I made this for one of my college classes, but I thought I would upload it here to see what people thought :) I wrote the poem myself. (This is my first animation)
((( DECENT )))
This was decent, i like the "MUSIC" alot it was soft and slow but fit the words and slow content of the animation, The "TEXT" could run abit faster though, and there could be abit more animation from the character, but it was decent, and really nice "ART" very colorfull and nice envirment, cool flash and different....
~X~
Uhmmmm.....
I thought the review before mine was being abusive, but then I watched the flash. The poem... could use a little cleaning up. Frankly, I got bored and didn't even finish watching. Maybe if the druid himself moved, or was at least more charmingly rendered, it would have held my interest better.
I think if you work long and hard, you could redo this with more style. I know it's your first animation, so just keep trying.
That song kicked ass, tho. What was it?
Nobody can write poetry
No matter what anyone tells you at any given time there are only two living people who can effectively write poetry, at this time they are both accounted for. its okay for someone not among the two people who can write poetry and be alive at the same time but your rhym scheme is a little messy and honestly where di the whole guardian of the free thing come from it doesn't tie to anything and it sounds a little hokey, if you even mentioned freedom as an abstract elsewhere it might pass but as it stands you pulled it out of your butt and it smells like it.
You did a good job illustrating the poem and the audio was well timed and a good choice just don't expect your poetry to get you anywhere.
not bad
it was an alright animation, original idea too.
Would need a lot of work to salvage this.
The music was pretty good. Not that it was spectacular or extravagent. The graphics were sub par at best. The camera angles were crap for the most part. The poem that this was based on was a poor excuse for creative literature. It was cliched and poorly written. "His" stance was unrealistic and far too rigid. He also would magically change directions. For a first time, this was average. It's not so bad as to give up for ever. But you need to plan more beforehand, and spend more time on graphics. They're key to a successful flash cartoon.
