Help me Win a Contest!

Pl0x

So here's the story: I have a movie that I entered into a Film Festival, and apparently I entered late due to one of the most impossible file conversions on modern world history, the dreaded .swf to .mov, and so I'm very behind on the contest which requires a high view count. I really need to win this, and I think I can win this.

But I need views to win.

So would you kind folks of Giant Bomb kindly view the animation seen here.

I apologize for the quality, converting an .swf to a .mov is seemingly impossible.

So far, I've been the only student to submit everything done in flash, I've also been the only one to use actually good free license music, provided by the newgrounds audio portal, and frankly, I think I'm also the most "stylistic," presenting everything in an atari/commodore 64 style (you'll see much more of that when I release the music video, but the ad is also done in that.)

My other video was a music video for "Trio - Da Da Da" which I will release on Newgrounds (in much higher quality) shortly after the Film Festival is over (Thursday 11 PM EST.)

So please, PLEASE, view here, I want to prove to my school that Flash is a viable tool for animation.

Currently my school does NOT have a flash curriculum for animation, despite having Flash on several computers, they simply refuse to educate people. Even the local Computer Science club refuses to use Flash. My TV/Video teacher said that Flash is "dying" and I want to prove otherwise. Oh yeah, HTML5 is perfect for animating, and Scratch can do a better job. >.<

I'll vote for you if it's good.

Why does this sound eerily familiar?

Flash is actually dying and being paved out of the way for very good reasons to be honest with you. There is an obvious reason why your school isnt teaching it. 

Watched it and um.. its not very good.

Yo dawg, that was bad.

Nothin' Doin'.

It's not supposed to be amazing, it's something I whipped up in a short amount of time to be just better then all the other submissions, but not far surpass them all.

Personally, I like the music video better, that I actually spent a week or two nonstop working on it.

I don't know. It's OK I guess. The joke could be funny-ish, but the timing feels wrong.

Oh dear. I'm afraid that these fine fellows are correct, that was horrid. 

Try stop motion! Made this in like a week:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EYWuW3ZC1A 

I don't think it was horrible, a minor adjustment I'd make if I knew even a fraction of how to do what you did, would be to show the frame where the RED / BLUE signs are for just a bit longer, so we have time to interpret what's going on.

I think there will always be a spot for flash, but mainly on web sites. For movies? Nope!

Only need a few more to break 200, then I'm on the fast track to winning, please help me get there guys.

" @bukkookkub: Honestly, looking at it now, I really wish I could re-record.

The sound sync is also completely off, the car crash sound comes a second after it does normally.

Since when is Flash dying?

Flash might be dying as an embedded web format, but a lot of regular animation studios use Flash; especially those with limited budgets.

it sucks that you don't have flash classes in school, im in a class that teaches it for a certain portion of the year as my major being digital media (which was a waste of time)

i would have to disagree with some people out there saying flash is dying because many websites nowadays are made in flash, along with flash animations and games

but just to be negative for a sec, the animation wasn't entertaining. im not a flash expert or anything but this vid has no entertainment value

edit: i must say though, even though your getting bad rep, your still getting views.
