PSA: Meth

Share Collapse

Author Comments

For health we had to make public service announcement for drugs. Elanor (my partner) and I chose meth, and this is the psa we came up with for our project.
Enjoy!


P.S. As a note, this is pretty much my first flash animation. Other than fiddling around with the tools and following tutorials, I have never used flash before so I'd appreciate some leniency when judging the artwork ;) Also, I am very aware that the intro song is irritating, but (as I have stated in replying to reviews) it was placed in more as a joke than as a serious introduction theme song, and yes I do find it a bit annoying too. You can turn it off in the upper right hand corner if it bothers you so much.

Okay

Pretty good but you are quite incorrect about your information regarding usage. Methamphetimine ingestion through IV (needle) use is often a last resort for a user that has developed a tolerance to smoking it, and after their nasal linings have been destroyed from snorting. IV use is even among users an often frowned upon and often hidden activity even amongst other users.

For the most part most meth users wont even hang around a needle user because by the time the user has progressed to that point they have a tendancy to steal, prostitute themselves and flat out rob someones ass to get high, and even most drug addicts just dont want that drama.

I know im right, because ive been in recovery for 2 years and have successfuly kicked the stuff with Treatment and Support from family/ friends. Your teacher is wrong, not stupid. just misinformed. Thought you'd like to know. After all you did research it. Thought obviously not very much, 6

I dont like the loading song

It was a nice PSA. It gets the point across and gets to the point. Could of been funnier.

DUMB

The intro song was very annoying. The graphics were subpar. The story was unrealistic and factually inaccurate. Sally should have smoked it. She'd have had a better time.

Well, thanks for your review even though it was more bashing than constructive criticism.
First, the intro song was a joke. One of my friends started singing it in class one day, and its more or less meant to be annoying (thats why you can turn it off in the corner). Second, this is my first flash animation so excuse the "subpar" graphics, please. Third, the story was short because our video had to be short (by the way, this was for a high school freshman health class) and the facts /are/ actually correct. And according to my health teacher, meth is more likely to be injected, and it does in fact provide a quicker rush than smoking or snorting. All the facts were taken from legitimate sources, too.
Thanks anyway. Just wanted to clear things up, in case others have your same reaction.

Stupid.

Methamphetamine is uber keen. I think Sally was doing it wrong.

thumbs up

I found the loading screen song to be a bit annoying and a few more fact about the harm meth does would have been nice. But all around it was good. So remember kids don't do drugs, just smoke weed instead. ;^D

misahpea responds:

Thanks for your positive review :)
We were trying to make it as short and sweet as possible, since our 14-15 year old classmates have short attention spans. I agree that we could have put in more effects of meth but I didn't really want to go back and add more frames.
I don't like the loading screen song much, either xP But, it was put in more as a joke, and my project partner was set on having it.
Thanks again
