Pre Crit Design

After careful deliberation I decided to bring 3 versions of my final animation to crit, 1 with a full voice-over, one with a partial voice-over and one with just the soundtrack. I will present the full voice-over one first and leave it at that if everyone validates my choice. For ease of playback and file transporting I downscaled my video to 1280x720, which should still preserve quality to an extent, the final submission will be in 1920x1080 format. The issues I intend to raise for discussion in the crit are as follows:

• Is the start attention grabbing enough?
• Is the movement of the globe realistic? 
• Does the part from the falling cactus to the rope swing flow in a visually pleasing way?
• Do the soundtrack and voice-over conflict in terms of volume and tone levels?

Below is the version of my animation I will present at the crit:
