This was another animation that baffled me.  Remember that the animation
should stand on its own, and not require any outside explanations.  I could
not for the life of me understand what was supposed to be happening.

I really do not call this decay.
Well done for your first animation, but please stick to the topic.
It is a pity your man's head is going through the wall in the end.

I know the marks look bad from where you are sitting but If you ignore the fact
that this is a competition for a moment...you've done well for a first attempt.
 All of us at one time or another had to make our first animation.  I have
offered some constructive remarks.

About the only connection to the theme I can find would be the boy's "decay"
into lunacy.  I did not give you these marks to be cruel and make the following
suggestions.

Technical Merit.  The camera should have been centered on the boy.  By placing
it over his right shoulder you could have established the entire scene in the
eye of the viewer.  As it stands...the viewer's attention is focused on waiting
for the boy to fully walk on camera and the viewer misses the good work you did
on the house.

Interpretation and Concept.  Perhaps having the boy throw his shoulders back,
hold his head up, climb to the window and jump, only to land on his face would
have better demonstrated his "state of decay".

Artistic:  Good use of color and placement of most of the objects.  Your scale
is good too.  You might try using some image maps to add a more realistic
feeling.
