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.

noice! Although it was on some sort of NG Player (Which lags like hell on my pc and keeps stopping to buffer) It was still sweet! I'm gonna watch Part 2 (if its out yet)

Pretty good! I liked the style,the feel and the animation. Although it was a bit choppy at times it was still appealing,and the story made me focused and interested all the way through although it was a tad cliche I enjoyed it. I love stuff like this.I also hope you keep the jazz feel to it,cause I enjoyed that also. Only nit pick I have is the voice actress,shes very hard to understand and lack any emotion. I would recommend her to exert herself more and put in more feeling or just get another who can do a better job. But I'm sure she'll manage.By the way the chracter with the yellow suit,who goes by the name "Bro" reminded me of Gurren Lagaan,the character Kamina also goes by that name Bro. But yeah dude good stuff,look forward to the other.

Awesome, felt like I was watching the beginning of an epic movie. Everything was great except from the girl's voice acting, that was pretty bad. Maybe it was the equipment, not sure.
