Just decided to register to give you my thoughts.
First off, I don't believe in God, Jesus. And really don't like religion in a whole. But, I do not discourage people from believing in it because they do encourage some good morals. And have created some fantastic people, which the message you tried to portray through in your work and shows the type of person you are.
-Animation-: The style you went with in terms of animation was pleasing, but obviously you can do more to spruce it up. Such as more movement instead of still images, especially with the swords. Such as being stabbed one by one with possibly the letter she wrote being stabbed mid flight? It's a thought process, but you did a fine job with the style of animation.
-Art-: Simple. And I personally like it. The first parts of the animation are simple to understand and fill the mind on who or what the figures could be. Was one prince drop dead gorgeous and have a horrible personality? Or the other have a face of a Narwhal? It let's the imagination go. But, when you transition into the anime style (It was hinted it was headed that way, or I saw it coming) it sort of got rid of that mystery. In a good way. It fleshes out the picture and the happy ending. In general though, your art does need improving. Just general touch ups than anything else.
-Voice Acting-: I will be honest and say you do need work. You sound as if your simply talking silently to yourself than portraying a message to a group. I recommend having something to talk to. Put a stuffed animal or a cup in front of you and talk to it. It might seem silly, but so is voice acting when you are simply yelling into a microphone all alone.
As for your Mic quality, it also needs some work and needs to be more clear. But it's forgivable since not everyone has a studio quality mic.
-Music-: The music isn't memorable, to a point where I actually sat here going "Was there any music in this animation?" So I went back to listen to it again.
You did pick the right music, and the volume didn't go over your voice or distract from the story. That's all I got I've no real knowledge on music being plugged into stuff.
-Story/Message-: I didn't get your core message, at all. Like a lot of people I thought this was a sweet romantic deal. Not once did Jesus Christ enter my mind. Due to that I highly recommend doing research or studying from other's on how to portray a message better. Either visually, by sound, or other.
The story though was interesting to witness, but I personally was confused on some things. Which probably even enhanced the experience. Such as "Why is she being rejected? Are the princes just snobby or was there something wrong with the girl?" My imagination filled that hole. Which is probably for the better. If you listen to some people complain about the clone wars being realized in StarWars, then you might get my meaning.
Overall: It was good, not a masterpiece obviously(Not everything is, don't fret). I highly enjoyed the experience and encourage you to do more. YOUR message was not portrayed correctly, which is fine and can be worked on. Animation and art needs work but the style was great.
I hope you continue to do more. <3
