Evaluation for Animation to Sountrack

For BA1B Animation to soundtrack I had to design an animated visual sequence to reflect the emotional and/or perceived narrative potential of the music of my choice. I think my animation went fairly well, I went through a few ideas before I reached this outcome. I feel like I matched up the soundtrack to the animation pretty well by using a story. The best part in my opinion being the paws appearing one by one in time to the music. I feel like it matched up well. It was a story that the audience might already be familiar with so it doesn't need too much explaining and they still understand. This can be a good thing and a bad thing, in that if they didn't know the story. Would they understand? Was my animation clear enough?

I feel like I could have done more research on animation with soundtrack, I also feel like I could have done a lot more experimenting on flash. The main reason I chose the section of music I did is for the way it fades out at the end, I wanted to create an animation to a narrative. The faded ending felt like it was mysterious, as it's not the end of the mystery.

There are always things I can improve on; I would make everything look more professional. I would find a way to make the forest a bit cleaner looking, I just want to expand my own knowledge of flash and audition. As The audio also isn't as great as it could be.
