I absolutely love this story and everything about it! I think the overall story structure was really strong, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching every minute of it. Just a heads up, the audio cuts out around 4:53 (but it comes back later at 6:00)! Maybe reach out to help@storyxperiential.com? The drawings and characters have so much emotion and personality, and the story was carried even without the audio in that part. I love your drawing style, and I can completely imagine seeing one of your short films on the big screen :-).

Emma, this is really great!! It's so cool that you went for an entire animatic! I love your dialogue, the use of music, and the great visual transitions. I love seeing Collie struggling and trying again and again. I also love the relationship she has with her friend. (There was a moment with no sound, in case that was not intentional and just an export mistake, maybe you can reach out to the team and reupload. Even without sound in that part, it was pretty clear) - I absolutely love your solution with the phone dying and her not being able to show the ticket. Now it's very clear why she couldn't get in late. I've seen this story growing week by week and I want to congratulate you on this final version!

I also resonate with the theme of balancing work with self-care! I absolutely love the art, and enjoyed the acting very much.

The dialogue and the visuals really made the storyboards come to life! The lessons and the theme about work/life balance really resonated with me!

Julie

Really enjoyed your story! Definitely can relate. I really liked your visuals! The whole reel works really well with the story flow, visuals and dialog. Great Job!

James

Enjoyed this, I love how it was built up in the end. I think most could relate. I think you could have trimmed up a little but overall great work. Take a moment to look mine over

That was fantastic. Your storyboarding skills are fantastic and so detailed. Wonderful how you visualized every scene. Well done on the dialogue too. Together with a great story and good rounded characters this is really was a joy to see. Sorry that there was a piece where there was no sound; but it was still clear enough.

The title on the coffee cup was a very clever idea! The FaceTime conversation made me smile because it made me think of the times when my friends and I would FaceTime and something would always happen: bad reception, pixilated images, and phone falling over. Hahaha.

I liked the message of thinking about your own needs is important. Taking some time for yourself to have fun, relax, doing something that brings you joy, and be with friends or family is always important.

Perfect representation of work life balance struggle and difficulty of saying no while trying to please everyone.

I love cats so was sad to see that the annoying g manager is a cat 😂😂.

It’s great honestly the story boarding and sketches are amazingly detailed and perfect and would’ve loved to know more.

I can see this character having her own series and my kids would love to watch it.

Slick title introduction, your boarding skills are great. I vibe with Collie immensely as someone who has trouble saying no. Someone else already mentioned this but I think you can go back an edit that area where the audio is missing. The boards are well enough for me to parse what's happening though so great all around.

Wow! Such strong acting, voice, and characters, this is great! I love how quickly I can understand these characters and I get invested in the conflict almost immediately. It looks like there's an issue with your audio and it's cutting out for me in the last act-- I'm dying to know how this ends!
