Very well done, especially considering that this is the first time. I'm trying to think of ways to make improvements, but nothing immediately comes to my mind. It has it's own feel, and is consistent in cadence and presentation.

I'm sure you all already have ideas for what you will do on the next one, but this is a very solid place to start. I don't think RSA animate has anything on this.

The only thing I can think of is whether or not you've tried to mix photos in the animation. But, it might be jarring, and this is a conceptual topic, so the photos wouldn't necessarily translate anything extra.

Congratulations, and thanks for the shout-out. :)

Thanks mk. At the moment these are my ideas for improvements:

For myself: quicker and calmer narration (also, about 2 minutes shorter scripts). And a better sign off (still including Hubski of course!)

For my animator: more colour (and a friend has told me smooth frame rate(?))

For my audio-video guy: more sound effects, more experimentation with placement of background music and a cleaner ending.
