so funny, is the boy eating something when talking?

Way too many cuts. This should be more about animation of the character, not the camera. With only 11-15 seconds of animation, you might want to limit the amount of cuts you make to only one or two... it's way too much for the eye to handle and it isn't necessary. Your camera moves are more prominent than your animation. Focus on you character animation.

Hello there. My recommendation for you would be to practice your posing skills. Focus on contrapposto and line of action. Also check out Ed Hook's "Acting for Animators" if you haven't already.
Keep up the good work. Cheers!

Your camera movement is way too quick. It makes it very difficult to see the animation. You never want to hide something you've put a lot of time and heart into. You should show it off. It's okay to have quick action but the camera movements make it very hard to read.

Your lip sync could use some better articulation.
