The fact that this only has a 3.68 and 18 reviews upsets me. It's better than anything I could do, and my retarded shit has high scores for days.
You obviously put considerable effort into this. Great attention has been paid to the visual aesthetic. The shading and environmental effects are nicely atmospheric, and I like the contrast between the defined lines on the rocks, and trees, etc. and the soft city backdrop.
Some of the animations leave something to be desired. Noticeably flawed was the foreshortening on the red-haired fellow's legs during the high angel shot where the car was coming toward the camera, and the car didn't seem to move relative to its placement on the road when he was approaching the window after the crash. But these things don't detract too much from the overall flash. The crash was REALLY well done, as were most of the smoke, splatter, and weather effects. I like that the rain changed relative to the camera angle- that can't have been easy. The animation in the scene with the injured man in the driver's seat reminded me (positively) of Aeon Flux.
Hope to see more.

thank you for your awesome review, i understand fully what you mean about some of the points your pointed out like the inaccuracies like placement etc. Glad you enjoyed it too :-) i really spent a lot and lot of time trying to get everything feeling really cinematic and the overall look and i guess this detracted me from getting everything else perfect like the animation for example.
Im also really glad you compared the style aeon flux, i absolutely love animation style for that and its huge huge influence of my drawing style. glad you picked up on that!
great feedback my friend
