Reviews for 'Asteroids' music video

[AfroUnderscoreStud]

Nice movie it made me all tingly

Theres two different areas of this I'm going to comment on, the movie itself and the special features section, as both made me have somehting to write about, I'm gonna write my comments for the special features section in a seperate area as it wasn't the movie and didn't effect my vote, or scoring in any way.

MOVIE
That was a very nice movie, very touching(not sure if thats what you aimed for), this movie made me feel a way no other flash movie has ever made me feel before, I correct that, this movie made me feel a way 'NOTHING' has ever made me feel before, I got all tingly because of it, and I still feel a bit like it 5 minutes after watching it, so seriously well done for that. I especially liked the part when the song went "but your not a girl, and I'm not a boy" and you made the two people vanish, it was a very nice idea and just looked really nice as well. The only real problem with this movie is the length, it could have been a bit longer, what was here was very nice and I'd have liked to see more, maybe you should remake this using the whole song instead of the sampler, I'm sure you'd do a very good job of it, and I for one would love to see it..

SPECIAL FEATURES SECTION
It was a bit hard to read the text in this feature as the background played with your eyes(if you know what i mean) and I kept having to look away from the screen for a while and then look back again to be able to read it all.

Thanks for mentioning me(chrisjericho(it was my old Newgrounds alias)) in your special features section, it made me smile.

It's for making flash like this that you are my favourite flash author.

Stay fizzy.

Bezman responds:

I was really happy to hear it had managed to make you feel such a way.

Personally, I found the song both touching and kinda amusing in a wistful way. I tried to capture that by simply recreating the lyrics literally.

But however you react to anything I've made, as long as it has a positive impact, I'm happy. Whether someone was laughing because the graphics were so bad or touched emotionally and provoked to reflect a little on life, I'd be happy I'd had some positive influence.

In future, I'll try and make the text easier to read.

You really do deserve the thanks. It's partially thanks to feedback like you're willing to give that I'm able to get an outside perspective on my stuff and continue improving.

Also, knowing that people will have a look at my stuff helps motivate me to make it.

Quite... beautiful really.

In the beginning, it doesn't look like much, but it was well worth watching I feel.
The song - for a start - is lovely, and I'm going to shoot you an email asking for a list of their music that I should get :D. It felt like a really warm song, and is something that you don't often see in a music video, as most of the time a music video involves a monster going on a killing spree to a metal song, haha.
The graphics in this were pretty nice, and it was nice to see you draw some realistic looking shapes (like the people), some abstract images (like the multicoloured background), but still keeping a 'cartoony' feel to it - which can be whitnessed by looking at the design of the asteroid.
This music video was nice and short, and it seems - to me - like you tried to keep the viewer wondering about what would later happen, as there wasn't a solid, concrete ending to this. I think that a more recognizable ending to this would have been more appropriate, something that the viewer could easily identify as a stopping point.
All in all, you kept it nice and short, and I really enjoyed watching this. The visuals were well done, and you've selected a great song. Nice work.

Both a compliment and - in a way - a warning to me.

Glad you liked it.

An interesting way to put it. You pay compliments in new and original ways.

Thank you.

This music video was nice and short,

Wait a minute... are you saying any longer would have made it worse? I'm honestly slightly confused by that part.

and it seems - to me - like you tried to keep the viewer wondering about what would later happen, as there wasn't a solid, concrete ending to this.

Maybe. I don't know. I do know that I like your thought-provoking probes into the motivations though.

I think that a more recognizable ending to this would have been more appropriate, something that the viewer could easily identify as a stopping point.

...and finally we come to a real suggestion. Thanks.

All in all, you kept it nice and short,

... I'm honestly confused why you're complimenting the shorter length. Please explain (over e-mail) if you can be bothered.

and I really enjoyed watching this. The visuals were well done, and you've selected a great song. Nice work.

A glowing summary to a very positive review.

I do feel your review would have been much better with more constructive crit. Also, the 'nice and short' comments do confuse me.

However, what you have here is a really thoughtful review with some thought-provoking sections.

6-7/10

If I was high, I would find this fascinating

But I'm not high. I met a hippie and that straightened my ass up QUICK! Anyway... the graphics are still cool.

Bezman responds:

Glad you liked the graphics. :)

I'm surprised to hear someone say you need to be high to appreciate this as I'm not a stoner myself...

Ah well...

Good music video

It's a good song that you've used, and the movie is good to go with it. Fairly short but enjoyable, and the special features were a nice touch. Keep going with your other projects, if they're as good as this they should rock.

Bezman responds:

Thanks a lot for the encouragement. :D

Nice music video

The graphics in this flash were pretty good. Nice drawings of the background and characters. The animation in this flash was pretty good. The sound, the music, not bad. I didn't like it much, but it did fit with this flash well. This flash, it's a music video, that's fine with me. It was quite a good music video with the images you created that matched the lyrics.

There were information about you, the flash and other things, which I thought was good. :) Nice work.

Bezman responds:

Glad you liked the extras.

So the reason the score wasn't higher was mainly just because of the music?

Or was it the length?

Enh, it's a good score anyway for what it is and I'm glad you liked it (I think). But I'd appreciate it if with other reviews, you made it clearer what the worst thing was that I should concentrate on improving for next time.
