Reviews for "earthsick"

4/5

I gave this a 4/5 for the obvious effort put into it but i must admit, i almost felt like taking off marks for that insulting Author's comment. I like the way you arranged the text so that the viewer's eye had to jump around the screen to take it in. It made it quite entertaining. Only thing that could have been improved was that there could have been more animation involving the whole screen and more relation to the music but other than that, great job.

huh what insulting comment

if you're talking about the one complaining about unhelpful reviews, it's because i often get a bunch of idiots who have no fucking idea what they're talking about giving me a 0. It's a justified comment.

Thanks for the godo review!

A simple idea...

It's lyrics. And a line. And they're moving. And gears. How boring is that?

...

...why can't I stop watching it?! >.<

Seriously now, it was great and awesome and cool. And great. Only criticism is that there was one part with a lightbulb (I think, maybe it was just lightbulb-shaped) and the lightbulb just kinda disappeared, would've been nicer if it stayed there and looped.

very cool

this has very good sounds and very interesting meaning it has.

not a cartoon.

one of the nice things about the internet, is that we aren't tethered to the constraints of some teacher or company or rulebook giving us limits or guides on what we can or should or cant or should not do with the tools in front of us.
Even better, is that due to this, artistic concepts can be reached with no ramifications other than time spent. That said, it's a wonder little arty things like this aren't made more often.
first, as I said in your ng blog journal thing, props on using subtle. I have yet to hear a song by them I dislike.
as for the flash itself, it was a very very clever take on what most people who use music videos do wrong.
when people make a music video it usually falls into one of the two categories:

A.) someone just animated the lyrics with nothing to attract the viewers attention

B.) someone animates the lyrics exactly as they are as opposed to interpreting them in some creative fashion.

Alot fall into these categories. Alot of my own shite falls into column B.

What's neat is what you've done here, is do something witty with the lyrics. As the song changes, so does the way the words appear on the screen. The words actually evolve with the song. It's very entertaining, like being in a maze of words.

That, and there's some nice psychedelic eye candy in the backround for those who don't feel like reading.

It all comes together quite nice.

also, butts.

notorious responds:

Thanks for the awesome review, man. One of the most detailed so far, as is expected from someone talented in animation themselves.

Can't wait to see more from yourself!

oh yeah and eat my asshole you fujcker

Pretty cool

I wasn't too fond of the music, but the animation was quite well done (liked the eye, especially) and the aproach was unique and interesting. Maybe if the music was something more my taste I would have enjoyed it more, but I think that the animation and the music matched in a near perfect, creative way. Overall, good job. Very much worth watching; somehting I don't usually end up saying about a flash on the front page of Newgrounds. Lol.

notorious responds:

lmao true the front page has been a bit dissapointing lately.

One of the finest examples being 'pussy hairs'

thanks for the good review!
