Alright, So I have been holding on to this one FOREVER... But I'm really nervous about submitting this because I don't know... It's not exactly my normal work... But since my last flash that I submitted yesterday did alright I figured what do I have to lose by submitting this one...

Please Comment! I can only hope you will enjoy this....
Thanks Always!

If computer animation had existed in the 1960s, this is what they would have produced. Beautiful work. And the song is a bit repetitive, but suits the theme.

"very decent work."

quality. you obviously have some art training. your whole design theme was pretty cohesive, I respect your work and SHOULD definitely look at your other work.

a few comments: noticed all the formal and informal symmetry across the vertical axis and some across the diagonal... that works great with the whole 'simple song'... and the design seemed to complicate maintaining a simple design as the background of the music also does.

I don't understand: why is the original ground level flat when it curved outside of the magnifying glass? I have a BA in graphic design, I had to ask.

very striking how the barren tree is the first and basically only element in the clip that is not symmetrically balanced, repeated in its very differing branches.

I love how the end has buttons to stop and start the music up again - could you make it one button, or, appear to be one button with different text start/stop? do I see echoes of Pikmin?? oh, and you inspired me to wikipedia sufjan stevens, who I am not familiar with. thanks! :-)

loved this much better than your other submission, i was actually wondering if the strawberrys would get clocks on them, but then i realized, that would just ruin the vid. Nice.
