I'm just being the X-factor here...
I'm not going to complain on the art (though you could work on your profiles), and I'm not going to complain about anything being crappily animated, because it wasn't. Everything was crisp as far as visual quality went. That's the reason why I bumped your score up to a 3. It's just... what the heck was that? There was no explanations, no tangible story, and thus no purpose. I just wan't entertained. The artwork and the presentation had me thinking that maybe something exciting was goign to happen. I see a woman with a hood on, obviously of villan-hood, and a man with floating crystals tied to his arm. Then, I get some poorly written text (your repetitive use of words, such as "he saw") telling me that he dies or something, and I don't even get to SEE it. With your obvious background of the arts, I'd figure you'd at least show me the whole thing, and I would've at least given you a 4 because that created a bit more sense of purpose. "Oh, oh, I guess he just wanted to animate some dude dying."
Maybe they're just metaphors? Are they visual poetry representing some sort of emotion, thought or message? Well, shit, I don't know.
