If only, but then again.
I'll divide my review in 2 parts, the good and the bad, because this flash deserves a pro-like review and not just a bat in the back and 'good job', because I see a bright future in this authors flash development.
Good:
- Using subtitles and a foreing language (french) really created a surrealistic feeling and it pushed the story foward with a good grip and made sure the story evolved. This is what made it nice to watch.
- Music and sound effects and the quality of them. Musics came from Lord of the Rings to Silent Hill (not sure really, and I missed the credits too because I was busy writing this as they rolled). Everything well placed etc.
- Some of the flash 'art' featured in this flash was great but not all I must say - more about that in my bad section. The backgrounds (or rooms if you wanna call em) were nicely done with a good sense in perspection, the book felt a little flat though don't you think? If you would have made it in 3D it would have been a lot better imo.
Bad:
- I must say that the characters didn't fit in the animation. They were ok, but not fitting to this movie. Maybe you need someone to help you with the art? I mean, if the flash had realistic human art the effect and overall feeling would have been dramatically raised to the roof.
- Tension. Not nesesserily a bad thing, but a 'experienced' flash prank viewer I must say I almost stopped viewing this flash because I was waiting for a scary climax all the time. There was 1 scary moment in the flash and it was in the early stage, wich wasn't too shocking so I continued viewing.
In conclusion:
I wasn't really up to view your extra footage at all, since when you actually put a end to the story, extra things don't really interest. Me at least, I can't really talk on others behalf.
Overall I loved your flash and I hope you make more of these odd and innovating flashes. So in other words thank you for submitting this flash.
I gave this flash a 'protection vote' and all 10s, because I see a talent here so sorry for you others who think we should judge the flashes by the content.
I hope you found my review helpful.
