Glad you liked it!
A+
*SPOILERS*
The whole goth suicide thing is way overdone and a boring cliche. The song was too emo/whatever for me, the noose was predictable and I would've liked something more in the end making it more philosophical then her really dying...
But this video is only been done before in attempt, not execution. The whole goth atmosphere and suicide theme was only lacking originality because of the probably hundreds of flashes we see trying to accomplish what you did.
In a sense your video looked, but most importantly felt, like this was done before the topic had been overdone. The animation was good, and frighteningly smooth. Awesome use of the same picture many times but in so many different ways that we don't mind (front view of her eyes, cut up, with tears, second tear and so on...).
The noose being created was incredible. And though once we saw it we knew we expected it, the artwork was so captivating, as it wove itself from her tears, that we were totally spellbound and surprised. The constructive criticism I can give is few. Work a little bit more on characters' profile as it didn't totally match her from the front, and did not seem as well drawn. People might have mentioned it already but the animation of the guitarist was well... orgasmic... more of that kind of professional quality work would've been amazing. Also when her eyes are dark near the end and the screen sorta zooms out her eyes are closed, then zooms in for open. But in such a trippy ending that effect could've been psycho on purpose.
I'm going to check your other stuff out and again, great GREAT work. Everything is cliche nowadays and it's only someone ingeniously creative and unique that can take something we've all seen and make it not only their own but better than some of the originals.
SecretSecretary responds:
Wow, thank you. Yeah I need to work on drawing the same characters from different angles and basically improve my animation skills as a whole, and I will. Thanks for the nice review with compliments and criticisms and all. It was very helpful and actually made me laugh as well. :)
Coolness
LOVED IT great work, soundtrack and video tied together beautifully, the demon was actually kinda cool.
SecretSecretary responds:
Hey thanks a lot!
It was awesome
Great job man, I liked the music as well as how the video fused with it.
Is there anywhere to download this song? It would be nice to add to my playlists :)
SecretSecretary responds:
Thanks, sadly you cannot download it.
You can only download a sample of it form their website or go and listen to the full version on the band's Myspace profile.

well
first of all there is no question about the animation as an animation was very good.
About the contaiment: We all know suicide is bad and so on... in fact it would have been helpful if we could have seen the reason of her suicide so we can jujge about the person and have a clearer mind about the animation
