This story has been used to death, but nevertheless, this is a decent video. I really liked how you did all the outside shots, I thought they looked pretty nice. The snow falling was a nice touch. The narration wasn't the highlight of the video, but it was pretty good...maybe next time use just a tad more emotion? The only problems with this film really is the animation and lighting. The screen for some reason seems overly bright, and the animation is very choppy. Thanks to the overly bright screen, it didn't really give a warm feeling of Christmas, but rather a cold, harsh, feeling. So next time, just try to make the lighting seem more "warm", since are you trying to film something heart-warming. There were a few light flickers as well, but nothing too bad. The sets were nice. And the outside shot of him opening the windows is done very well...it is kinda how I always pictured it when reading the story.
I think overall you guys did a good job, just try to work on the animation and lighting, and you will be set! Also, a bit more music would of really helped. My rating is a 5.5/10.
