Not something I would want my friends or classmates to see. Animation is ok, and follows the dialogue, but based on your voice, you sound old enough to be able to write a MUCH better script.

Flamin-Daniel responds:

Yeah, I only had four days to work on it. And I was 14 when I made this. I don't know if that helps your case it not but, yeah.

It has some powerful potential
Animation and art quality could be better
2/5 is my rating

Flamin-Daniel responds:

Thank you very much. Ann's it's sloppy because I only had four days to work on it.

Ok. First, I may be giving this a low score but I just don't want to walk away without telling you what you can do to improve your story telling technique. I'm not trying to be mean I just want to help.

Number one, the intro was messy. You tried to cram a bunch of jokes in to the first minuet of your film one right after another. This felt like you went way off topic and kinda forgot about your subject for a solid thirty seconds or so. It may not seem like much, but when you are working on a deadline that thirty seconds would be more effectively utilized getting to the main point of the film and the characters that you read about in the book. This brings me to my second topic.

also a quick one point five, try to not to make gay jokes as they are not to well received in this day and age.

Number two, who are the characters and what are there motivations? Because you spent so much time on your intro we were rushed through meeting characters and their role in the story were boiled down in to a quick one word synopsis. Also, who were these characters? we largely met them as you were rushing through your explanation so we did not know who they are are even why they are important to the story.

My recommendation for your next project would be to storyboard out your project first so you can see these shortcomings before they make it to screen. You put a lot of effort in to this and it shows so lets put some polish on it and make it something that can really shine.

Flamin-Daniel responds:

I thank you very much, and looking back at it I agree with everything you said. Your points were very valid and taken into consideration.
Now the gay, that's a personal issue. I used that because that's what people have actually said to me.
