Reviews for "I'm Afraid of Butterflies"

love this style!

It's exactly what cartoon is. Thin lines, thick lines :) Not too much different colour in one area.. Perfect. The story is kinda arty :) Nice! But it's definitely too short!
I loved it! Make more :) But no action like this. The action would suck. Make it a thriller ;) not an action movie. Thnx though :) Enjoyed!

i was diggin it...

i liked the character design and art style, but when i started getting into the movie, it ended. please make it longer or release another part

it was pretty good

although it lacked a proper story line

Nandi responds:

Thanks. Oh that's because this story is the VERY short version. And I can't write for peanuts :P
Thank you for the review.

Peculiar but good film.

I enjoyed this film despite it having a couple flaws, firstly I would like to mention the obvious lack of a play button which would have helped to see the movie when we wanted to, rather when is loaded. But despite that, it is a very good movie with the most tempting and strange plots I’ve seen in a long time. Seemingly a young woman ( who already lives with some one, both of the “talk less, do more” type ). Gets a letter from her aunt asking her to watch her home while she is away for a while, despite not having remembered this so called aunt, she rushes over on a scooter ( I was almost expecting the bat-mobile ) and comes over there is a series of questions, huge shadow monsters and black butterflies. All this seems to end with that woman being killed ( I may be wrong, the plot was confusing at times ) and being berried next a rose with her name next to it. So as I said the plot is without question the most interesting dramatic idea I have seen an in ions. But putting the great storyline aside, the technical features were very good as well. Visually interesting because you only colored some specific things, the tie, the scooter and the roses, while the roses color contributed to the plot, the tie must represent the company which made this, yet the scooter seems to have no reason, and I doubt any one who can come up with such a plot would do anything without a reason, perhaps hidden inside reason? No matter, it was very well done. The voices were good but seemed to sketch a bit, perhaps improving quality of sound by any way just a bit would help. Some scenes of violence with the big monster thing I suppose, nothing much though. Also a bit funny at some parts, seemed sort of a British way of humor, not bad, more…interesting. And overall,
very good movie but leaves a lot of holes I’d like to see filled in following movies.

And after the general summery I would like to present you with the details of my scoring
to this film.

Graphics: 8, Very nice and interesting graphics. Smooth good animations, specific coloring. All that put together made for a very attractive looking film, while I have questions about the used colors, I’ll hope you explain it another time.

Style: 8, A dramatic movie style with an original plot and a brilliant animation to demonstrate it with. Great work on the style of it along with the plot which as you know I loved, I hope it developed more over time.

Sound: 8, Very nice music during the film and the voices were also good and sounded a bit British. The voice acting was alright but the sound quality of it wasn’t as good as it could be. I suggest you work a bit on that issue.

Violence: 1, Just a bit of violence in the movie, hardly anything really, just those inexplicable monsters destroying the near by city, still it was tastefully done and there wasn’t a lot of it so it’s still hardly anything.

Interactivity: 1, Very little, just the replay button, noticeably lacking the play button. Adding would be necessary. And some other controls that I specified before would come in handy or just fun to toy around with.

Humor: 4, Again, little of it, only the thoughts of that certain woman during these weird events.

Overall: 8, Very good movie overall, glad I saw it and I hope to see it again in the form of a sequel.

Nandi responds:

Whoa, huge review.

Ah the colour choice, a personal preference I suppose. If I like it and it looks good, then that is my only reason for using it. I had no time to put deep thought into everything, since it's an assignment, I just had to make quick choices or I'd run out of time. That's why the story is kinda missing that 'something', and is so short.

Haha, that music is so easy to make. THe voices really ruined it, I can't even watch it cos they bother and embarass me so much XD.

I think I put no play button, to keep it like the website. I was going to ass one lol.

As for humor, I guess it could be kinda british, since I'm Australian o_0

Thank you for the great review.

Descent

Ok, that movie was sort of good, but it was wierd as hell. I understand why the roses turned red... but why was there a black rose and how does that make you afraid of butterflies? If anything, i am afraid of my aunt now. It could have been better but it came out nice.

Nandi responds:

It was black cos it was the first person she killed, the oldest rose. Many years old I think, who knows. Like the old day said butterflies are a sign of death... so that is why you should be afraid of them.
