cool

props for the song.. the flash was cool especially cuz it's your first.

Yeah, I Read That Book Too...

It was very depressing, and it was an important piece of literature. You forgot to show more of the scene where the kid hangs. That part was the defining part of the whole book because that was time that Elie lost his faith. He looked upon the kid hanging from the gallows and saw that it was no quick death, the kid choked until he was blue and had his tongue sticking out. Elie went through all this up to the point he went into hospitility. By then, came another defining moment, the boy looks into his own reflection, to see nothing more than a corpse, symbolic of what was left of him. Your art was fine, but your animating skills need work. Choose some music that is fitting(The track you chose felt too angsty and reeks of present-time stress. The book is about disillusionment, so choose a tune that moves us into an emotional shock of disbelief, probably something with a piano. Just choose a track that brings a tear to the eye). Most of all, remind yourself that death is real, all you feel and see is all that life will ever be. Don't let anyone convince you into believing that death is not real.

School Project

This looks like something that you would do for a school project. If that is the case then bravo. Any type of flash animation used for the classroom is good in my book. I'm not going to complain about tiny problems like manga characters and how many bombs the plane was supposed to drop. This was a very good flash and I give it a 5 all the way. Keep up the good work.

Hello

First of all, allow me to say that I liked your work.

with that said i'd like to note some problems that I found in it. First of all, you seem to have a really good understanding of Frame building. very cinematic. but the lack of animation of FBF is felt all over and takes alot of the "joy" of watching. you should work on that. cause you sure have talent. Ontop of that, I'd like to say that I didn't lite the changes you made in the charcters. Manga kids has nothing to do with the subject in which your movie is based on. If you want to show something Grim such as the holocaust (sp?) you should do it realistic as possible or at least give it the full respect that you seem (and should) give the subject. Also, think about changing the music, cause as nice as it maybe it doesn't fit aswell.

I know I'm being kinda harsh, But I'd like to still say that I really liked your work and will be looking for future works from you.

Take care,
Nir.

For a first flash this was pretty good

However, the music didn't fit the story you were telling at all. Graphics were pretty good, but the animation should definitely be more fluent. Think of increasing the framerate, that should really help. Also, the flash overall seemed a bit static and were just constant bits of animation with, I presume, quotes from the author. This interrepts any cohesion that was intended. Good drawing style, though, and definitely a good attempt for a first flash. I'd like to see more.
