Great job!
This was a really nice balance between a deep and symbolic message and beatifully rendered artwork. The animation itself was smooth and very well done. The music choice was great, I think using voices would have just messed up the flow of the piece.
One thing that sort of bothered me was the way the calendar spun when the pages were flying off of it. It was a little too distracting, and didn't fuse well over the image of the scarecrow. That was a good way to show passing time, I'm just not sure about it spinning like that.
Other than that, excellent job. Keep up the awesome work. :]
