive. The blood-thirsty people of Newgrounds like action, funny, and, uh, other stuff. See, to get noticed you can either go all out on the graphics or on the funny. This is all my opinion so you don't have to follow it. I gave you a 10 for inspiration, I can see great things in you... don't give up. It's good to expirement though.

Noddle responds:

Wow, thanks man. I really appreciate it. I'm currently working on a little bit more story-based animation, though I'm not changing my style. I'll keep on fighting, but my goal is not to amuse the crowd. Instead, my goal is to create something I can really proud of. Let's hope I will!
Thanks again!

interesting

interesting concept, had potential, but is too short.

Noddle responds:

Ah, but that leaves you wanting more doesn't it? Excellent... =)

And Now For Something Completely Different..

The Graphics were not great, but the presentation was terrific. It was weird and erie, something new for me to see at newgrounds. Good Job. Gave it a 5 for Originality.

Noddle responds:

Thanks! Yea, I worked hard on the presentation, then I got tired and didn't care as much for the rest. I think it came out pretty good anyway.
Originality rules!
