Reviews for "About Love"

Strong messages...

Are always subjects to haters.
People are affrayed of what they don't / can't understand, don't let them say " hey, that sucks, fag !".
You should go on, as we need people like you to make things evolve, and as with this society it becomes worst and worst.

I can't give you a 5 because the animation wasn't that good, and it was a bit boring.

( To haters that thinks I'm gay and so I don't have a "neutral" point of view : I'm straight, I have a girlfriend and I don't have any gay friends. )

IcedFoxPro responds:

Honestly, thank you for this. It's appreciated. I know the animation isn't that strong. It is my first attempt at anything longer than a minute (:

Great animation, and i see you put a LOT of work on it. But man, i really laughed at some of the faces. They were hilarious. Try harder to animate people moving.
GJ!

You make some good points about love, but you also say a few dangerous things as well.

People are defined by their actions and the choices they make. If someone chooses to sleep with a child, sibling, or animal, then their identity will be defined by who they sleep with.

I'm not trying to devalue your argument, but it is very important to remember that sex and love are not the same thing.

IcedFoxPro responds:

Yes, but considering the context that was given, I don't think the message that anyone would take from this would be that it's acceptable to sleep with a child, sibling or animal. The message was that just because someone chooses to sleep wit someone of the same gender, does not mean that they are any different to the next person, and should not be treated differently, or negatively.

I completely agree however. Sex and love are two different things, and should be treated differently, but they also tie in together with regards to sexuality.

The message behind it was fine but the movie itself was kind of boring. Plus, I'm not a big fan of the animation style.

I'm not a homophobe, but in all honesty, to be blunt: this is shit. Animation is the art of movement. This short only manages to move texts and animate characters blinking, that is far from what I’d consider a successful animation. Really, it’s less of an animation short and more... the equivalent of 10 year olds attempt at the art of animation. –then again, since you did it in after effects; this is to be expected.

If you called it a motion graphic piece, then I’d be a little less critical, but since you decided to actually call this travesty an animation... well.... damn, what do you expected? Even if I was to review this as a motion graphic, it’s still poorly timed and executed.

Secondly, the designs are just horrid. Jesus Christ. You call this art work? I’ve worked as a professional animator so maybe my standards are a little high, but this is not art. This is garbage.
Your message is relevant, but you presented it poorly.

Anyways kiddies, there is a moral in all of this: stuff like this belongs on youtube, not newgrounds. Not because the fan base of newgrounds is homophobic, or juvenile, but because we have standards.
And as low as those standards maybe, this shit, still belongs somewhere else.

-Cheers :D

ps- If you can survive these countless negative comments, and post again; you'll only get better/ stronger. Advice, if you're going to attempt animating again: try flash or toonboom. Also, don't reply to the haters, that's like announcing to the world that you're a fool.
