A Decent Prelude To Future Work...
I liked this animation - whether you put some thought into the story or whether you're borrowing from the other sources for inspiration, you've set yourself an excellent foundation for some eye-watering flash skills going forward.
Audio was nothing overly-fantastic but you'll agree it wasn't needed for more than mood music and shouldn't detract from the flash. Animation style was good too, though sometimes it could be a little cleaner - e.g. the announcer's glasses could have had frames to distinguish them from his face more, and the glove was monotone - some detailing, or colour gradient would have made it strand out. I can see it becoming quite key in future flashes so making it distinct seems important.
By way of constructive criticism I'd recommend some clarity around the setting - the speaker was talking to a room, but we don't know why, who he's talking to, or what the peace corp are - is this year 2007 or the future?
Some panning across a shadowy audience or glimpses of key figures in the crowd would be good to give some ambiguity and keep the people watching wondering who he's talking to. I can't second guess where your series is going but the background snippets all put future episodes into a nice context.
All in all, really decent flash skills and I'll be watching future episodes to see where this goes!
