Justin Weg:

Entrance is too fast. I think it's overal too snappy for this type of piece.

C. J. Cow:

i like it. very snappy.

Micah Betts:

Seems to be too much mouth movement. Transitions to poses is really fast

Mike Clark:

nice. I like the simple poses. fun snappy feel too.

David Ruzicka:

Very cartoony but it fits right with the character.

Eric Huang:

nice poses and expressions, I think you just need to make the transitions smoother.

Pedro Lopes:

i like the style that you are going for

Mark Dickie:

Nice work! Lots of emotion there for such a simple rig. You made some very nice choices. Solid poses.

Tom Law:

The snappy movements are just great, well done.

Cole Higgins:

not sure why hes moving the way he does. im not conviced that he is felling something.

Tyler Phillips:

Wow, really quick and bouncy. Bothers me a little, but hey, that's just me.

Yahya:

body motion was good, but the mouth moved too much and didnt look like it was syncing properly.

Michael Li:

I really love the whacky feel of the animation, just the lip sync needs some work, but that's about it.

Aaron Clement:

Cool, I like the last expression... felt a little late, though. I like the snappy feel to it... maybe more cushion with the snappiness, though... felt late at the beginning... needed to arrive earlier.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

Nice style of animation. The character doesn't fit the clip too well.

David Humphreys:

why does the charcter enter from offscreen?

i think you could use the knocking bounding sound in a better way as at the minute it throws you of a little, its a good entrance mind and a nice sensation of squash and stretch in your follow through. work on your staging a bit more and itll all pop together.

garvey harris:

that expression in the face at the end was excellent just a shame the rest of the performance preceeding that was not as strong -

when I used to go to acting classes a suggestion I made that made a lot of sense was that if you were on a bus or a in car and passing by and saw the character acting out the part, without hearing what was being said, how much of the expression and body language tells you what is going on?

I think the key here is resisting, and accusing the other character that they also had a moment of weakness, so far I'm not seeing that being expressed enough

Ezra Allen:

Like the finishing pose. Interesting snappy style. On "I can give in to this" watch those wrists thats a bit of an unatural pose there, you need to move the hands up or bring the elbows down.

Chris Sutherland:

love the facial expressions, but a bit snappy from pose to pose

Ramit Batra:

i like the snappy-ish style. you could have done a lot more with the Left hand.

Jarred de Beer:

This one is quite nice! I like the magnitude of the mouth movement, but the lip sync could be better. Nice use of the eyebrows!

Simon Bean:

Wow, that's zippy! Generally the animation here shows flair, but not sure if this cartoony style is really working for this clip? Think you've picked a hard rig as well with the Moom character. He doesn'ty relate emotion as well as some of the others. Flies into the last pose too quickly- doesn't look natural. Like the 'sniff' and the "...but...". Hope this helps :) Good work

Mike Courtney:

There are a few good poses in there. The animation is jerky overall.

Victor Wong:

Volume of the head needs some work. Lip sync and eye expressions are good.

Felix:

nice attempt of a cartoony animation, but later it gets a bit unsteady and not so suitable for the expression of the caracter. need a bit more variation... you stick too much in one pose

Matt Morris:

Slow that lipsynch down! think muppet jaw, don't try to hit every syllable

Erik Griott:

very nice, the timing is fun and interesting. i like how she goes from one emotion to an extremely different one, but the last pose doesnt feel like the same character to me. i think it might be a little too angry. maybe if the last pose was toned down an inch it would feel a lot more natural. otherwise great work!

Taber Dunipace:

Hmm, a neat self conscious zippy animation style, and you used it well. I'm not sure this is really the situation for a style like this, but it's still done well. The animation is still popping a lot on places and needs some anticipations and stretch to smooth it out.

thekamps:

odd in a good way to see it done with this character.
love the exaggeration and facial expression

Virgil Mihailescu:

hihi, funny. this momo just can't be serious, can.... she... he... it....?

Sean Graham:

Wow, now that's snappy. Watch your arcs.

Michael Richard:

Snappy, I like it! I feel the anger emotion comes in a bit too late...

Alexis St-Laurent:

Nice, animation a bit choppy though

Gregory Marlow:

wow. Looks like it is playing in high speed. work on timeing

Jason Pennington:

The animation principles are well applied, but the movement seems way too zippy for the emotions of the character.

Max Herzfeld:

I like the shrug gesture, but mostly the animation was too fast and jumpy.

work on timing for next time.

Keep it up,
Max

Henning Koczy:

The snappiness would almost be okay, but the entrance and first pose within 5 frames is too much. Distracted me.

Robert Tighe:

Nice timing.

Bilal Ahmad:

nice effort!
