Good start
Beautiful. I liked the transformation scene very much, with the man growing older and joining the army. The art style was extremely rudimentary and crude but i guess that wasn't the focus.. The colours are all a bit washed and murky but at least you didn't commit the most common of beginners sins, the gradient. You had some nice some nice camera work but a few more pans could have given the piece an even more cinematic feel. All in all i think you're off to a good start, and with time i'm sure you can make something great.
