Intelligence is like clean underwear, you have got to have it, but you shouldn't show it off. Unless you are the sexiest man alive, who should run around nude.

Oh course the music at the start real nice then it cuts off at the play button.
I think you would been better of at putting music through the whole flash.
It really leave a big whole, if you used music that went with this, it would add a lot
First you start with a bunch short scene, then you swtich to FBF type randomness.
Really the problem is you would been better of having a bunch of crazy scenes.
The scene you have some are ok, others need to be completely nutz. The FBF style drawing should be more in a flash of it own and it needs a lot more shapes and crazy stuff. I can recoemend several flash as areference on this site.

Well if you really wanted to lack orginally you would done the opening in the Star Wars theme with the words going away from you as you read them.
There were some good scenes in this, I like it when you shot yourself in the foot. Plus the weapons esculation, though the run away part needed a rope swing, or some Star Wars more theme to it. The fact you were fighting on each side of a hay bale was mildly amusing.
Is Nick trying to sound like an alien?
It was classic to shoot the camera guy :0
You need to spoof more stuff :)
Author's Response:
Yeah, I was actually thinking about doing the scrolling screen until I figured out that it would be way too unoriginal.
Ha, Nick wasn't really trying to sound like an Alien, but I guess it ended up like that. I do think the best ideas were the hay and the camera guy.
The sequel to this should be up in a couple of days so you should keep watch.
Thanks for the reviews.

Now this really is not my style. I'm sure this in the theme of the cam corder type horror flicks. I'm not a big fan of that style, actually I watched several of them and didn't find any of them scary.
The best part is the trip scene I about fell over laughing. It saved this whole submission for me. REPLAY BONUS!
After it goes back to where it was for me. Nothing to special.
You have almost 2 themes in this the serious theme then the fake ghost and trip theme. If you going to spoof something you really should go all out On the flip side of realism video needed more suspense.
Author's Response:
Ha, so you think it's funny when people injure themselves for your pleasure? Ha, yeah the fall was something that I got an idea from on another video on youtube. It actually did hurt a little bit because I wanted it to look as real as possible so I covered my eyes so I wouldn't know when I was suppose to trip or not.
There was always plans to make to sequels to this, with one being scary and one being all comedy.
Thanks for the review.

I had to turn my volume way way up just to hear everything. Yes I know you mentioned it was low, but that is way too low.
Trying to sound like Vincent Price now that not an easy task, I not heard a lot of people attempt that. He has a really distinct voice. You may been better off at trying for a more low tone demonic sounding type voice. Get better software :)
Author's Response:
Thanks for that, ramagi. I'm working on the better software as soon as I'm back from the London meetup.
Other than that, there will be other submissions coming your way throughout 2009, so stay listening :)

This start really slow for me, then after 30 seconds it like a shot of energy comes into play.
The dance style is strong in most parts. I could see it being used in a flash.
At the end it like death. Everything slows way dow slower and slower then nothing. Was it your intention to have everything stoop at 3:20 and have :10 of nothing? I reloaded the page watched again had it happen both times.
I don't know it it was, but if it was it was perfect. I never noticed in any other submissions. Seriously it makes the end perfect.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! You almost got it! The "hidden" reference is in that 10 seconds. Oh, yes it is indeed intentional and you could hear better what happens there if you turn up your speakers after the last chord is played (try not to burn your speakers, though, in the loop change). I'm a sucker for endings. I always pay a lot of attention to them, despite the fact that radio and club DJs tend to cut them out.
I'm glad you liked it! If you do manage to figure out what the reference is, or even if you don't, PM me and I'll tell you!
Cheers!

I like how you mixed in the news into the song.
It does not even see to detract from the whole song as it is.
If you listen to the lyrics it actually makes them more powerful.
Plus the fact the news clips never overshadow the vocals.
Even the instruments that play during the news part are not overshadow, and on the flip side they don't overshadow the news clips.
I think you really did a good job mixing this together.
Actually this whole thing could make an extreamly powerful video based on the content.
Nice job
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review! What I did try doing with this was to try not to overemphasize the lyrics. In most cases, when someone uses things like news clips, spoken vocals, do it in flat way, giving an impression that they have just added a clip on music. It was a tough task to both find appropriate clips from Al Jazeera for the intro and from BBC for the rest. I wanted the actual clips to be a real and intense part of the lyrics themselves. And then it's all about details. The clips were thoroughly cut, moved, stretched and compressed word to word to actually fit the music, both rhythmically and musically.
So it really feels rewarding that you liked this one! I was very proud of the result when I made this! Thanks!
