Well-done animation and affecting narration with very appropriate background music. A compelling message too, though rather a little melodramatic. But still a very keen observation of the artist's mind and their constant struggle with their art not being "good enough". It's true enough that a lot of artists get thoughts like that. However, stating "your art is shit" like it applies to everything is fallacious.
You state it like a fact, but the only fact is that art is subjective. Even those amalgamations of other people's styles can be original; just because someone takes inspiration from another artist doesn't mean they're unoriginal and pretentious. Those previous artists had to take inspiration from something or someone else too. In fact, everything we make is essentially stolen from others - standing on the shoulders of giants if you will.
You can't count all art as being shit because art's quality cannot be quantified objectively. Each individual has their own experiences and will perceive art differently. That's the main point of art - art is not good because all the critics are raving about it; art is good because individuals are emotionally impacted by it and its existence enhances their life. That art will be shit to some but those individuals that appreciate it will think it's beautiful.
You're probably aware of this, and maybe this video wasn't meant to be taken from an objective standpoint but from the point of view of the artist with low self-esteem who feels the need to compare him/herself to other artists. In that case, good work on the "shit" art.

One part really rustled my jimmies.
00:29 "A Frankenstein on canvas"
People often mistakenly believe that the name Frankenstein refers to the monster in the story, but that name is actually attributed to Dr. Frankenstein - the scientist who brought the monster to life. The monster doesn't really have a name and is often just referred to as Frankenstein's monster.
Or maybe you are aware of that fact and "A Frankenstein on canvas" refers to the fact that the artist is emulating what Dr. Frankenstein did (Dr. Frankenstein collected body parts from corpses and combined them together to create his monster). Maybe you meant it in the way that people mean it when they say things like, "that's totally a Dali" or "That's a classic van Gogh" and so on. I'll assume that's the case and give you the benefit of the doubt.

Nice description.

blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
we don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams.
but everybody's like cristal, maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
we don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair."

Meh.
The animation was very simplistic and very childlike. So was the animation and the dialogue, which was in text by the way. As can be seen by the excerpt "Is very strong how beat him?", the dialogue isn't really going to be the central point of the Flash.
So now, on judging the action sequence. It's just a totally horrendous reimagining of Naruto that doesn't do the anime any justice. It's a boring fight sequence that looks very half-assed.
It was a waste of time watching this. You're much better of actually watching Naruto.

Try to improve, thanks

ok.

sorry to be a semantic, but how could he survive 37 years later without eating or sleeping? lol But.. on the animation, good animation. Nice use of black and white color to represent the monotony and lack of color of the degrading and menial task the protagonist has to undertake. Might be a reflection on the unfortunate lives of people who have to work similar sorts of jobs just to survive. Very impressive, hope to see more from you :)

I was going to add some short bits of animation showing the machine feeding him and stuff but I couldn't really come up with anything apart form him being connected to the machine being fed with tubes and such. if I make a sequel I'll add more details.

thanks for the review

umm

do you do this with all your flashes? the title is very misleading.. ok for people who clicked to watch this. It's a total waste of time, it's just an animated guy dancing, don't even bother waiting for it to load. crap. 1 point for pity

thehoopz responds:
