Reviews for "The Masquerade"
Pretty good
I like your idea
I love your style
But I think the ending is too "good", in that kind of world bravery is a rare good and won´t happen just because someone is crying.
That´s aside I really enjoyed your work and I´m looking forward to see more of it.
Well done :)

Yeah, I guess I should have developed the girl's personality more so that she knew the main character better before taking her mask off. Right now, her response to seeing him sad seeks a little rushed and unprecedented. I think if I had made a longer video, I should have explained that bit some more so it's a more human and realistic ending. Oh well.
Another Drama Flash? Let's have a look!
I like the monochromatic theme, and how there was nothing but music playing, it really allowed the story to push forward with what you had. Although I did get confused at some parts, and you did seem to get lazy during some scenes. It worked great though.
What I think you did wrong with this flash, was show the girls face at the end. You should have at least built a larger climax up to it, only to end the film in black and not have it be shown. I'm assuming this is his happy ending...
Not all stories need that! In fact, not alot of them should! I think people need to realize that not everything is sunshine and rainbows.
9/10 for idea.
8/10 for animation.
7/10 for execution.

Well, when I was making the storyboards for this, I considered giving it a sad ending. However, I asked myself why I was making the video, and the answer I came up with told me that I was trying to make a statement about how I perceive life. The thing is, though, I'm a happy person. I guess I just thought that I should at least mention that there are reasons to continue living. All is not bad. I'm not sure why people said this review was "useless", because it's a valid point. In fact, it may make more sense than my reasoning. However, it just comes down to what the purpose of the movie should be, essentially, and a sad ending wouldn't fit my vision.
Beautiful
Amazingly done man.
Absoulutly amazing!
The story was a mixture of sadness and happyness. I really enjoyed it. I really loved the music, too! Good job man! 10/10
