Some Terminology:



COLOR: general term for the qualities of hue, intensity, and value observed in pigment or light.
HUE: the name of a color, such as red, blue, green....

range of color
CHROMA: intensity, strength, or saturation of color, distinguishing the chromatic colors from black and white.
SATURATION: degree of vividness of a hue from its concentration; used synonymously with chroma.
More Saturation---------Less Saturation 
saturation
VALUE: range from light to dark, including white, grays, and black; colors can be evaluated on this scale. Values are often numbered on scales of 0 to 10. In one system 0 - black and 10 - white; another system reverses the designations and has 0 for white and 10 for black. Generally, high values are considered to be light, and low values dark.
value
COLOR WHEEL: divided or sectioned circle with colors in a spectrum effect.
COLOR TRIAD: three colors spaced an equal distance apart on the color wheel, such as red, yellow & blue or orange, green & purple.
COMPLEMENTARY COLORS: colors directly opposite each other on the color wheel such as blue & orange, red & green, yellow & purple.
SPLIT COMPLEMENT COLORS: use of the colors on each side of a complementary color.
PRIMARY COLORS: (artists) red, yellow, blue (printing inks) magenta, cyan, yellow
SECONDARY COLORS: orange, green and purple, made from mixing the primaries: red and yellow make orange, blue and yellow make green, and red and blue make purple.
TETRADS: color harmonies based on four colors; using every fourth color; the tetrads on the Prang color wheel; yellow-orange, red, blue-purple, and green; orange, red-purple, blue, and yellow-green; red-orange, purple, blue-green, and yellow.
TERTIARY COLORS: in contemporary usage, the intermediate colors are considered tertiaries: yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green, and yellow-green; in early color theory, the mixture of the secondary colors created a tertiary, as green mixed with orange, orange mixed with purple, and purple mixed with green

This movie is very good. I like the animation to it. You need to cut down the time though. Your movie is over 4 minutes long and it needs to be 1:20 at most. Other than cutting down the time it is very good.
