I'm uncertain...
I'm having a hard time deciding what rating to give this. What strikes me most about your animations, is not the animation itself... but your ability to represent the colors of the situation so well in certain reels. Most notably the man walking through the sunlit woodscape, the opening ninja scene, and theairplane in the storm...
The animations themselves however... just feel hit and miss, and not nearly as fluid as they could be. The animation of old wartime pics was very impressive, but the frame by frame just lacked weight. I think if you work on giving them more secondary movement, you're definately heading down the right path.
The reel as a whole is well put together, with a nice sound track. So I'm going to go with a strong 7. Ah hell.. weak 8.
