Twas Alright
It was alright, a bit too melodramatic, but not too bad. I'd also say the graphics could have used a bit of touching up, the scene that showed this the most (to me at least) was when it showed him getting shot. The gunshot wounds were really weird, a bit distracting too.
I liked the grunge style though :), keep it up.
Enjoyed it.
In response to thed3rf: dude seriously lighten up and stop trying to be a pretentious know it all, accept things for what they are and that its a positive message trying to be conveyed no need to post negative vibes on a well put together effort. I would like to see some of your flash work before you crit this man.
All in all the animation wasn't the greatest but I quite enjoyed the narration and it was a good change from the random "lols" trying to be brought in most flashes today
Does so many things wrong, it's painful.
You establish the entire premise of the animation on the notion that we, the audience to which he is directly addressing, respects what he has to say. Being some disgruntled defense attorney and grumbling "rah rah press play or get the fuck out" in one of the most overplayed attempts at voice acting does not establish the plausibility of his situation nor a reason to think his opinions are anything but the ill thoughts of an author struggling to piece together lines.
The whole narrative is unoriginal; that's a given. Then, it becomes offensive when the viewer is addressed and commanded to carry himself in a certain manner. Problem: We don't want to agree with this villain. We are compelled to disagree and thus live like complete assholes, contrary to the obvious and cliche message of the movie.
Additional problems are as follows: Criminals need defense attorneys regardless of the situation. Whether or not the criminal is deemed innocent has no bearing on a lawyer, and he should be smart enough to address that. Instead, he's a dumbass. Dumbasses don't become lawyers. Moreover, dumbasses don't suddenly feel the urge to narrate their depression before death and conveniently start to choke just as the audience learns he had been shot in the neck from the beginning.
And what the fuck kind of suicidal bullshit message is "live as you would have lived had you been lying on your death bed"? People struggle and achieve; no one wants to work hard. If people live to be happy, nothing would get done, including the honorable work of defending the rights of those who wouldn't otherwise have that liberty.
In this end, this is some trite, derivative work that isn't as impressionable as it is distasteful. Some mildly depressing human story involves regret upon reflecting his life; we've seen this before.
really good effort
dude PLEEEAAASSSEEE fix the voice acting...the over dramatized (batmanesk) voice ruins what could have been an awesome flash... everything else is great
Absolutely fantastic.
Loved it. Good flash, with a very deep message in it. There needs to be more of these. I'm wanting to give you good feedback, but there's so many things I want to say that I'm not even sure where to start.
