Not bad.
Not really all that great either, but I appreciated it. It was okay. Music was very repetitive.
Reviews for "Hidden Sorrow"
Not as good as your others
Iv been a fan of your work ever since you made that evanescence flash movie. Especially crayon bear i found very good. Unfortunately i was dissapointed by this one.
Another flash movie that tries to deal with the more serious themes. This isnt a bad thing on itself, but the way you executed it was too simple and unoriginal. Depression, suicide, angel metaphores..... Things we are literally drowned with and things that can be only interesting if it is approached in a more original way. Who was that character, why is she depressed and why are we supposed to feel sorry for her? The entire thing didnt really make sense at all, it was basically just a short semi dramatic situation of a girl comitting suicide.
It helps alot if you make it longer and give the viewer time to attach to the main character. Nobody feels sorry for a hopelessly depressed girl jumping of a cliff. At least not if we dont know what the other aspects of her life are like.
The visuals were good and you are definately improving on that area. Very nice sky and great purple tones. The music selection was good too. This may not be as easy as it seems, because it happens alot that a sad flash gets completely killed by the wrong song selection.
Anyway, this criticism is only for this particular movie. I really do like the rest of your work. And i admire the fact that you experiment and try to make flash in many genres. Adios!
AITD

Well.. I have to agree with you..
Thing is.. my heart wasn't in this one to be honest.
I'm not really the depressing kind of type..but the music kinda inspired me...
The next one will actually have more depth ;)
I hope o_o... I'm kinda brainless lately, heh.
Ew.
That was so clichéd that I couldn't watch past the first 2 lines. I had to close it so I wouldn't barf. Good animation and all that, music's ok too. But please please, do something less chichée.
Glad I never listen to critics
That last guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I think it was awesome. But what do I know? I'm just a poetry and animation fan. I think maybe some vocals would be nice. Like a sad voice reciting the poem. Other that that it's thumbs up.
That was veary stupid.
Firs let me say that the anamations suckd monkey balls,
then there was the sudo esq powem thing,....extremly retarted.
and though the music was ok it wasent nearly enough to make this worth watching agan, also everyone in the flash looked like ....well
there hair...i mean come on, thay lookd like somthg off dragon ball z, only insted of there hair sticking streight up it looks like thay tryed to comb there hare with a blender.
theres just to much wrong with this to list them all.
do yourself a faver and just pass this one by.
