Reviews for Virus Alert - "Weird Al"

[Vert]

...

... although this isn't my favourite Weird Al music, it's still pretty funny (honestly, even a "weak" Weird Al song still is much better than most) and the music video you've made (which I had already seen on youtube, btw) is really good. Although you kept your "unique" stlye, it fits the music well, and, of course, it's very well drawn and animated.

More importantly, the humor of the movie was in "perfect harmony" (well, that's a slight exageration) with the music, exagerated (as it should, with Weird Al) and pretty funny. Yeah, only "pretty funny", but in all honesty, I actually think that the music is the "weak" link here, you did pretty much everything right!

Of course, even though even single review is going to mention this, the RAB cameos were great! Oh, and I also found the (small) extra scene interesting, but you should have shown us more of the game! It wasn't enough to get any feeling of how it looks and works (etc) and, thus, it didn't make curious enough to go check it out. In any case, cheers and 'grats on actually making a Weird Al video!

One little question, though (although I don't expect you to answer, given the huge number of reviews I'm expecting), how much input did Al give into the music video? Did give you a free hand, or did he pretty much tell you everything?

Hehe, very cool

Good job on this. You are definitely not a lazy animator :) Good job.

Also, I found it ironic that the interface, when shown, was that of a Mac which interestingly enough can't get viruses :P

marvelous

this animation was one of the best flash music videos' i have seen in a while. the synch was great and the animation itself was mildly funny, and the motion, motion consistency and such are remarkable. although this animation is marvelous and part of which was played at capital ex in edmonton, which just goes to show how well done it is, the reason i give it a rating of 9 rather than 10, is that the characters some of the characters seemed awkward looking, and almost off balance, along with the fact that the portrayal of his band members were not at all accurate, though the latter does not stand very well as the animator has most likely never seen them.

Did you make this 4 the LULZ?

This is funny, you had to feature Weird AL, oh wait, he made the song featured in this flash animation, but it is somewhat rare that I give out 5/5s and 10/10s! FINAL SCORE: 4/5 and 9/10.

It was very interesting to watch this. Why? Because it was something you made that was for kids. You even managed to sneak in the “Retarded Animal Babies” characters with cameos. I always love Weird Al Yankovic. I always want to see him in new ways.

While not one of my favorite songs, it was great to see you do something different. I think it worked great for you! Anyway, the animation is as slick as ever. You really are a great artist.
