WIP Clannad Movie - Rough Draft

[SaitoHajime101]

Alright well let me catch people up to speed with my dilemma. I started this AMV with the concept of Okazaki (male protagonist) and his journey after losing his loved one (Furukawa, female protagonist). Going deeper into it, Okazaki dreams about himself as the clown looking for the place of happiness or he thinks back on the memories of him with Furukawa. It's suppose to have a dark tone to it up until the end (depressing amv, kinda no surprise). Now my problem is I don't want to continue on with this AMV until I make sure the scenes I have are right and I have no more doubts. I really hate getting to the end of an AMV only to find out half my scenes don't work anymore because I've strayed from the original concept.

There are several scenes in here that I have some doubt on, including the scenes when the bouquet of flowers fall then Okazaki runs up to Furukawa and hugs her.

I need some honest feedback, pretty much yays or nays on which scenes follow the original concept.

P.S. Keep in mind this amv is about a little over halfway done, has little to no transitions, and no scene overlays yet. Its a rough draft for now. Also I need help figuring out where the scene stuttering is coming from. At first I thought it was the wrong frame rate (Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, it was encoding it in 29.97 FPS, when I wanted 23 FPS instead for normal anime frames). Any ideas?
