Renaud Déchaux:

Great animation!

yeshwanth:

Its very satile i like her idea of sitting in the table good luck

C. J. Cow:

nice work.

David Atkins:

good a bit floaty

Mike Clark:

you made some choices in terms of which phrases to emphasize. Good job on her hair. Some of the actions were a little spliney.

Chris Welsby:

great work

David Ruzicka:

I think you spoiled it at the end. They don't move for like 50 frames. She is great. The best is when she says "and I don't know..."

Eric Huang:

Nice body motion! I think the facial expressions could be pushed more though... good work man :)

Pedro Lopes:

NICE.

Tom Law:

lol I love the animation of the guy's burp.

Kristoffer Clark:

The animation on the shrug is great! The reveal at the end is cool

Israel Woolfolk:

I liked the secondary action of the cake crumbs. Nice Job.

Cole Higgins:

looks great but the girls amotions are a little stale. theres deffinetley life in her eyes but i feel like her emotions are not quite clear. She looks like shes talking normaly but the dialogue is pretty intense

Dhar:

Very good acting. Great secondary motions. Not sure about the birthday party context.

Tyler Phillips:

Nice follow through with the hair. Nice animation and mechanics.

Aaron Clement:

Cool. Not too bad. Good acting for the most part. Felt naturalistic. A bit floaty with the lip sync, though.

P Walters:

It's good to see a different model. Movement is very nice. Feels like the eyes could be pushed a bit further and refined. The animation is well done though.

Ozgur Yildirim:

I like this one a lot, too. It feels really cartoonish.

But lip synching needs a little bit more polish.

Roger Feron:

Pretty good! The anticipation for when she sits back up seems a bit too much. Also the guy at the end should keep moving a little while that banner falls down, instead he freezes.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

Nice job, the lipsync could use some work and the last bit is excessive in my opinion. The crumbs movements is great but it's out of place, she's in pain on that moment of the clip.

David Humphreys:

That last pose dosent seem right to me, the leaning over with no means of suppourt around frame 208 looks like she could tip over.

It also looks like the dude has eaten all the cake and thats why shes upset. forgive me if im wrong if its more of a comedy thing but your "new" shot takes away some of the emotion that youd built in your first shot.

garvey harris:

i was with you till , the camera switched from her to him, then I coldn't see what she was resisting

Ezra Allen:

yeah not bad

Oren Bentov:

Very nice :) nice acting, i would only consider trying to insert more eyebrows expressions, and also keeping her shoulders up until "i bet you there was one" to keep the tention in her body.

Chris Sutherland:

good use of the table, crumbs, and changing her vertical plane (forward-back); good use of facial expressions

miles southan:

Not bad but the lip synch and fingers need some attention.

Shahbaaz Shah:

Great effort. I think lip sync and facial poses could be clearer and finger poses could be more interesting.

Mike Courtney:

Good overall, the spines of both characters seem a bit stiff.

Simon Bean:

Lovely. Dunno if it's down to the rig, but I'd like to see much more expression in the eyes

Renzo Biffa E.:

it needs more lip-sync job.

Felix:

cool, nice character, nice facial expression, could need more expression in the hands. some poses i found were not so suitable. the animation could do a bit more dynamic motion, repulsion, follow trough etc. but great work at all :)

Mark Dickie:

Top effort! This piece is very appealing.

Phillip Moon:

Body work great, and mostly facial work too, but the eyebrows take away from the overall effect.

Virgil Mihailescu:

wow, great stuff!! if only her lipsync would be more accurate - not timing-wise, but shape-wise.

Alexis St-Laurent:

Nice, really. I would have cut the end though

Michael Richard:

Even though I chuckled every time the camera cut to the guy and the banner falling down, I feel that cut could have been left out, so that we start and stop on her. She looks really good. Good acting on her, and I love her head shake around 160. There are lots of subtle things that can be fixed up, but overall, I think it's an awesome piece.

Gregory Marlow:

very good

Taber Dunipace:

The animation quality is pretty good here, lots of good motions and the crub part is really great, but you still need to push the poses farther and try to observe the animation principals; particularly anticipation, which I can see are present, but still don't smooth the fast actions enough. The acting is kind of bland here even though it's well done. I think in this scenario, we should see more anger or sadness on her face and in her body language. As it is, she just seems very casual.

Jeranimo:

I like her hair. I like the way they move.
There is no need to show the guy. He looks like a retard and it don't think he's helping you to sell this shot. Good job.

Matt Johnson:

Looking good - I would push the facial animation and lip sync more.

Victor Wong:

Character-wise, there's good timing on the gestures and lip sync. The weight of the arms on the table may need a little timing. In terms of the background, the banner needs more SI/SO, but that's a minor nitpick.

Max Herzfeld:

Funny.
Really great story twist. Lot's of nice touches too. Great hair, banner, cake, and plates.

The crumb sweep with the hand is pretty cool.

I would try more expressions in the eyes next time.

I loved the character you made from the guy, he looks like such a smug jerk, and the burp was really well done.

Keep it up,
Max

Robert Tighe:

Nice work. Decent timing. For me, seeing the dude at the end doesn't help the scene.

San Gregorio Rafael:

Really good. Congratulations for you piece of animation.

I really like the poses.

Bilal Ahmad:

nice effort!
