Mike Courtney:

about frame 69, the eyebrows seem to be jumping down the forehead.

Cole Higgins:

cool idea. In general push your poses more. Right now the acting is a little tame. Especially in his face. its hard to see any real emotions coming out.

Virgil Tanasa:

the poses are not very strong, the movement is kind of floaty between them. end pose of the purple guy for example is very weak, there's no nice silhouette showing...

Senthilnathan D:

good work....

Erik Westlund:

The gag with the 'business' card and mug shot made me laugh. Dark door frame is competing for attention, distracting, creates tangent in bottom of frame. Weight an movement of door are working. Secondary character is a little lacking in emotional acting but his change in focus while following off screen character sells the humor in the end.

Marco Palmieri:

idea at the start is good to set up the scene but it's really lacking expression in the faces. keep it up.

Angelo Sta. Catalina:

the body looks weird..

Chris Peters:

Nice situational choice. "Occasionally" pose feels to bent over. Lip sync needs to be exaggerated. cam shake feels a bit early? the loony tunes hat doesn't feel like a fit here. Good work! I like it. Nce emotive eyes at beginning,couldve gone a little longer.

Lisa Allen:

nice animation! main thing i noticed were finger poses... clown guy just has his fingers out all the time... and purple guy has his thumb sticking out the whole time.

Shannon:

Pretty solid, but there's some eyebrow pops at the very head of the shot, and the clown's left hand is a little overactive through the early part of the dialogue.

Stu Lloyd:

I would simplify the waving hand gesture, very smooth animation though! Nice!

Christopher Pelloux:

not bad, good storyboard :D

Peter Satera:

Its nice, but Im not entirely sold that the line belongs to the scene. The sound delivers more than the character is showing, a little more exaggeration would be nice to see. It would be good for a more realistic sound clip, we need - more funny. Also if his head popped up at the end of the line, "no i can get up.." to show maybe he's a bit embarrassed at the fall.
