Be a Fridge not Afraid

Author Comments

A few years back, following a certain little event on September - the uh... what was it? the 11th I think? - the good old Howard government here in Australia calmed us all down with the "Be Alert, Not Alarmed" campaign. Everyone got a fridge magnet in the mail with a number to call if we saw anything dodgey, and many a prank call was made.

Most of the references in this flash will fly straight over your head (like a plane into a building) if you don't know all that stuff. Hence the wordy intro.

Anyway, the whole thing was made as a college assignment that was supposed to advertise a product or service (prostitution was taken).

Enjoy.

not bad at all

nice flash... thats a much better use for a fridge. It was a good idea and i enjoyed the violence too. those arabs with ak's was well done. The graphics weren't great, maybe less motion tweens and blood gradients (I hate blood gradients, ruins the blood effect unless its done exactly right.).. the voice acting.. which i assume was done by you.. was pretty cheesy but so was the idea so it works. Overall, it gets a 7 for pretty good and various chuckles.

CrankyCarrot responds:

Yup, the %100 pure cheese of the voice acting was courtesy of yours truly. And yes, I was going on the principle of the more cheddar, the better. I'll work on an alternative to blood gradients for the next flash, ok?

Lol

coolio, i gotta get me 1 of those fridge armours

CrankyCarrot responds:

Available now, where all good fear-mongering governments are located!

LOLZ

Brilliant, not the finest animation i've every seen but stiil good, it was so funny, good job, make more, PLEASE!!!!

CrankyCarrot responds:

"not the finest animation i've every seen but stiil good"

Well, hey. That's not the finest sentence construction I'VE ever seen, but I appreciate the compliment all the same.

I have balls...rubber balls!

Yeah, thats exactly what Bowling for Columbine was about, the people are AFRAID, and they need fridges to be calmed, but why buy a fridge that is heavy, when you can get GUNS! wich are heavenly armed, and even have soft handles!!
But i liked your movie, it was funny, had a nice message (bet you get a good grade for that ;) just good, nothing special

cheers

CrankyCarrot responds:

I got a distinction for it, I think - and for the three other people who pretended to have worked on it for our group assignment too. That's a quadruple distinction folks!
