After 10 years of lurking Newgrounds:
This is my thesis movie for my graduation as a communication designer with main focus on motion design. Be aware that I'm still a self-taught animator since I didn't go to a college dedicated to animation itself, just movie-making in general, hence Out of Order doesn't look as polished as I wish it would be. I am still proud of it though since this is only the beginning of my animation and storytelling career so it's bound to get alot better!
(I don't have to mention how deadlines chopped away at the storytelling pace, fbf animation and backgrounds.)

Part 2 is already in pre-production and I'm looking forward to work with all the awesome contributors again!

Looking forward to your constructive criticism!

Edit: Fun fact: I did everything with a half-dead mouse, just bought a tablet.

Edit2: Sound quality is stupid after that conversion stuff happened. I'll look into it.

The characters came to life and was put together perfectly. The voice acting was great. A little off, but great. Best flash I have seen tonight, and new flash I have seen in a while.

THAT WAS FANTASTIC!!!! Nothing can describe this feeling of seeing something so well done. I sighted barely any flaws at all in fact I couldn't detect anything at all! Audio was great! And the style was superb! You have the essentials, the know how and the capabilities to create and give everybody what they deserve. You threw out punches and you didn't hold back with your very long creation. This proves and goes to show you what time, patience, perseverance and and artistic eye can take you when you perfect and hone your artistic skills. You sir are fantastic! Don't mind anybody else says. Although I admit you are a true artisan with a hear too for asking the public's hand into giving honest criticisms. I was expecting something that one would put effort into and struggled for the stage. Right here I didn't sens anything of that nature! So as I reiterate, You have done an amazing job and should be proud of your work. You are something that needs to inspire and change it up here for Newgrounds. With you and anyone with the talent and the know how you along with the proud and few can help inspire new and old generations into becoming artisans themselves. You are receiving a solid 5/5 and a 5/5 in voting power! You deserve this score and critique as a man who has the time and patience to undertake and prove that you can be a great artisan by your time and patience to polish and create a powerful devastating final product and that's what you have right here! I hope you keep creating and contributing here and most importantly is to continue on and strive amongst the ranks here. Do me and every other underdog proud friend. Keep up the good work and stay creative and strong. I hope you have a pleasant good day sir and keep sticking with it! Good day.

The animation was smooth, the colors, the lighting... epic. And whats more, an original concept for a story! I can't wait to see how much further this goes. I would have given it a five, had it not been for the audio quality. Some of the line art is a tad bit shaky too. Nice job!

Glad you liked it!
The lineart could've been more polished, but I had a deadline and invested my leftover days in better sound design instead. Can you elaborate on the audio quality? It would really help to know what parts didn't sound so good.
