Great work
First,
Awesome effort, I like the direction. The "camera" movements were slightly dizzying, but not a real problem as I understood where you were going with that.
The voice was hard to understand at first, but then I noticed it was an accent not badly said words. So i got used it it and understood better. I watched a second time to get what I didn't understand at first . I would suggest other viewers try that if they cant get past the accent...it takes time for us to adjust to it sometimes.
Great story, a real tragedy with small sprouts of hope which end in more tragedy. So sad, but that's how life is sometimes.
If I may make a suggestion, perhaps you can continue the story? See how he copes and continues with his life. After all, there is no real end, just new beginnings.
Awesome story there. Very nice first submission 5/10
I hope to see more in the near future :-)

The rest is for two reviewers below me:
@Anubes - Not everyone can speak English clearly. If you expect perfect in life, you will always be dissapointed. If you listen carefully, you can pick up enough to get the idea of what is being said. Obviously the speaker is not practiced in English and should not be penalized for not being perfect. It is a clear voice, just has a very thick accent. And the quality was great. Your expectations again are too high. Don't compare Hollywood quality with what you see on this site. You would be dissapointed every time. The actual animation , as much of this site has is called Limited Animation. Meaning fewer inbetweens than you might find in an animated full feature movie in a theater. A little more inbetweens will make it tv quality. But here it is fine. A great effort and story placed. For someone who has never submitted anything, you are very harsh. Lighten up a bit maybe.
@KyuubiT - Man, really? Your flashes are pretty rookie too...I'd say that the site itself consists of 90% rookie efforts...that's how the great animators start out. Its like telling someone they are a noob...pointless..we all start out inexperienced and do better as time and efforts go on. Plus thisd is the guys first submission, maybe his first flash ever. So maybe give him a break huh?
But I agree mostly on what you said for the rest. Good scoring. I , myself score based on both story, quality in EFFORTS (also base done past work VS current progress) I'm an animation teacher and deal mostly with 3d animation so I don't work in flash much. but I may someday submit something. Maybe. We'll see lol
