Do you think it was TOO stylish and cool for the given event? My two emotions were, "Wow, this is f*ckin cool!" and, "This is very haunting." I don't think those two reactions should get mixed with such a sobering event.
Or does the style and execution actually pull it off and succeed?

i have seen it a long time ago already, but i still think it's fucken brilliant!
and not in any way romaticized, it perfectly shows the drama thru typography, image and sound.
very, very well done imho.

my feelings exactly. if it was not realted so such tragic event I would say "It F"#king Rocks!".

I do agree it's an excellent journey for the viewer. I guess I've got that lame mindset going of: the WTC went down, so don't show any pics of the WTC; or: there was a high school shooting, so don't show any angry students in a school!
*smacks side of head*
Get out of there, lame mindset! :p

I did not have the feeling at all, it didn't have the speed/vibe to make it 'entertaining', altho it is very engaging in a different way.

very engaging != entertaining?

I think it's understated, which is why it works. The emphasis is on the dialogue, not the design. Really well done.

It's a very 'difficult/sensitive' subject to cover, i think JJ Walker has done it with real emotion.
I posted it because i thought it really made me think [again] about what went on, on that day.
Sheer madness.

remember, after you engage you might be entertained... or not.

eh....
well, a documentary about inhabitants of Tschernobyl can be engaging, but would you label it entertaining?
or am I wrong?

michael. nice transport from CL.

but that would be a documentary. Real footage, real people, showing the real consequences of that tragedy. Although based on a real tragic event, I don't believe you would ever see a fancy MTVesque vector after effects portraying what happened in that tragic day...

hahaha, but that's sooo much in the subjective eye of MTV-biased kids.. sorry.
see it as a form of graphic communication, motion with universal symbol and proper type, creating emotion with integrity and a strong concept.
not just fancy MTV graphics..
my god, have we come to the day that anything derived from the Swiss design era (with strong communicate value) is just eye-candy for the pop-idol drooling MTV teens?
