— it is too long
— the camera is constantly flowing around… it never stops
— the camera flies around in the sky, up, down, turning (luckily it is not too fast)
— there is no narrative: sun goes on and off at random, camera moves are attached together without meaning, somewhere after a few minutes, suddenly you enter the church through the main gate (which is probably one of the best moves in the animation), but you hardly look around.

Why do I say this? Because I’ve have had several lengthy discussions on different forums on what represents good architectural animation. This animation still displays most of the common shortcomings. It’s a pity, since the student clearly masters his tools. Would be interesting to collaborate with a film student, to give some direction.
