Welcome to the boards and animations, it only gets better as you learn. Once you start to get the hang of it your mind will be flooded with ideas!

Enjoy!

Nice one! It looks like you've got a great story and the different camera angles make it feel dynamic. But one quick adjustment would bring everything together and that is to change the camera settings in each shot. Right now most of the action is in the bottom half of the screen. If you raised it higher, It would look more like a tv show/movie. A rule of thumb is to have the character's eyes about 2/3 of the way up the screen. And a rule of thumb for the horizontal framing of a shot is to put 1/3 of the screen behind the character and 2/3 in front of the character. Good job! :D
