Hi Mr. Barry Purves,
I know your a busy man, but if it's not too much too ask, i would be delighted to have your feedback on my piece.

I'm a big big fan your performances through your puppets. I read your book, the one published by Focal Press, it is by far, the Most insightful "go to" book about Stop Frame Animation. I'm from The Philippines, and sadly, Stop Frame Animation here have been associated with cricket sounds. And I do not get that. There are no boot camps here for animation so I learned a lot from your book and by watching your films, And forgive me for being bold, but I like to change the animation status here in the Philippines, just maybe give it a little nudge, and wave hello maybe. So I've been studying on my own, creating crude stuff at first then moving on to more advanced puppet creation and basic animation exercises. So anyway, A friend from mine bought a surf shop on a local beach spot, and I took the opportunity to make my friend a small ad for her store. So here it is, its still rough around the edges editing wise but, a feedback from an animation titan like yourself, it would mean the world to me. You are a beacon of inspiration to us all.
