Reviews for "We Just Exist "
Holy Hell, mate. Holy Hell.
This is awkward. I have no idea what the fuck to say. I mean, wow.
The animation looked crude and yet, splendid, as if from the mind of a young child.
The transitions were made perfectly, completely hiding their purpose as transitions.
The humor was out of place, verging on the border between tasteless and strange. And yet, never at any point did it seem to take away from the overall mood.
Am I even allowed to call this a video? This is a short film. A legitimate short film. Over-effects completely covered up any sign that this was amateur production. Do yourself a favor, please, and submit this to the Sundance Film Festival. It's this little thing they have in Utah every year that lets independent directors such as yourself gain worldwide critical attention they deserve, as well as the funding they need to make more.
I can not begin to explain the emotional connection that I felt towards this video. I don't know how you did it.
All things said, this was literally the most amazing thing that I've seen on Newgrounds. By the way, when the remake for Out Of This World (I believe they called it Another World overseas. No idea why, it was a domestic game) comes into inception, I feel you should be there to animate it. All of it.

I'm glad you picked up on this!
As for the sundance film festival comment.. I originally really wanted to submit it into festivals but all the entries for festivals are for 2013 and i didn't want to wait another year to release the film. I might try submitting it in the future but i think because it's already premiered online a lot of festivals wont accept it? I'm not quite sure.
Anyways thanks so much for all the kind things you said and taking the time to write this review.
Expect to see more films from Marcus Graham in the near future. I'm writing a feature length film.. funding it will be my biggest battle.
A beautiful story. You've obviously put a lot of time and effort into this. My one gripe is the voices, which are jarringly low quality when compared to the excellent animation and story.
the story was cheap, but the production and animation was awesome you need yo focus on the story
I really love this video. The intro is spectacular, I love the part where he is putting all the ingredients into his head. That was cool. Also, I love how subtly you make the transition from the real to cartoon world, that didn't make it awkward when you changed it. The choice of music when he's driving in the car is cool too. Although, the part where he goes upward with the girl when he's in the bathroom is a bit poorly animated, I do bet that it took some work to get it there anyway, and it doesn't detract from the overall experience at all. Actually, I love the transitions overall (pacman was my favorite). The commercial for the pill was definitely my favorite scene, and I liked the expression on the boy the whole time. There was a lot of unexpected parts, which really adds to it. The claymation part wasn't great. But I don't enjoy that anyway. You really had a variety of mediums here, and Iiked it... The ending was unexpected, and nice. I hope to enjoy your future contributions. Thanks :)
