Absolutely stunning.
I have been watching Newgrounds content for some time now (2 years), and several times I have been tempted to open an account and write a good review. I joined Newgrounds today for the sole purpose of showing my support for this breathtaking piece of Flash art. I hope you continue making astounding masterpieces such as this one.
Wow...
This has to be one of the most amazing flash movies that I have ever seen. You put a lot of work into this movie and it shows. Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see your next movie!
Hurray.
Above all, I appreciate the enormous effort that you have clearly put into this movie. Oh, and Yoko Kanno--good choice.
Some (hopefully) constructive criticism:
The graphics sort of disagreed with me at times, Particularly in terms of the pre-rendered backgrounds. I think it might have been cooler if you had just done a paint-over in photoshop or painter. I've done some work in bryce, and just doing something to give it a hand-drawn style goes a long way (if you would like a before/after example, e-mail me: max_abernethy@hotmail.com). Also, I think the character might have been better as a flat silhouette. What I really -did- like was the way that everything was broken up into its elements, particularly the scenes where the landscapes flashed smoothly on and off.
Great job, looking forward to more work from you.
Speachless... well, almost
My small 10 is not enough for this brilliance. Nor is voting a 5. This level of expertice is what can get you to the top of the portal, and keep you there for many long months.
...
I don't typically give out 10s, but this sin't your typical Flash, now is it? Excellent job.
