[Most Romantic Song]

NOOOOO!!!! I'm gonna be singing this for days! DAYS! That is some brainwashing stuff right there, and it will NEVER come out. You will be sitting alone in a nursing home 70 years from now fast asleep when suddenly you wake up and start singing this uncontrollably and from out of nowhere! Senility will remove everything from your mind EXCEPT this song!

I enjoyed this a lot! It made sense to me, and I had a fun time watching it. I also feel that it could be a good (although abstract) companion piece to the video 'Alight' by Kingdoodle. I implore everyone to look at both videos and see if you also think that they would go well together. That is my opinion, but I am just one voice. What do YOU think?

[How To Basic - Animated P]

Keep in mind, I'm not trying to be mean, I'm only trying to help: It was pretty boring and simple. Now, the basic rule for making videos (animations especially) is that you don't need to be overly complicated or convoluted to make a good one. But I think that you might have taken it a bit too far. Audiences don't need a whole song and dance number to be entertained, but for those who don't get the reference, this is really like watching almost nothing. The end is surprising, but I think most people won't get it.

Punch-Dance responds:

thanks for the feedback! i made after watching likeof his 10 videosand laughing and not knowing why it would be so popular, i never considered anything else after that. I wondered how i could make sure people get the joke but then got carried away with the whole simple idea i had at first and just dropped it and made this hoping people get it haha. I'll defiantly take your feedback into consideration

Vulgar in some places, creepy as hell in others, with a good surprise ending. All in all, this video kept the viewer just unbalanced enough for the ending to SMACK home and get them to laugh their butts off. The charming British accent accent was definitely a bonus, without a doubt and-
Wha- what was that?
N-no, I don't want to!
Go away, I'm trying to review!

TELL IT LIKE IT IS! Oh HELL YEAH! Dumbest merger EVER!!!! >:(

Scary. As. Fuck.

[Coraline Intro]

I thought it was going pretty good until the part where her parents are watching her leave. They didn't care enough to do that, which was the main reason why she was a prime target for the Beldame. It might have looked better if the ghosts were more human like, but moved too quick to distinguish as individuals. Then there is the three green eyes, which I thought was Wybie, until I saw a camera like thing come out of a log (too small for any child, and so NOT Wybie). Also, it is a good idea to add a small hint of the Other Mother, but instead of showing her needle-hand grabbing the doll out of thin air, maybe an above-shot of it on an old desk. She reaches over (hidden off screen) with needle-hand, and drags it off, leaving scratch marks in the wood. I would have left off the unraveling scenery all together, as it feels like you are giving too much away. For the intro, you want to give them just enough to hook them in and get them interested, not a visual summary of the story. I hope this helps. Good start, good start! :)

FrozenFire responds:

There are a lot of great points here! A lot of the time I just abstracted pieces of the film to where those who've seen it understand and those who haven't will simply be intrigued.

Pretty much wanted people to not know what the intro was for until Coraline pops out of the house. After that it's just abstracted references.

[Alight]

This video was beautiful, truly exceptional. I disagree that fire is the destruction of life, but believe that fire is the creation of new life from destruction. Yes it is dangerous, but new life does come out of it, like the rebirth of a forest after a terrible blaze. When fire meets water, steam (a type of air) is made; when lava meets water new earth is created.
But to the meaning: Here we see that in the beginning was life born and consisting of only nature. Machinery and technology tried to kill nature and take its place in life, But technology can not replace nature and results in the destruction of both of them along with life. Man has both the potential and the ability to create technology deep inside us, but we would be only skeletons without nature. Nature gives us warmth in our bodies and minds and fluidness in our movements, things that cold machines can never truly provide. We are the sons and daughters of nature, and our quest for technological perfection may very well destroy us unless we learn to balance the two.
At least, that was my interpretation. :)
