finished film

i would like some feedback on the animated film that i have made as part of my installation for my MA. the large scale sculptures that form the other part of the installation have been on display in my gallery as i make them creating feedback and public opinion, but so far only friends and family have seen the finished film.
as i already have 3 websites to manage i thought it best to add this film to my blog, rather than create a whole new site.
i would really appreciate and welcome all comments.
thankyou.

The Movie is finished!!

Stripey Finds Himself is finally finished.. Music is composed, thanks to the wonderful Samuel Bordoli. now i just need to finish those giant sculptures, and figure out how to get them to uni and put everything together...gulp
