Reviews for "Lost Rhapsody 2"
wow
Heres how i felt through out the entire thing:
Right in the start it was so sweet. something i never thought i would see in a flash anamation. awsome!
Then the Wierd Al starts... damn... the anamation gets a bit shotty and lame there is one or two bits that are good but the musice get on my nervs to much to actually enjoy it. I didnt HATE it. I like that i saw all of my "memories" form Lost all in a 5 minute (guess) clip. I just found it wierd to see four of them dressed as babies in the zoo cage. I also cant say the music SUCKED cuz i have to admit that i kinda like Wierd Al, but it did get annoying and i felt kinda shamed to watch.
Then when the end came it went back to the awsomeness it was at the start.
You really have something for youself in flash. if you could make a video of you and your friends doing something and then did what you did with the beguining and ending clips (cuz there is no way you did that by yourself ^_^) you might have something.
oh yea and whats with all the numbers flashing up? i must of cought like 10 or 12 of them.

You're kind of missing the point a bit... which is probably my fault for not making the middle section with the song crappy or silly enough. I guess I should have made an even larger contrast for the joke to work, but not everyone's going to get it anyway. And you don't remember Charlie and his band dancing in the giant playpen wearing diapers for that commercial? I'm not sure how anyone could forget that part.
I agree with the guy who reviewed this before me
You have a natural talent for making flash movies. You artwork (excluding the characters, unless they're your original artwork too) is amazing, but even more amazing is your animating.
So, just why in the hell exactly did you do a Weird Al music video with that kind of talent? This is selling yourself short in the worst way.
I think I speak for everyone here at NG when I say, "We'd love for you to scrap stuff like this and start making original and serious movies. You have so much amazing potential. Please execute it right."
CapnBob responds:
I think you have it backwards. While I have been a long time fan of Weird Al, I'm making Lost music videos and I'm using Weird Al because the variety of different songs he has stitched together is the only thing that could possibly be used to conceptually sum up all the events of an entire season of a tv show.
I am not doing this to join or fit in to any sort of fad or scene. I did the first one as a joke, and I only finished it because I underestimated the amount of work required.
I did the second because people asked for it, because it was a challenge, because it will get me more exposure at this point than something original, AND because I once again severely underestimated how much work would be involved in executing this design.
To think that I am not going to create original works at the first opportunity is shortsighted, and moreso is the claim that you speak for everyone at NG. Perhaps more people will agree with you after my next project which will definitely be my own intellectual property, but popularity is a fickle thing and I'm not going to take it for granted that the audience for the two movies I have released here will all be on board with anything I do next.
That said... What in the world is wrong with making a Weird Al music video?
I'll give you "meaning"
You were pretty much an asshole to sudsysniper, so let me define this flash's lack of "meaning" for you:
The opening was interesting to watch, but sadly, I guess that was the rotoscoped part. And then it was pretty much a slideshow of random situations with people singing along, and made me wonder what the point was, except to create a bunch of scenes relating to the song's lyrics yet appeared to all be irrelevant. Therefore, it had no meaning.
My advice: use your own creativity. Unless you rotoscoped the beginning, which I'm afraid you have, you have a great talent, and this flash only undermines it. But don't bash folks who are only trying to be helpful.
CapnBob responds:
Nice attempt at a troll, but you fail to address why his sense of the word "meaning" has any relevance to a silly fan video meant to amuse people who are intimately familiar with Lost. The main "meaning" is: "here's something silly to amuse and hopefully entertain fans of the show while it's on hiatus." Maybe you missed that one. You also completely miss the meta-joke of the video, which is the only place that a more universally "meaningful" comment would be intended. Come back and try again when you figure out what the numbers mean, kid.
Your definition of "only trying to be helpful" looks suspiciously like "only trying to find irrelevant crap to be a jerk about."
great graphics!!!
the only problem is there is polka. please. no more polka. btw, great job on the graphics. and i love the ending! never saw it coming. me or that guy!
