"The Follower"- Original Animation (please read the description)

Disclaimer:
(If it wasn't clear from the animation above) I am in no way a Professional animator nor am i learning animation (yet though that is something i am hoping to start this year) so some parts of the animation are not as high Quality as other despite this i am still proud of this animation as a large amount of work has been put into it , i ask that if you are going to criticize the work you provide constructive criticism , I'm not trying to big up my own work or be overprotective i'd just rather avoid falling out of love with it because of some obvious mistake i've missed or looked over, thanks.
The Synopsis:
P̶l̶a̶y̶ ̶a̶s̶ follow Intrepid explorer Gul as they follow the path into the woods armed only with A ball of thread and a curious mind, what exactly will they discover?

While the animation is choppy I absolutely love the backgrounds. Keep it up and keep practicing! You'll only get better over time.

This is amazing! Sometimes the animations was a bit clunky, but nothing too distracting. The art itself is outstanding! I also like your sound design. But overall, some scenes felt off? I think it's the pacing, some scenes take a little bit too long or end abruptly before what happened can really sink in. I think one can see what kind of vision you had for this and it's absolutely lovely, but figuring out how to convey these things in a natural and organic way is a very difficult thing to figure out, indeed. I think if you just keep on practicing and making films like these, they'll be more fine-tuned. Keep in mind I'm no animator/ film producer myself. I have to say, I really enjoyed this film and I look forward for all your future work to come!
