What great graphics. My computer did indeed have some slowness with playback on the intensive scenes. I would recommend that you incorporate a quality button of some sort, since simply lowering the quality to medium seems to fix most chugging problems for me. As for the animations, this is superb. Great mix of style, animation, colors, and story. The only complaint I have about all of this is that sometimes there is too much going on the screen at once. The characters are rather complex in their designs, which is an okay thing when there is not a lot on screen, but in the intense graphics and fight scenes, it gets difficult on following whats going on for the most part. I am not familiar with the story/folksong, so this was an interesting story, and very executed. I understood it completely, but I feel some scenes was a bad choice in camera angle.
Anyway, great job! This graphical animation is fun to watch, and the music makes it exciting and fast-paced.

Wow. I came back to this video after watching it for the first time. It made me feel so sick at first, I couldn't eat for a while. Definitly gave me shivers and probably nightmare material for the future. I've got to say, I hate this. I hate this so much, and to evoke emotion like that is amazing. Although it in a negative sense, the ablitiy to produce these emotions as an artist is surpurb trait. So yeah, I dislike this, but can see the beauty in hate and the disturbed nature of the video. Good Halloween material too.

I very much enjoy this. You captured the desert feeling completely, even though cliche, its a nice cliche. The highs and lows that fluctuate definitely blend a lot better than I would have originally imagined, so good job!

Wow! I've never heard of 'duelling banjos' before, and I must say, what a brilliant discovery. I enjoy those deep, low tones that throw in this swampy, murky feeling, however the constant twang of that banjo sound and the quick feeling certainly feels like a fast, dangerous swamp race. Great job, and I enjoy the intro to the song a lot. About the sound quality, it sounds really great and sharp on my end. (But I'm listening to this on some shotty laptop speakers, so I barely hear the bass! Heh) Overall, I'm glad that you put all you did into this song, no matter how long it took you, because it really paid off.
