Good luck to you!

Rezfactor.....No problem ,
I still stand by my comment that this should be in a Museum .
Then I would have a different view on this .
AS for value I and others do not but some do as Yourself .
It is thru the eyes of DVX members that view this short that they state their opinion on whether this is ART or NOT, just as they have discussed here in this thread . To ban a short because you or I believe it has no Value/art is WRONG!!!!..I do not believe in CENSORSHIP of any kind .

Maybe I should of said it is un watchable ( for me ) because it had no entertainment value unlike the other shorts here which did.
If he had put a baby beside the meat as has been suggested , then this would of been a different short altogether . Something to make your imagination work. Just my thoughts.

I am open minded .Since the Zombie fest started I can find something positive in a bad short . For example ..In "Charlie Bags an Alien" a lot of members thought this was really bad .BUT I loved it , it made laugh pretty hard .
Just as you found something positive in "FLESH" .

In the end I guess I should of said Thru my eyes I see this as non Art and a short with no value .
Sorry Rezfactor.
I wish for a moment I could see thru your eyes while viewing this short .
I then may have a different take on this .

I think this would have been better with some good sound fx. It seems like you didn't put much effort into grossing people out besides butchering the animal (what animal was that anyways?) I think with some better sound fx it would have really made me cringe. I can't even watch the ER shows, but I was able to sit through this. If the sounds were more stimulating and realistic I'm sure I would have been pretty grossed out. I didn't really enjoy it, but good job on the "idea."

This was a really odd one. Pretty gross. We were all wondering what the animal was. The sounds were pretty disturbing. The colors were vivid. It was well-shot documentary style.

I wish the subject matter had more substance. It kind of drags and goes on a while once your realize what the "gimmick" is. A bit repetetive too. Maybe this should have been a small scene in a larger, more clever short. Shock works best with context.

Gave us something to talk about. Interesting.... I think....
 
Just finally getting the time to copy the notes I compiled in a Word doc while watching the shorts:

What the hell was this? Just some guy butchering a rabbit or other small animal to the crying sounds of a baby? Sure, it was gruesome in spots, but no more than a typical butcher shop would be. I’m assuming this was either one of those artistic endeavors, like nailing a 10 speed bicycle wheel to a stool & calling it art, or was a pseudo message against meat eaters made by a vegetarian or vegan? Ranked the lowest of any in many categories (score, script, acting, etc…)
