ANIMATION: 3 YEARS IN IRAQ (sneak preview)

[Ava]

Hey everyone. I got great feedback the last time I posted a sneak preview to one of my animations so I thought I would do it again. The animation is named "3 Years" and it's a little over 3 minutes long. Because the animation is longer than most the file sizer is larger(4MB)


Hope ya'll like it and any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

2. Very good!

You have a typo though. You have 17,00 instead of 17,000. Otherwise, very moving.

[Ava]

9. Seems to me that many of the photos haven't been shown before

Why did the MSM keep them from us?

[Ava]

10. CBS News is actually a really good site

to find photos from Iraq. I get a lot of images from there.

18. AAA ...

... As Always, Ava.

You manage to remind us that in the midst of the political in-fighting, the arguments over who did what, when and why, there is really only one thing that matters. People.

Thanks once again for the reminder.

What we need to set this world of ours back on course is People who care about each other. People who know that there is a better way to resolve differences of ideology. People who realize that when we destroy each other, we destroy our own humanity.

All we need is a few good People to promote that idea.

It's not an easy job, and the financial remuneration is negligible.

And people who are not moved to tears by your incredible work need not apply.

[Ava]

21. thanks so much NaceGreggs!

you've made my night, i mean morning ;)

[NanceGreggs]

22. No ...

... thank YOU!

Your work is truly remarkable.

I'm off to bed now.

Peace be with you. Peace be with all of us.

Peace be with the People who strive every day to make Peace happen.

[Ava]

37. Hairs Standing at the back of my NECK!!!

such sad images, look on the American side you see soldiers dieing and on the Iraqi its Sons and Daughters.

When will all this stop!!!


Question: How can we get main stream media to view this?

Answer: Have you tried uploading on DKos (Daily Kos Blog)

might be some thing to think about....love the Chris Isaak music makes it even solemn.





:yoiks: :patriot:

[Ava]

38. thanks spokane!

i'll look into the Daily Kos Blog. I love Christ Issak and I knew that song would fit perfectly! He has the most heartbreaking voice!

[Ava]

39. linked on C&L

the animation was linked on Crooks and Liars this morning!

[w8liftinglady]

41. That was so incredibly moving.

I particularly liked the way you alternated the iraqi and American losses.Just as most of the country doesn't understand the sacrifice our soldiers make,we can't appreciate the suffering the Iraqis have endured.excellent work.

[Ava]

42. thanks so much!
