Argh, it's so hard to figure out what I want to rate this.
The first time I watched it, I thought it was super impressive; I just didn't get the point. I then read your comments, and after watching it a second time, it made sense. I then watched it a third and fourth time to see what I missed :P So, no, the message wasn't clear on the first run through.
I don't usually watch things more than once or twice in a row, but you have a knack for keeping me interested; even with the Professor Layton series (Which my friends and I quote daily.)
Art and backgrounds were great! The animation fit the song well, and the cuts were perfectly timed. Also liked the fast forward effect you used in the classroom scene.
Okay, I've decided to 10 this.

Being the third entry into a series, I really don't blame anyone for not getting this at on the first view. The real goal was to animate something I liked that wouldn't pit me in a corner. The Don't Trip animations were typically (up to now) really action packed, and I love having the freedom to try something different--so I took an action animation and mellowed it out a bit. Had some fun with characters, tried to improve my backgrounds and polish, and generally just had a really enjoyable time.
Same goes for the Layton animations. Luke and Layton yelling at each other makes for an easily well-accepted entry in the series, but I'd like to try other kinds of comedy and animations-styles even in that series to keep it fresh and fun to work on. All the future decisions I make may not be popular, but I'll always have fun making what I work on, and when you stop by and throw in some nice words of encouragement my way, it makes the experience all the more sweeter. :3

Contrary to popular belief, a lot of stick movies actually have pretty good animation. I've consistently seen good timing, weight, and rhythm in a lot of these lately. At least the ones I've seen. I think it's pretty lame to zero bomb just because they're sticks.
Also, great job linking the action to the music! It really helps to draw the viewer in.

Borderline bad, even. Think about adding depth to your logo.

I love this song C: I'm totally filing it in my 'Strong possibilities' folder for Flash.
I especially love the part around 1:07. Oh! and 1:20! Wow! You completely amazed me at the end there!
Yeah, squeezing tears out of an audience with this song would be so easy.

I thought that adding piano at the end would mix it up a little, so that you're not hearing nothing bu guitar. Obviously that worked :D

I love most of your works, and I'm constantly looking for places to use them! They set a great mood :D
The only critique I have is the microphone puffs ): Makes me have to do some editing in Audacity xD

I really like your vocals! I'm already wanting to use them in a Flash. Though, I like the other version of this clip a little better. Quality could be a little better, but I understand that good equipment costs money.
Overall, awesome job!
Author's Response:

but I do plan on buying some editing software to clarify my recording soon.
