Have your characters be more unique or easy to identify
Add more animations to certain dead moments of the film
Upgrade or improve the backgrounds somehow
Use your "Canadian" voice to narrate
Have a shorter film, condensing it.

A short film I made for the 49 hour competition by MG Collective April 8th 2016. To my knowledge the contest was never judged, but I have seen some of the other videos from it posted recently so I figured I would put mine up.

My main goal for this project was to see how much I could get done in a short amount of time. I did all the set up and animation within about a 24 hour window, and came up with the story and comped it together and did audio with the rest of the time. I am fairly satisfied with how it turned out. I would definitely like to revisit it someday when I have the time to make the sets and characters more detailed, and iron out the finer details of the story itself.

Let me know what you think.
