Motion Graphic thesis 'Addicted' by Nicholas Ward

[benbirdy]

quiet hazy the message that u try to bring across there, but might also be the 5 pound of crack that I just had

[KIGKOGFILM]

Nice work

[jakeos10]

The animation is impressive, you are quite talented. But don't mislead the viewers, addiction and dependence are two very different things. Though I may be bias, due to the fact that I am stoned as 'fuck' right now, pot is on this planet for us to use. the same as we use spices and herbs.

dig it.

[nickward4]

True.. thanks a lot.

[AikiNick102]

Wow, you convinced me - I'm gonna quit it xD

[phearthis85]

pretty nice work. i'm just getting in to animation and such. there is still a lot for me to learn.

[eeedel]

Slick work man! An art school in Thailand, what a dream come true. What software did you use?

[nickward4]

all done in AE, I design in Illustrator n' Photoshop. And then Import into AE to animate.

[smitty121981]

I don't think anyone's ever been addicted to pot. What are the withdrawal symptoms? An alcoholic can die from quitting cold turkey. Never heard of anything like that with pot.

I'm going to go smoke a bowel now

[freebearride]

lol why are people critiquing the verbage, voice...that's like the least significant part of it, anyway good job on the animations made it interesting

[Apollo2366]

Wow, very nice! I'd say it need's to be rephrased in some spots though.

[nickward4]

most of it actually.

[how2bomo]

no offence, i don't like the sound of the voice, and the message is rather weak, especially the part with : if you wanna use it, use for pleasure........ not because you're addicted.

if it would be as simple as that, we wouldn't deal with addiction problems, ey mate ?

else, the animation is indeed witty and lifts up your spirit. keep them going

[nickward4]

none taken, I'm probably one of the lucky ones that CAN control it, I meant by Do not get attach to your wants too much.. If that makes any sense.. anyway thanks for the comment. this is one of my early early works,

[aliasmax23]

Yeah - this is cool. Well put. Its up to you what you do with your body and your brain. Think before cramming your senses with chemicals and blissing out. Life is complex. Don't sleep.

[inkybinky]

weak

[ton090]

Pretty good! :)

[Slayer100]

stunning

[DenOndeMister]

It's sort of stupid. "It's up to you." Uhm, no, that's the point of addiction, it's not up to you, you no longer have the ability to make decisions, the decisions are made for you, by your disease.

[Rawkfizt]

I also thought it was kinda stupid at the part where he said, "use it for pleasure." WTF?! That's so retarded. If you use it for pleasure you WILL get addicted.

[jarooFLtutor]

not if you control yourself XD

[artorwar]

Thats not actually true. But I agree with the overall point. But the real issue is his motion graphics are really good and he is pretty good with typo and stuff so well done overall I'd say.

[jervis0]

this is absolutely amazing!

[doserics]

nice !

[j3ckyl]

Really liked the video, well produced and nicely edited, a few points that let you down are mainly grammatical and a convoluted message. I don't agree with what you say and frankly I'm sick of the message, it's a cliche and it's an easy target. Pick something that fewer people will brush off completely.

[artorwar]

Agree completely,whilst I like the graphics I'm really a little underwhelmed by the concept. Keep going though dude.

[jazz4]

great work man

[mlucas86]

simon robson style.yeah i like it..

LUCA

videodesigner from rome

[Gormanmod]

isn't this contradictory to its very message? If you use drugs for pleasure, they control you, as you need more and more and more.

[atropper]

Very impressive.

you did a very good job in compositing.

[aftercikis]

Perfect

[CFDeath]

really cool video u've made there! Will use please inform me about where i can find tuttorials to create vids like this one? Thnx

[nickward4]

it's all done in After effects and most of the animations are basic, so it's not that hard. i dont know what website exactly for tutorials. just google After effects tutorials.

[CFDeath]

Thnx dude! Your video is both awesome visually and meaningfull. Make more vids, godspeed!

[allegropaolo]

thank you

:D
