Reviews for "Bozophilia"
Good work.
Great job. I gave you a 5 because I encourage artists
Things done well: --Well thought out plot. --I loved the transition that stayed on the house and tracked the course of the day until he returned. --I loved how you only showed him in clown until he took off his makeup and nose in the mirror. It was a clever, simple transformation of character. --I liked the plot and the wierdness of it. --I liked the "It's Hopless" woman at the beginning and end. Very very clever and well done. + I believe the text was cropped in your work, which rewards the savy watcher. --I liked how you made your character a sympathetic focus. He felt human.
Things that were soso: --Many things were overly deliberate. The GenPub might miss some things, but it's better then over doing it. 1)I would have liked to never see the mime again, and never be sure she robbed him, but even if we do see her again, you didn't need to have her cartoonishly pull out the money to show that she had it. She had the bag. I knew the money was in it instantly. Rely on your audience to fill in the blanks. 2) The family photos going up the stairs. Too much, you already showed her with a family. That was enough. 3) It was good to know that the leatherman was the dad, but a more subtle delivery may have been appropriate. --The pan to the sky at the end is the tail end of every-other student movie that I grade. I see it 10-15 times a semester.
Things that need work: If it's black and white you can't use the line-drawing filled in with 'color' approach because it's visually inane. The wonderful thing about black and white is it's ability to become completely abstract. A random jumble of black and white and grey can transform into a face or a room or an alley as the camera shifts or things move. Look at great old black and white movies for ideas about how to get a visual punch. Hitchcock is obviously up your alley, but really look at how the shots are constructed. Consider adding perspective rather than always seeing objects from the front. If you lack drawing skill, model the object in 3-D and place the camera to the side, or take a photo and convert it into a drawing. Those are just ideas, but do tackle the visual aspect of the medium. My favorite still was him passed out at the table shirtless with spittle.
Kinda left speechless.
Plot-wise, this flash was good, in an odd sort of way. Animation-wise, this flash was fantastic. The thing is, I don't see why you would dedicate this seemingly glum and somber flash to your father. Is there something we don't see, like a hidden message?
Great job though...I just didn't understand the nessage.
Great
Honestly I thought that the no dialog way of telling a story was an excellent choice for this piece. Time and time again dialog has killed potentially great flash movies mainly because of the poor voice acting. But this piece was well told without words. I understood it completely, and honestly this is a pretty original story. Don't listen to this guy who reviewed this flash before me. He really doesn't understand it that well.
Good Job!
Hrm.
What to say? That was really good. I liked your style, the way the story moved, everything. Nicely done.
