Elie Wiesel's Night

This was one of my first attempts at creating flash movies. It was mainly created for a school project on Elie Wiesel's "Night." It serves mostly as a tribute piece. Reading the novel before viewing this movie is recommended.

I was quite impressed by this! I am really surprised it didn't win Daily Feature. It's some really powerful stuff! I guess its only flaw was that it was too short. I felt you could have told more. It's great that you honor a Holocaust survivor.

It's so nice to see people become aware of this. It's too bad it's so dark. He did in fact become an atheist. It was at least interesting to see the animated effects. Oh, and this was shortly before 911 happened...

omg

I just read this (just got finished today). The story is very moving and I like you're flash.

:( It was kinda sad. But it was well made.

The graphics, the style and the sound were wery...wery...wery...umm...good. And the sense/feeling was really breathtaking. I dont have anything else to say...than i just don know why I didnt gave the full points.

Anyway keep it up.

seems like a good book

after eading that other review and i still think this is good man i gotta get that book

i have to say this really bugged me.

This was a great idea for a flash, but it kindof makes you seem like a moron. For starters, I have read Night, and I know it is not a "novel" as you describe under author's comments. Novels are works of fiction, and as you hopefully know, this book is about a very real group of people in very real circumstances. Wiesel's style is incredibly haunting, yet still simplistic. His story comes across in writing without such an abstract form, without overdoing it. Your animated interpretation is much less an expression of the story, and much more an abstract collage of graphics, vague text and excerpts, sappy music. In short, your animation is a complete misinterpretation of the MEMOIR Night
