Artist's Comments

Oi, my first ever flash :-) Discovered by chance that imageready supports .SWF exporting :bounce:
So this is what I plan to have as an intro to my nonexisting website. When I made the images years ago, this is what I had in mind, but couldnt carry out (in .gif I think the file would go well beyond 5 mb's and my pc crashes if I as much as look at a .gif with more than 300 frames in it). Well, its late.. morning actually..
Have a good day :hug:

edit friday night: Well, I think I've finally figured out why I couldnt make proper smooth transitions. Appearantly .swf files needs at least 0,1 second framedelay in order to update layers correctly. So I've reuploaded the file, now 5 times larger I'm affraid (but it sure as hell looks better). Also tried to fix the speed of the text transitions, at least now it works fine for me :-)
Thanks for all the really helpful comments and ofcourse the :+fav:'s too :hump:

Looks great!
I couldn't possibly read the words for the life of me... maybe I'm a slow reader but they go by too fast for me.
Besides that, I like it :) Great pictures, too.

This is amazing. What a great series of pictures and the words do ring true to me as I have thought similar things in the search for my own personal developent.

I havnt seen much else liek this especialy in this form of art. Its really interestign and appealing. Awsome work.

Great work! Watching it really captures the eye. However if I may be so bold there are three things id change. I have no experience with flash yet I have done a fair bit of video editing so id like to think I know a little bit about it. Tell me if I’m wrong.
1st off, the text fades out to fast. If it could pause for a full second it would be perfect. You can read it just fine, because you typed and worked with it, but others who are unfamiliar with it can't read it as fast as you.
2nd, the sudden frame changes in between the pictures doesn’t look so great beside the slow fade of the text. Have the pictures fade into each other at the same speed of the text, it will enhance the onerous, melancholy feel of the entire work I promise!
3rd, this is a more personal point but I watched it the second time with a choice musical piece in the background. 'Like Spinning Plates' by Radiohead from their album 'Amnesiac' enhanced the dark feeling of the work 100fold, plus it synched up very nicely, I know you cant put copyrighted music on Deviant but try it for yourself and see.
Non the less! Great work! If that’s your first you have a promising talent!

perfect. powerful words for powerful images, all I can suggest is to somehow make a smoother transition with each image. well done

We are the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.

i hadn't seen any flash other than using vectors (or a least, in an illustrative fashion) and this is great. i love it. i think another deviant mentioned the sudden changes between images...maybe some sort of slow fade between the changes in the sky would make it flow better, or bringing in a sudden flash that links the two images, fading them both in and out of white, to get the effect that your eyes see when you have just been blinded by flash and your vision slowly returns....
