Splendid
This was an interesting movie. It made me feel kind of small. The graphics could have been a little better. Me thinks this movie should have been done in color, but the black & white wasn't too bad.
Reviews for "14 Billion Years of Light"
sure
It was a pleasant change.
...or would have been had it not looked so bad. Tweening paintbrush tool pictures, ontop of a greyscale and white background! Sure you can claim "artistic effect", but not this time. Those brush lines just kill the mood. The flash is like seeing a chocolate icecream cone being eaten by a kid in a shady biker bar. Doesn't fit, looks bad, fails.
Gotta have follow-though if you're trying to make a point, or if you're trying to make a serious/inspirational/though-provoking flash. This doesn't cut it.
Very good
I really enjoyed that. It reminds me of things I need to think about from time to time.
I gave you a 5 in humour because it's a very quite, nice, peaceful, "delicate" animation, and then at the end it suddenly shows a minotaur. I thought that that was quite funny and such.
You should make more like that I think, it helps people to think.
I really liked the music in the background, I think it really mixed well with the style, but it got a bit repetetive I thought. Very good, make more please.
Nice job
A clever and intriguing poiece of flash
One thing that was "bugging" me through some of the movie was the kind of "negative photo" image of space and the stars which you had made, with the stars being black and the space between being white. You were probably doing that for artistic purposes IMHO it would have looked better with the space being black.
Anyway overall it is top notch stuff, I give it a 4.

Looks like MeltingClock beat you to that observation. I'm inclined to agree about the issues with colour and negative imaging, so I'll avoid that in future. Thanks for the review!
Too long for such a bland movie but good
The length plus the lack of color made me ex out of it after like 3 minutes, but it was pretty good despite that. I know what you were trying to do, but it wound up almost putting me to sleep, you would've been better off with color. Good Job anyways.
RogueHyena responds:
Good advice. I'll go back to colour for my future movies.
