For the past few weeks, i've been spending my time at animation stage, as well as make the details for all the elements in most of the scenes. I got some quality problem yesterday, and its really bad to present the work to the class with very awful quality. but now I just fixed it, what i did was export all the scenes from flash as PNG sequence and bring it straight to final cut. and I got pretty good quality now. but at the moment, I need some comments about the background sound (does it fit with this kind of informative animation, what sort of music i should use..?), I know I have to edit the 'kid n dad convo' in audition later on.. how about the graphic?anything I should add or change or sumthing?

Dwi I'm glad you sorted out the method of export, well done.
I agree the conversation (and audio in general) needs attention. Some of the words used are not always grammatically correct, and some of the sequences, such as "and mr gas starts punching mr sun" seem out of context to me.
Generally the animation you have done is quite good. BUT, the level of animation is so very little that it hardly can be called an animation. If I were you I would commit more effort in this area. for example when riding the bike the boys feet should move. Currently this appears to me to be a rather lazy job, and I would rather it be considered the foundation to build upon.
One other thing regarding the script. I like the way when the tree is planted the voice over says HOW planting it helps with global warming. You should use the same approach with the other sequences, ie. how does riding one's bike help global warming? how does turning off the TV help? explain it to the audience, as they are children. One additional scene I have a problem with is the final scene, the feet and body of the boy is confusing without the head in shot. Don't you think?
I believe in order to make this work pass, you will need to make these and MORE improvements.
Some simple comments:
* Try cutting to the person speaking before they start, not just after, as it is kind of disconcerting. Maybe even try cutting a little long after they've spoken. Currently a little strange.
* Try making the people at the start not walking at exactly the same time
* The sound effects are too harsh and loud, especially the sun
* Some of the movements are too slow, ie the hand moving to the remote, and are unreal
