Very goof
I think this was really good, however I have not watched lost so possibly did not get the lonks
Reviews for "Lost Rhapsody 2"
CapnBob responds:
Worse is the fact that I have spoiled all the major events for you, so if you do go back to watch the show you won't be surprised by anything. WHAT HAVE I DONE? OH NOES.
Worth checking out for the opening scene only
That's why i gave the flash a 7, for the nice graphics in that opening scene.
I thought some knid of ridiculously underground hardcore trance techno would play and the flash would skyrocket in a dark mood from there, but no.
Some bullshit loser starts singing witha gay ass voice and the fucking song sucks.
With that drawing talent you could've made this into something seriously fucking deep and excellent. Wasted potential...
CapnBob responds:
Umm... sure, I guess I could have done that... except hardcore trance techno has nothing to do with the show. And it also kinda sucks. And doing a dramatic tribute to a drama show is kinda redundant and retarded. You'll figure that out when you get older, I hope.
that was a nice touch
I liked it when the Walt bit was, so you played that part backwards
Trendsetting animation in the intro
The intro was amazing to me. Some of the most fluid, realistic animation that I've seen on Newgrounds thus far. I can see why a couple of folks thought that it was that 3D digital rotoscoping technique done in "A Scanner Darkly," the effect is very similar. It obviously takes a dip into Monty Pythonish parody once the record spins, but I had to watch the beginning a couple times just to catch some of the tricks that you used. Really, really impressive stuff.
CapnBob responds:
Thanks. I did some insane stuff in the beginning, especially when you consider this is a flash 6 movie and I don't have access to any of the nifty blur effects in flash 8. Seriously, I should have my head examined for individually animating each groove in the record. What was I thinking???
About as good as the first one
The new animation style was different, at times it was appreciated, but sometimes it made things difficult to see.
The song choice, again, was good. You picked up on good places to sync the music to the action.
Again, a great triumph. Can't wait for the new episodes.
CapnBob responds:
I assume you're referring to autotraced scenes and perhaps some of the jungle scenes when you mention having difficulty seeing details. The new look was an experiment, which as you said worked really well in some parts and not as well in others. That's less a failing of the style than it is a geberal lack of time on my part. Thanks!
