The cinematography and animation are both superb! 

I appreciate the approach you took to the theme. Intercutting three setpieces, each making a different use of the "surface" theme, did a great job of showing the sheer variety of ways the theme could be approached.

Each setpieces has it's own delights.
The lighting in the astronaut scenes is strong, while great character animation and energy are showcased with the guy with the phone, and the car scenes has some fantastic "crashing" footage.

Sadly, something feels "off" with the cars while they are driving. For some reason, they seemed to only wiggle back and forth ad not actually be going anywhere. I think it's because the studs below the wheels never move. At all. Perhaps sliding the baseplate to a half-stud offset then back to normal would have helped sell that effect.

Great job!
