Okay........?
Love this flash
Is that supposed to be Jesus? I thought he was bronz.
nahtanojmal responds:
I'm glad you love it.
No it's a depiction of a few aspects of Jesus.
The change from shining to normal skin is supposed to portray Jesus coming to earth. From a perfect presence in heaven to an earthly one.
a nice little gem
most animations i see that have a religious theme, go a bit overboard with the message they are trying to convey. this one to me was subtle, and beautiful (though the cross was a bit much, but desregarding that). animation was minimal but the story made up for it. the art and music gave it a plus too. i find it stupid that some people give unreasonable scores with little to no explanation. which this animation does not deserve.
though i am not saying that this is the perfect animation, as their are some things you can improve on. such as being the editing. some scenes i found confusing to follow as they would go into transition to the next scene way too quickly or when the shots are confusing.
take these this for example.
at the beginning of the flash,
the shot where the robot chick wakes up we get a long shot of her standing up from her bed to a place where it looks like the outside of her apartment, but we also see her begin to walk to what seems to be her about to fall off the edge of the apartment floor then cuts to her facing the mirror. you can clearly see her foot land on nothing but dead air, i was sure that she was gonna fall.
other than some editing problems you did great, the rest of the few editing mistakes you can find on your own. you clearly are a capable person of getting a story out efficiently using an adequate combination of art, animation and music.
hope to see more.

Thanks AcreHill
decent...
pretty nice animation.. good timing.. liked the style.. slick camera moves..
thot the religeous saturation was a little too much..
quite enjoyed the "fisting" part :)... (the robot seemed like she really liked it too!)
a question...
why does god ride a horse? in all the myths he's omnipotent.. so why doesnt he just appear there?.. or prevent the robots suffering alltogether?
nahtanojmal responds:
I think you mean omnipresent (He is everywhere) omnipotent is all powerful, or maybe both?
Anyways I don't exactly know why I put Him on a horse, maybe it was to show He became a human, no longer a spirit being. Demoting Himself to our physical limitations?
He loves but he waited until she wanted to love Him (she took His hand when he opened it to her) and not other things.
His goal is not to prevent the robots suffering but to bring all of them to life unto Himself. He doesn't do that by forcing them but by loving them. Some take advantage of His love others are changed by it.
Great movie!
It's inspiring and alegorical if you want it to be, and it's a fun music video if you don't "get it".
It would ABSOLUTELY be cool if you submitted the song to NG!
nahtanojmal responds:
Sumbit the song to Newgrounds......Hmmmmm..... well see.:)
