Awesome animation! I really like this one.

Though, seeing "Freedom of Speech" tower crumbling to nothing is a bit disturbing (especially given the context of the lyrics)! :)

Nice work!

[CenterofAttentionLtd]

The only thing I would change is the text over lyrics.

But seriously, an AMAZING video!

Look into graphic design for a major. You have great use of space. Did that make sense? I mean your camera work in your piece was good.

I finally got a derogatory comment from Messenger4...um "truth." *Cough, cough.* I now feel like part of the video contest group...yeah, I blocked him a couple minutes ago. Peace!

[sparkybennett]

you have now been initiated - cheers!

[mindya12]

Oh so you got christened huh? He's nuts. Well glad that you blocked him.

But watch out, he keeps coming back as someone else.

[blackstumpdingo]

Good job mate!!

[mindya12]

OH OH OH!! I totally remember now, I forgot to say what else I liked. It reminded me of the graphics in the credits for Casino Royale the Bond Movie! I loved that!

Also, if you rate the video down, please tell me why so I can learn more/expand my film making skills

Fantastic! Loved the imagery,the use of text and design. Thanks for sharing this great piece.

Good luck!

Is the video about Sam?? Or about ending war, protesting war...we're liking the ones where Sam isn't in the scenes...we already know he is singing the song...too much Sam and it's turns into an ego thing...don't care much to see the singers...just the message, and yours, ChipotlePictures, was dead on! Thank you!

Your video was fantastic...TRULY!! We wish you the best of luck in all your endeavours!! INCREASE THE PEACE & TRUTH ALWAYS!!!

[mindya12]

Sam is the Artist singing the song. What rock video do you see that doesn't have the Artist in a lot of the scenes, or most of the scenes?

[MaQDaddee]

Visuals have energy, and a Frank Miller-ish neo-noir vibe. Very cool.

Comments about the potential "subtitle" effect resulting from text matching lyrics has valence, but more so in a video consisting of "narrative" news footage, less so in a video like this one consisting of "graphic poetry."

Did you intend the puppet/control scene as an allusion to The Godfather posters?

Definitely different; definitely a contender. I like it a lot.

[ChipotlePictures]

I never thought of those Godfather posters. Although Coppola is a HUGE influence it completely slipped my mind. You know what they say...great minds think alike : ) Thanks so much!

[ruez30]

Some really cool stuff in here. Your timing is pretty good too. I agree that you didn't use Sam quite enough, but you do have some great graphics. I agree with Greatgig1 about the control scene. Good Luck!!

[mindya12]

Brilliant! Oh man! There are way too many good videos out there now! You did a fabulous job on this video. I can't believe that you are in high school! Keep up the good work! You will be very successful in your career path! Blessings!

[ChipotlePictures]

Thanks to all of you who commented for your support and kind words. I was thanking you each individually, but that proved to be a bit of a large task... :)

Peace...

Awesome!!!!!!

[WIZAURADPRO]

Awesome Work!

[waronwarwatcher]

excellent job

[Welcome2MyMind]

Far better than most but falls short in some areas, in my opinion. No need for text over lyrics which are already strongly delivered vocally by Sam. You created some interesting special effects with good graphics but had dirty greenscreen problems here and there (as did most everyone else). Not enough clips of Sam since it's his music video. Overall, your team did a good job.

[Commanderloochy]

Yea the graphics look really good, especially in high quality. if you want to watch it in high quality just add &fmt=18 to the url.

[roensb2010]

amazing man, great job, hope you win, 5 stars for sure!

[GreatGig1]

Very cool graphics! I liked the control on puppet strings. Good luck to you in the contest! Peace always...:-)

[newhampshirefree]

Incredible. This video is amazing. You have one fine submission right here. I don't need to wish you any luck, because your work speaks for itself. Top notch, an instant 5-star rating. I LOVE IT! :-)

[VLPRESL]

this is fantastic. everything fit perfectly, and in such a unique way. what a wonderful contribution. thank you!-vicki

[maxman5]

Great job! I will have to watch it a few times to be able to find something to critique. Well done. Wasn't repetitive. Thats a good thing.

[MarkShyers]

Great Graphics. Well Done. Peace

[codabrother]

Great message, great special effects, and overall just a great video. Very professional.

[ChipotlePictures]

Please rate and/or comment to help me improve my film making abilities. Thanks so much to Sam Harris for the opportunity and good luck to all of those who entered. There are a lot of great messages out there!

P.S. The random shape that appears on the figure of Iraq at one point is because of YouTube's conversion, and is not in the actual original video.

[ChipotlePictures]

Oh yeah, watch it in high quality. It looks WAY better.
