Reviews for Weird Al - You're Pitiful

[CataclysmicStar]

Eh?

I guess this could have really been worse. My only complaints are that the graphics weren't that great (hey, it happens, I understand that) and that they were incredibly shaky. I'd blame it on the computer, but it's the school's computer and not mine, so I don't know the specs on it. I also can't find out what version of Flash I'm running. I don't know if it's your fault or not, but that's how the video ran, so I'm afraid that's how it ends up. It wasn't bad, and there's always something monsterously amusing about seeing a popular cultural icon turned into a cartoon, but by simply redoing the video you lost any possible humor points that you could've gotten through doing your own idea. Also, you do realize that in the end, the correct grammatical usage is "you're", not "your". I don't know if that's the way James Blunt (or Al, but hopefully he was smarter than that) spelled it, but the title of the song should be "You're Beautiful" or "You're Pitiful" depending on the version you're referencing. Sorry to be a grammar nazi, but mixing up the silly little easy things that all people should be able to get right makes you look less intelligent than you might be. Spelling/capitolization/punctuation/grammar reflect on you as a person, even if it's just a mistake you forgot to fix or didn't notice. Make sure you (as I say to all artists) remember to spellcheck and have other people look over your work to make sure that you haven't accidentially made any silly little mistakes that you might pay for later.

Nice

I really like Weird Al, one of the absolutely best comedian's I know about. I've never laughed so good at songs before as when I first heard one of Al's songs.

I'm gonna review all aspects of the movie pretty linear, because I can't come up with a more creative way of reviewing your submission (lazy me).

The graphics are definitly ok. But since I got a mild impression of stiffness in Al's movements I'm gonna have to go with a 7. The backgrounds and details are sure very nice and the overall objects have a good fluency in their movement patterns.

Allthough Weird Al is a very creative and groundbreaking artist, a music vid ain't. So stylewise it's a 5. Because it's not that often you come across good music vids either. Since many of them rely too much on the song rather than the animation. You could watch my vid here on NG if you wanna tell me what you think ;)

You've succeeded with the sound too. Allthought I know you cannot possible get the crystal clear sound in a movie on NG as you might get in your MP3 player or so forth, it still sound a little rusty. But hardly noticeable or annoying.

I like your humor and I like the song. A good combination and a good match. So this movie will get a -
Vote: 4

Hmm...

Kind of disappointing, since the graphics were-- well, pitiful. But, since the song is the focus of this submission, y'get some credit.
