Patricia Ross:

This is very stylized and snappy and has a lot of great energy, but I think you could ease up on the movement in some places. Mostly the paintbrush gestures I think, maybe just add a few static areas against the active ones.

Emmanuel Vergne:

You may need to smooth your curves, but it works pretty good.
In the end the 2 characters are moving at the same time, so it's a little bit confusing. I would hold the red character in the pose he has in frame 210 and had "texture" to that hold -> he's more concerned about the guy who fell down

Ryan Lowe:

I like the stop and go feel. Neat!

Mike Courtney:

there are pops in the animation

Ken Rice:

Pretty good animation - feels a bit manic - no real evidence of limbs going to sleep - last fall has no matching sound.

Jayesh J.Yatgiri:

Very funny !!
Very orignal Idea ! but i think its still in blocking mode ?? !!
Good Work !!

Cole Higgins:

awesome poses. Now just flesh them out. Right now it seems a little jerky.

Virgil Tanasa:

feels a little too snappy, in my oppinion, like some of the keys are still in blocking mode...
other than that, nice, funny.

Emmanuel:

Feels like a blocking animation at the beginning.

Pete Shand:

I saw this in the wip forum, looks like you didn't quite finish splining the beginning. Looks really great though, nice animation! Love when he's trying to stretch out of the bucket.

Senthilnathan D:

nice..

Sean Hannon:

The snappy pose to pose works with him in the pail, but the early part looks merely stepped and incomplete.

Chris Sullivan:

This would rock if you just cleaned up your curves a little more. There's too many hard stops in the beginning.

Sergey B.:

That was my first idea about competition. :( tI cant finish it because i dont had time. Congrats.

Joe Jacob:

I really like the fast movements when he says "No I don't need your help" from trying to pull himself out to talking to the other character. Really well done.

Jr Prez:

your left arm needs more inbetweens at the first 100 frames

Marco Palmieri:

Not a bad effort! need to work on your overlap and facial expressions. Play more with the eyes. Keep it up! :)

Angelo Sta. Catalina:

this is a good one

BigZ:

Good effort. But somehow i feel that you are able to do much better than this.

Nate Lane:

awesome man! I think that you could have the poses move around a little more, because right now they seem to be in stepped tangent mode (i know they aren't tho), but a little more overshooting of poses would be excellent. e.g. he extends him arm out and it goes further than he wants, and then it slowly comes back in. Anyways I really like this shot! keep it up!

Dominic Marcotte:

Really good! I love when he try to get up! :D

Good job

Dominic

Omri Navot:

Nice work. I like the snappy style. Be careful about the pupils getting a little floaty in parts.

Emilio Aguirre:

Like the secondary action of the paint brush

Shannon:

I hope you go back and finish this up! You've got some great poses, but let us appreciate them before you snap to the next one.

Nicolas Fourcroy:

Some parts are too fast !! i can't assimilate what happens

Aparna Varma:

great work!
i like the "no thank u,i don need ur help" bit the best!!

Niek Neervens:

hahah nice idea!! maybe a little less jerky too make it a bit smoother! but really cool nonetheless!!

Mark DAth:

Cool idea. Nicely done as well. Thing I found a bit off was gestures at the start seemed jerky, he hit a gesture with his arm fast and hard. But I loved the bucket bit, that worked nicely.

Christopher Pelloux:

Great animation!! Secondary motion of the brush is exelent.

Kevin Adams:

haha great stuff :) really good take on the clip

JAEHYUN PARK:

Fun...Fun...Fun...!!! This is cool!
Nice Lip Sync...Just need little bit of fluid body action I think. nice job!!!

Ben Crouse:

has kind of a stop-motion feel to it

Roy Salamida:

put on some pant, his butt be in da paint, dahaha! but i diggit.. the animation is right on bro :-)

Amdbcg:
