Reviews for ""Strange Fruit""

was touching lol

great poem

10 for a different reason

even if the visuals aren't that appealing, the way you've interpreted the song was superb. two thumbs up for an eye-openner.

Good ....but not great.

I have to say that the choice of music was superb. Love that song. Powerful imagery and great poetry. It was wise to maintain the dark atmosphere to this piece, but I found it a bit too dark. The pacing was good though the artwork was rougher than I cared for - chalk that up to poetic license and aesthetic intent. My only real critique is that I thought that it was mildly exploitive in that it was almost so emotive that it verged on being rather cliche. I would've liked to have seen something more origional in nature being juxtaposed against such an already strong piece of music. Don't think I disliked the work; I just feel you missed some real opportunities here. Sometimes the most dramatic pictures are painted in broad strokes, but not always. Keep up the good work.

thanks for the input, it's much appreciated. I deliberately stayed close to the song with the animation, so that poeple wouldn't have to pay attention to the song and the animation at the same time, but rather view it as a whole.
Thanks.

Whoa

Amazing...........If this doesn't touch you on a visceral level, you don't have a soul.

Simply heart wrenching

That was a very inspiring video and I appreciate the fact that there are people that truly know how much it hurts to go through something as stupid as Racism. This really touched my heart, and I speak very personally about it. Thank you. You did an amazing job.
