As always, T0MMY,
you never fail to impress me. Only two days went into this, and to me that’s nearly unfathomable that such a nice project can come out of only two days. It has really inspired me to do another time trial of my own.
I loved how you seamlessly wove Flash and Photoshop, which is something many people struggle with. It was so Smooth, whereas when most people import bitmaps they get rasterize’d improperly. I loved how you used the Grass and flower brushes supplied in that PS brush pack to really work as Backgrounds for you. That flower brush is by far my favorite Photoshop brush because its so versatile. The slight movements were the real keeper here, as well as the blurs and other transitions. the Border was sweet, but I wouldn’t use that clouds filter so much. i never thought that filter made it look like sky.
The character itself was unbelievably realistic and active and i liked that. The Heart you drew was incredibly lifelike, and i loved the slight coloration you added to give it depth. The Vector skulls, Damn! those were beyond cool, even though they only lasted a few frames.
As far as the music, i am not a big Afi fan, but I really like how you took the song and gave it a very original plot, with your heart and thoughts all relating to the stars. ‘Twas maybe to deep for me to catch, or maybe I am reading into the madness too much. In any case the song and movie corresponded well. It was fast paced without any down time.
Overall It was Dark and hard, and a thousand times more entertaining than the play-doh gimmicks of a certain well known Dub'er to whom you probably didn’t prove anything to since he only rates how good a flash is based on its Daily feature awards.
In any case, It was a really nice short film, and really quenched my thirst for something artsy. Thank you.
