I made this for a university interview, and finally finished it yesterday. Hope you like it.
Sorry about the huge file, tryed to compress everything as much as possible without taking away quality, and just so you know the slight audio "hiccups" are intentional :)

To watch again, click the figure when the movie finishes.

Music is by Ellie Goulding "Wish I Stayed" and Kelis and Crookers "No Security".

Please rate and comment, thanks :)

lucasv...

it was not awfully animated...its abstract...i guess you mind just still works like a 2 year old.

meh...

yeah cool but,not well animated.

RatherWilde responds:

I dont think it was awfully animated, some constructive critism would proably be more helpful...

Not bad

Ambitious piece. I like music video pieces, but the animation just didn't seem to flow well to me, and the message wasn't quite clear.

RatherWilde responds:

*see below* :)

umm

i didnt get it :S
but it was frickin awesome....yeah explain please?

RatherWilde responds:

Pretty much it was a drawing that found a hole in the wall, it then found a factory that was creating all these words in his world. When he goes to explore he is knocked out by the secuirty device of the factory, and falls inside, he then explores and finds the computer and sets it to self destruct, the facotry explodes and the drawing falls back to his previous home. However having destoryed the factory that gave the words a presenece and himself an extra diension, it all disappears and he is left standing in the place that he was drawn. The drawing is then thrown away.

Hope that made sense :)

Surprisingly enjoyable

Yeah, the animation wasn't smooth nor the greatest, however, unlike a bajillion other people on this site, you are actually aware that animating means moving things around; you know, so that things look ANIMATED.

And that is a very praiseworthy feat.

So yeah, even if things looked a little stiff, I loved how the little guy walked around, climbed things, walked past glass bottles, and all those little fun things that make flash and cartoons in general fun to watch. I give you high props for that, considering how as I said, most people do not realize that it doesn't matter how melodramatic you make your flash, if it's not fun to watch, then it's not worth watching. As I said, great job.

The only thing I feel you could've touched up upon is that you used that falling animation a bit too much; I think you could have shown him falling from a different angle or in a different way or something, in order to spice things up a bit.

But other than that, I thought the music choices were good, the animation was fun to watch, and that over all this was a solid and likable effort.
Keep up the good work, and keep improving your skills!

RatherWilde responds:

Thank you for that, i'm going to try and improve the animation next time , and i thanks for the comment on the falling animation :)
