Wow! This is a great little piece, and indeed, beautiful. Congrats on this work. I hope you're entering it in as many festivals as you can. I'm gonna go on record as saying whatever trajectory you need to take to get this in front of an Oscar animated short panel, do it.
Couple suggestions:
I think the opening pan/zoom into house could be continued during the transition to inside. Some of the frames you repeated for the closeup of bird and woman's face at end might flow better with more varied frames. I don't think it would be too much more work to draw out 5-10 frames for each.

I just checked it out , it is killer, I loved it , one hell of a job
Thankyou both very much. Indeed, that is one hell of a compliment!
I have only just finished it. I've looked into a couple of festivals, but the submission requirements all seem to require a 35mm reel...whatever that is. It all seems so expensive...I'd love to go to these festivals, but how am i going to afford it? So...I figure 20,0 00 views on facebook might be a good start to getting some publicity. Let the whores come to me! So, please guys...if you watch this film and like it, there's a facebook event id LOVE you to join.

i dont want to show my work to just animation geeks at festivals. They'll criticize the poor boils, like i would, and point out the things only animators notice, like i do. ! Thats why im hoping through the internet, this film could reach a much wider audience, of actual normal people..to whom just maybe some might be touched by my film. So join my event! help me get up to 20,000!

WOW that was amazing. There aren't enough hand animated films being done anymore. This was staggeringly good.
Congrats, best of luck.
That's a terrific video! I just "liked" you on FB. The others couldn't find you, because you put an extra space in your link.

Festivals. You'll get into many of them, if you submit. And your video will do well, I think.

Brilliant.
I'm very proud that you're from Britain, beautiful work.

Okay, here's the thing, if you're going to enter festivals, why not enter one of the *accredited* competitions? If you were to win 'best of category' in one of the festivals listed here: http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/rules/shortsfestivals.html you'd be Oscar eligible (still have to pass judging criteria, but you'd be eligible for that consideration). I think for an animated short, it's a viable option towards getting exposure for your work.
It might be easier for us to make suggestions if you could tell us what your goals are. It's sort of a conundrum suggesting avenues based on one short, other than the festival route. Is your goal to work for a studio on features, etc? Does your county/country offer any artist fellowships for animators?
Very nice work!
hello! thankyou all for your nice comments... yes, i am in the process of submitting films to festivals, but its a long slog. really, my only goal is to get my film seen by as many as possible. so anything that give my piece coverage really! perhaps i could find some online sites that might be intereested to feature my work.
hey, that was indeed very great! I'm an animator myself, although after six years, I'm just now getting into the traditional method of animating on paper [tablet and computer can't measure up]. this inspires me. fantastic job.
