  • What a depressing presentation! If I would have done the work she has done, I would have at least known better how to present my work.

    She is unprepared, casual, unclear about the inspirations, moving too quickly from one point to another without having completely explained the former and not doing so with the latter as well.

    She is talking too much about how she did the project in the beginning instead of talking about the film and it's inspirations clearly before going into the making.

  • Love all the good work you are doing. Not only with your animation but raising people's consciousness about copyright laws.
