"Most excellent"

I love this. The choice of music is both awesome-Cowboy bebop RULES!- and incredibly appropriate. My only problem with the music it is the poor edit job you did there, when you cut a section out. If you'd just yanked it altogether, as opposed to fading it, it would have been much better.

The graphics were awesome.

I didn't even LIKE The Great gatsby, and I loved this.

Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books and the fast pace of this animation went along really good with the Cowboy Bebop theme. Pretty cool.

"Well, we meet again, I see..."

You sir, are very dexterous, directorially speaking. Although certain aspects of your visual presentation are somewhat underdeveloped, I perceived such shortcomings only peripherally. In the interests of objective critique, I am compelled to note the slightly crude nature in which the drawings and the animations are conceived. However, and this is an emphatic “however”, I do not believe that this infringes upon the general essence or quality of the piece.

Very much akin to “Hiroshima”, you once again reassert your command of atmosphere and aura. You accomplish this in a number of ways. Your pacing, your choice of musical accompaniment, your color schemes, and your transitions amalgamate into a rather effective conduit for the presentation of your themes. As the flash approaches its climax, the music, the pace, and the scenery become increasingly more unpredictable and hectic, perhaps reflecting the entropy and chaos that marked the final plight of Gatsby. You (and Fitzgerald, for that matter) seem to advance forth a thematic paradox— whereas money is generally regarded as the manifestation of control, it ostensibly fueled the torrential procession toward degeneracy and loss of control within the story. I though your flash incorporated and represented this notion very well.

This skill of yours is difficult to develop. It is, however, inherent to your enterprise. Exploit it. Nevertheless, although I do realize that this is a school project, I would like to see you progress in your aesthetic and visual sophistication. That would certainly expedite the awesomeness of your work. There, was that constructive enough?

Cheers
