This was a fantastic job, it would have been better if you had the time to animate the dance of the dead part but I certainly understand not having enough time to finish something. This was a great interpration of the song and I give it my highest respect, it is very hard to interprate this song, I have seen so many different views on this song and honestly i don't know what the song is acually about. Might I ask how much time you were givin to complete this?

@OriginalPsychoMan if i recall correctly it was about 4 weeks i think - but it has been a few years :)

great job i'm doing a 3d version if you'd like to see it but it has a different story

[Legato895]

sure! either link it, send the link as a message, or post it as a video reply when its done - i'd love to see what you have!

Absolutely amazing! U guys really should continue on this animation and make it "complete" and maby put in some more animation in it? Anyway, this is so good made that it could be the oficiall video for this song! 5/5!

[Legato895]

that probably won't happen. we have all gone our separate ways but with the time we had i still think we did very well. i slacked off the rest of the class's assignments, so i relied on this to save my grade, and it did.

the animated segments we had in there were to fulfill the requirements for this final. your right, that this isn't complete. its more of an animatic than an animation. if we were to do this again with more time there is more things i would add, but very little i would change.

i belive song is about peoples ignorance to evil, if we all turn a blind eye to it, it slips by us and destroys what often seeks to protect us.

Also greed plays a part in this song also.

i thought the story had alot of relevance to god.. ya know say he had a secret village which was pure.(happy folk) and then the outside word stumbles upon it(strange people) . and corrupts it. in the mountain is the place where all good souls come to rest. (heaven) and in heaven the roads are paved with gold. they steal the gold and kill the people of the village making god angry, god decides to destroy everything just as fast as he created it... anyone agree? idk about the usa thing tho...

It's people like you guys that make music so much better then just music, this was really good and I've always wanted to see a video for this song. Loved watching your interpretation. :D

I love how the kids are playing Pat-a-Cake at 0:17. :-D How cuuuute!

nothing against this vid but is there anywhere a real animation?

[heartsforcats]

Sorry, but i like Jamie's better. Still cool though

[TMtrue]

Whoops, sorry I'm typing on my iPod

They had their own wars too

[TMtrue]

@tidkax except there's one problem with that, the native Americans weren't all peaceful, they had their won wars too

i think the theory of the song should not be polluted or distorted into something it is not, like what the populous of Schools have done with a book called catcher in the rye. a great book is unavailable in schools because so many people believe it stands for anarchy, when it really just a troubled child.... <----- major metaphor for what might happen to this song

[Recedebo]

@OriginalPsychoMan i think that by dance of the dead they refer metaphorically, when they fall dead to the ground...
