Grate job. I love submissions about history. Talk about a serious short
Reviews for "The Siege of Lubungan"
Good stuff.
I always enjoy history flash.
Looks nice, but needs a little tweaking...
This isn't a bad peice, and it certainly looks nice. It also has an educational aspect that is missing from a lot of Newgrounds pieces.
The sound and timing, though, despite being of high audio quality, mar what could be a phenomenal Flash. The whole thing is timed like a history lesson, which means it goes slow. That would be great if the sound were a little more dynamic. Instead, we get background music that does not loop properly, and sound effects that are far too sparce in frequency. This, when combined with the torpid pace, makes this movie an exercise of looking at the pictures rather than learning about the subject.
Another issue is that this piece doesn't give much background information but goes directly into the presentation. As a result, anyone who is completely unfamiliar with this historical event is completely lost from the beginning. Combine this with the problems as listed above and you get a piece that looks polished and has an aim, but despite its precision is never to achieve true accuracy.
If I were a teacher, I'd give you an A, since it's clear you worked on this and the audience would be more familiar with the matter. But for Newgrounds, it has to do more than inform; it has to engage.
hmm
I liked it!
nice
that was pretty good man almost like it should be on the history channel. I bet you got an A for your class. Nice work.
