That was truly insane. Very suspenseful, it was killing me. A great example of the classic underdog story, and well played out. The animation and graphics...intense. Great job.

I wish I knew animation.

technicly exelent. Really well done. Very nice character design, modelling, rigging and animation. The backgrounds look great. But the story seems really poor. It doesn´t have any structure at all. In my personal opinion the literary script and the direction are the bases of a shorftilm or a movie, if that isn´t wright don´t go with it. In this case I think that you fell in love with the idea, the struggle against drugs and this Earl Manigault person as a reference, but forgot to write a really powerful script and direction that translate all of that. Cause just by watching the film I don´t get all this background information and I don´t percieve a story from it either.
I don´t mean to be rude, at all. But I´m used to be judged really hard with my own films, and those opinions, the honest ones are the ones that helped me improve myself. Keep the good work! :-)

I totally agree - the modeling, lighting effects were excellent, and having read the text I can now understand the backstory, but it needed a much clearer structure to make sense in the context. Perhaps even cut with a couple of text-panels near the start (or throughout).

The message is - make sure your material's *real* good if you want it to match with your animation skills.

Nice work.
