I tried

I wanted to like this more than I actually did, I really tried. The style is good at first, but it got a bit tiering. I liked how you used textures and masks, and the idea of complementing it with a black on white animation was good.... but using some sort 3d animation for that... not that good, and some parts just felt like a "self help/cheap spiritual" video, like the water reflection. It got too busy too, and you had to either read the text or pay attention to the animation, which also made it kind of frustrating. I appreciate the art and the intention, it was a good piece, but these details made it hard for me to enjoy it.

cheers

Cridia responds:

About the 3D part; I tried hand animating it at first, but for some reason I couldnt get the style I wanted out of it. The characters I aimed to have were also kind of detailed, so 3D animation was a better choice for me. Not that I will use 3D on every animation from now on mind you; after the recent experience I am not going to touch 3D animation for a while again; the bugs during animating it drained the enjoyment of it all. Right now I am glad the piece is finished.

Thanks for the comment!

Great

I specially love the scenery, it's my best part, though the idea was nice, and it went very well with the song you chose

Stibby responds:

Thanks!
Yeah, I like drawing environments.
Glad you liked it.
:]

Well played

I give you a 10 just for the fact of using a song from mew... they're brilliant, and the beautiful music matched your beautiful concept which was beautifully executed.. so like I said, well played. I'm actually making an animation with Mew as background music too, I would like your opinion when its done.

Hello

I don't write many reviews, so I hope you find it useful. I liked alot the way you did your characters, and the overall aesthetics of your flash. I loved the way the music fit the animation, and (this is what i value the most -->) ,it gave me a certain feeling after watching it.. although the flash itself wasn't THAT great, and I don't relate with the story, the way you put it just made the music and the images stay with me, also the closing line made an impact. I envy that of your animation... the feeling and ambiance, i don't know if I can achieve that with mine.
The big problem I had with this was the animation part itself, it was a bit scarce and not very well done, like you were in a rush to do it.
If you agree, maybe we could collaborate on a flash someday

Sincerely,
Gustavo M.

INDRE responds:

I started it making a long time ago. Then some thing happened that I didnt have these files in my pc and I couldn`t finish it. So after a lot of time, graphics got old and I couldnt nor look nor edit anything. If I wanted to finish, I`d have to redraw everything. So it suppose to look unfinished.
Anyway, I`d like collaborate on a flash someday, just if it`s interesting or worth attention. If you have any good ideas, we could work on it or I could think of something. But there`s one thing, I don`t like action, sci-fi like flash`es or so. :)

blue much?

You kind of copied "more like blue".... Anyways, I LOVE mlb so much that I liked this too. I'm just happy that someone continued with that kind of humor, keep at it, I hope you are able to do stuff as funny and well done as mlb, you're not very far from that.

rockymike responds:

I miss MLB. That's sort of my reason for starting this project. There hasn't been a new MLB in almost two years. No one is doing stuff like that and someone needs to fill the void.

There's a second one in the works, it's much better than the first. This was just to introduce the characters.

usual starting stuff

It's bad alright, I'm not going to lie. It is quite common to start off with crappy stick animation, it's good that your working on your fbf skills, but you still need to work alot on your stuff. You need a better sense of timing, quality ,originality, etc... in other words this is good practice but as a submission it sucks. I really hope you keep at it, maybe investigate a bit about the basics of animation, it's an excellent idea to analyze examples of walk cycles, jumps ,etc. I hope you eventually develop characters and a story line, of course after learning how to animate adequately. FBF is awesome.. I wish I was better at it... and I hope you do it well one day.

3 for effort and for starting out

I'm glad I took the time

I seldom write any reviews, but this movie had a certain feeling, combined with skill and an honest and true thought behind it. It communicates perfectly the idea and causes an impression. I liked it a lot ,it left me kind of a bitter sweet feeling, I love that by the way, I haven't had a lot of feelings lately.

Keep working

Although It is clear tha it's one of your first attempts, here are some things I would like to point out:

-Alot of the graphics ,though kind of elaborate and well done, give a certain powerpoint image impression.. getting into a style discussion is not the point, but be carefull with gradients and over-cartoony outlines.. specialy since you used utlines for some images and for some others you didn't...

-Animate.. don't just overlap movie clips start by making the action a bit less intense and maybe shorter, but emphazise on animating your characters..

-Check out some tutorials around here, the layered background tutorial I believe would help alot

Newgrounds wtf

I don't know, newgrounds can be way too predictable sometimes... I swear, I saw this flash when it was under judgement and I thought "man.. this is exactly the kind of stuff that goes to the frontpage (besides the really good stuff duh) and I don't believe it's really worth it" -said and done-. I'm not bitching or calling you emos... I mean it kind of felt like it, but I don't like how anything that's a bit sad and sentimental lately is called emo. It had some really nice high quality stuff, but in general I failed to see the depth ,originality... and yes ,quality in this.

The music mix was really well done, and I liked alot how it was synchronized with the movie. The unity of the themes works well too, and the general tone is right.. But it was just kind of poor in quality and creativity .(guy cutting himself, guy with rose, guy walking crying, guy being taken by an angel) you know what I mean, its ok to see ONE of this things in an animation, but not ALL. I do want to tell the artists in this collab, if it's trully your first animation, you're doing good and as you mature as flash animators you can be great. And maybe newgrounds took this up to support new artists, but if that is the case, there are alot of other really good artists in more mature stages ,that I know would produce much more out of some exposure.

I know it was too long... but it's been bulked up and I finally put it out there.
Keep it up.. I don't like it now, but I can see that you can produce some good stuff in the future

Still got it

Wow, its incredible how you manage to make such funny songs&animatios one after the other, of course its a 10 for me it had me laughing my ass off like you always do, Ive know your animations for a long time and it is really funny to notice the comments of people who you just KNOW the absolutely havent. First of all, about the animation quality, its perfect like that ,makes it even funnier, and its always been like that, its part of the charm, so stop bitching about that... its just classic. About the offense, well some people are just too jumpy, I truly inocently didnt see the whole offensive thing... Im no hardcore christian obviously, but I dont know how hardcore christians keep comming here and watching this kind of things, you KNOW you cant take the humor
