Great job
If you're going to study cinematography, you don't have to worry about the artwork -- the way you cut the scenes together, and the mix of closeup shots and other scenes were very well done. Very impressive.
I do flash movies myself, and am a movie buff (and yeah, Donnie Darko is fantastic, great pick for a soundtrack btw), so I struggle a lot with trying to figure out how to put scenes together... And I have done quite a few years of landscape photography, and have drawn cartoons for years, so I have some background on it. And I've got about two dozens films here on Newgrounds, but your cinematography is still better...
Great stuff, very moody also.
