The review
Well, good and bad points.
Good

This is a tribute
Still Alive
Chris being pissed at GLaDOS.
Bad points
----------------
Well, graphics
Its been done, sorry.
Still, this is a good movie, deserves a 2/5 and 7/10. Not good, but not that bad.
Meh...
Personally, I think there is a portal hype, so I don't mind a portal video (as it's a great game), but there is too many 'Still Alive' music videos...
Now, the movie is made with motion and shape tweens, is it not? Some parts it works well, but at other parts it doesn't. For example, when the rocket turrent comes up, it comes up from the bottom of the screen, and you can see it before it reaches the hole. I suggest a mask, learn about it in the flash tutorial section...
The music was quiet and, during the beginning and the end, the black screen was too small, so you could see the white background...
Also, a portal can't kill, and a rocket turrent can't die, remember that now...
For a first flash movie, its ok and you have clearly worked hard, but probably won't be remembered for being something special, but I think the character drawings had potental, so with a bit more practice and a few more techniques (such as masking), you could make a pretty good flash...

WEll I know that a portal gun cant kill a turret. But Chris Has A better verstion of the gun then the one you get in the game
If I wanted lyrics I'd google it.
There's potential here: however i think the graphics and visuals in general let it down hugely. Nice concept, I hope the next one is a bit more pleasing on the eye. But $60 for the orange boxset is the deal of the century ^^ 5 quality games - even if they are too short.
Not bad
I think it would be funny to see this song done as an AMV of a Jimmy Neutron cartoon. Anyway, you had some good ideas, but there was a lot of dead space, you know, parts where the music was playing, but nothing was moving onscreen except the lyrics? That shouldn't happen in your future submissions. You gotta keep things movin! Other than that, just keep practicing, and I think you'll go places!
