good one
very nice music video you got here. i'd like to replace 'style' with 'originality'. its not too often that people make an entire animation/music video based on a song from the audio portal. i personally really like audio portal and i always like to see animators use it in their work and this music video is a perfect example as to why i like it.
Thanks. The music video wasn't my work though... I feel kind of guilty, because a huge slice of success is owed to Denvish for his track and for making it royalty free on the audio portal.
It's hard to be original nowdays... Everything's been done, pretty much. Either that or i'm having a really hard time finding something that HASN'T been done yet... Means i'm not very good at being original...
Perhaps i was good at refurbishing the "country" style in the song, since it hasn't been used in a while.
Either way, i think that's all there is to say at this stage. Thanks for the feedback and i hope to hear from people like you again!
OK
I know that the song is not a great one for a video, but here were my problems with ure video.
- It didn't go anywhere. If i remember correctly, there were (2?) verses that were the non chorus. What I look for in a video is some sort of continuince if it is not incredibly high quality in animation. Your video seemed to be "Hey, heres the chorus. Now here's the verse. Here's the chorus again..." Essentially you were reacting to the song, rather than making the song react to you instead. If that makes any sense.
- I don't think that the song has much replay value, of course that probably has to do with my taste in music. It's just not...something that I would watch again. It doesn't overwhelm me with goodness. Like i said before, if the animation was more drastic, and it wasn't repetative, i may decide to watch it again.
Other than that, it was pretty good. The syncronization seemed alright, although it also didn't seem too complicated to do. The animation fit the song. The graphics were...better than I could do. Not that that statement says much anyways.
Shame you see it that way...
Though you have a point. The animation was good made but it was mainstream... Like you said it went from chorus to verse and back to chorus. I was just trying to fit exactly what the song sang. I don't usually do music videos. The only time i did before this was my "Floor" music video and that was a bit better i guess (probably because the song was actually my own).
The song itself is just a matter of taste... We can only agree to disagree on that one, since you're not a big fan of it, yet i think the song deserves a lot of praise.
Either way, i'll try improving the graphics and for my own sake i won't make another music video for a while.
Well, thanks for the feedback! Yours actually helps!
cool little Jingle...
I like it actually it would be a nice song to here when you go on newgrounds on thanks giving. The animation was decent you know now animation is over the top. Over all i liked it.
thanks, buddie!
Decent.
Decent animation, I felt the style was a bit too a la paintshop, but with some reflection, it goes well with the style of the music. However, to be honest, it really isnt anything to write home about.
Upon reading all of the reviews for this submission, some people may be inclined to say that the author takes criticism too personally. He is clearly a talented flash artist, but could certaintly benefit from looking deeper into the constructive side of reviews and comments.
I could benefit from that if there actually WAS constructive criticism to look at, rather than simple "not good enough", "didn't make my day", "could've been better", etc. etc.
For the last time. I don't mind knowing that i could've done better. What i hate is that you don't re-inforce your argument. Tell me what exactly could've been better and perhaps i might listen to you. I take it personally when you don't give a shit and simply write short responses without a shard of actual constructive criticism. I received threes and fours before and the ones that actually told me what i could've improved on weren't snarled at. Unfortunately for you, you didn';t take the time to give me a more appropriate response. Moreover you didn't study your "case material" well enough and wound up shooting yourself in the foot like the ones before you.
Give me your opinion but remember to add "why", not just "that's that".
Keep it up
Not bad. Have a nice Christmas.
Thanks. You too!
