... 14 / 16 years old and you both have this sort of artistic vision? I'm very impressed. But the exectuion was lacking, somewhat. Let me get technical:
- Graphicly, well, the drawings were very inventive, most the most part, and quite original. The backgrounds, I think, deserve a special kudos, eventhough they're just some random textures.
But, the overall drawing and animation quality felt slightly lacking. Some drawings, in particular the hibrid black building / creature with white markings was very detailed and well drawn; but others, in particular the other black creature thingy, felt slightly poor.
It shows that two diferent people ended up combining their efforts, since there is a clear division in style and quality, sadly. This is the one aspect I'd try to work more, next time, so that it feels more integrated.
- Great music choice! I felt that it really added to the movie and makes things move along well.
- No real story, as much as I can tell, so I won't comment on that, but I didn't get much of a feel for whatever sort of allusions you were trying to make, if any. Lengthwise, it was pretty good, although maybe it could have been slighter shorter.
Overall, a fine experimental movie, that deserves major kudos if both of you are truely so young as you profess, since it shows some interesting and mature visions that aren't easily created. It just could have been better drawn and animated, really. Cheers!

yeah we're teenagers.
I think young folk often flock to experimental stuff because its more fun to play around than to spend ages writing a good story and then animating it well. if its experimental, you can just try things out.
thanks for the review
