View Full Version : My new Flash movie...

I guess this would go in the humor forum. It feels out-of-place in Off-Topic with all those politics threads, and definately doesn't go in the computer forum.

Anyway, after about a month of working, I have finally finished my newest Flash movie. Do not expect a significant plot, do not expect this to be laugh out loud funny, and do not expect to absolutely love the movie and watch it over and over. This is not meant to be one of those movies. It's just a short, two minute movie full of in-jokes and cameos that I thought would be fun to do. Pretty much every random thing you see there has some sort of reference to me in either real-life or something else.

All I really want is for this not to be hated. But even so, I still want feedback, so anything short of personal attacks I will take as constructive criticism.

Anyway, hosted by the crappy Geocities, my newest Flash movie (416k):

Subliminal messaging!
For some reason (maybe because I'm Asian) I feel great pride in Far East Asia (Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Mainland China, etc.) and like my vacations there much more than Europe. But often, I feel like the world feels the opposite... maybe subliminal messaging can change world opinion! :p

Not really funny, but still really cool. I could never draw like that via flash... I don't think I could draw like that at all :D... Especially the missiles.

Very nice. What do you mean subliminal messages. I didn't see any, unless you mean like the "Vote for Kerry" sign in the bushes. By the way. Where do you get that kind of software?

What subliminal messages? What "Vote for Kerry" sign? What software? I have no idea what you're talking about...

Ok you can deny the subliminal messages abd the incorrect "Vote for Kerry" sign but what seriously is the Flash software? Like what type.

The "Vote for Kerry" sign can also be viewed as something besides my own beliefs. I'm from the SF Bay Area in California, as the first sign says, and the school is actually mine. Here pretty much everyone is Liberal, other than a few who mostly seem to keep quiet. So it's only natural for there to be numerous Liberal type sign things around here. Actually, not so much "vote for Kerry" as "Bush sucks." Also, I have a feeling that Kerry will lose, so yeah.

Flash is an animation software. It's kind of hard to go much further than that. Most internet games seen on Yahoo! or other places are done in Flash. Many websites are done in Flash. And some people, like me, use it for making movies. I already posted a deeper explanation here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=88163).

Some of the cameos are more than just random. For example, Room 101 is a direct 1984 reference, and sometimes I feel like school IS my Room 101. Which is why the school bell is called "The Liberty Bell." That and the fact that I didn't know how to draw a regular school bell. :p

I know Flash is supposed to be expensive soft ware. But how much does it usually run?

Usually run what? All I know about the cost is that it is too expensive. I got my copy from a friend and *ahem* :mischief:

I dunno, around $300 or so. You can go to www.macromedia.com and see for yourself. I would download the free trial first before, ehm, looking for the actual thing...

Discussion of illegal activities are prohibited on this site. I will state, however, that I did not pirate it off the internet. Past this point everything is up to you. :p

K whatever. Ive heard many different versions on whats illegal though. Some people say burning software to give to someone is illegal. Some say it's only selling it that's illegal? What is it, cause I know they dont make burners for nothing.

burners "official" purpose ius to store large amount of data, wheter it be music, text, images, or w/e else could be put onto a floopy onto a CD that can hold more memory than a floppy

my version: as long as you don't make any $$$ it's all good

You can burn copies for your own personal use as backup, but anything apart from that is illegal.

"Cough" Spam "Cough"
Excuse me. ;)
Now to get us back on track, I liked it, kinda. The animation was funny, it had no purpose, and it had funny subliminal messages. :lol:

Ok would you shutup about the spam. I'm seriously not trying to spam, and if the mods think otherwise I won't argue if they close this or do something. I'm just trying to find out so I dont get in trouble for doing something illegal.
