C. J. Cow:

very very cool, but watch out for the twinning of arms

Taylor Potts:

The second half is much stronger than the over-acted grand gestures near the beginning. You begin to animate what the character is thinking rather than what she is saying. I especially like the shoulder shrug and the nodding of the head.

Tyler Phillips:

"I can give into this" pose doesn't seem to be the best choice but it's got great movement in between and I like the subtlety in the end.

Eric Huang:

Awesome :)

Very nice motion here, I just don't like the pose at around frame 93.

Mike Clark:

I like how you made an effort to caricature the acting. It looks like you offset your keys to put in some drag and overlap. Try to do this with poses instead. It looks a little rag doll like right now. I like how you went from open to closed poses, fits with the dialog.

David Ruzicka:

this is very good. My only thing was that she does tot much exaggerated poses.

Chris Welsby:

great work!!

Pedro Lopes:

NICE! i like the acting. but the lighting could have been different, its hard to see whats going on.

Jonathan Gomez:

Good snappy animation. I would tone it down a bit. Look out for twinning in your poses.

nideep:

gud one! really like the shrug at around frame 151.

Kristoffer Clark:

a lot of strong gestures competing against each other.

Micah Betts:

Really nice poses and transitions, but I think it probably could have used 1 less pose or less extreme variations

Cole Higgins:

good movement. Dont know what shes thinking though.

Aziz Kocanaogullari:

good job but a little more subtlety would be better. also tweaking on the face could give some more emotion which is lacking a bit at the end.

Aaron Clement:

Nice, I like it how you work within the folded arms pose.

P Walters:

some of the motion is a bit jerky but there's definitely some nice movements happening, I like the choices.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

Nicely done, I said it on the forums the animation looks really great! I think there are some poses that don't fit that well with the clip. Great job nontheless.

Jamal D. Owens:

Really good. Movements are smooth and the lip sync seems to be working good. Keep up the great work.

garvey harris:

not quite there but its not animating techicque thats at fault acting and interpretation - 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 - but you're good

Carmelo Leggiero:

a little bit less twinning, and try to create more organic movement, now look like pose to pose to pose! keep up the good work

Oren Bentov:

nice motion, but the poses seem too big for the sound track at the start, like shes acting on stage.
like the ending :)

Ezra Allen:

the animation is nice, but I dont think the poses fit that well with the audio. The animation is nice and snappy the arcs and the overlap are making this piece look very good, I just think if the poses had been a bit more subtle they would have fit more with the audio.

Dan Dulberger:

First portion is abit exaggerated for my taste but everything is animated very well.

miles southan:

One too many poses in the middle... great stuff though!

vinay:

nice contrast

Simon Bean:

Sexy lighting, but don't think it really helps the acting. The start's wonderfully lit, but by the expressive phrases through the end she's in darkness :(
Lovely smooth animation style, but for this particular clip, the poses could have been a little subtler for me

Mike Courtney:

a contrasting color for the background so people can see the animation better would be good; add more overlapping action on the fingers from going up and down

Daniel Pinheiro Lima:

The scene are too dark, the lignting could help the staging a little bit more.

Renzo Biffa E.:

the lip-sync was awesome, the body and face expresions were very good.

Felix:

cool animation, really cartoonie :)

Kellie:

Outstanding! The gestures are wonderful and there's great anticipation too which really pulls it all together and makes it 'real'. Really nicely done!

Erik Griott:

i like this piece a lot. the subtle movements are great, the poses work extremely well, and the timing is very fun. the only thing im not particularly fond of is the twinning of the arms. i know there are two schools of though on twinning, but i just feel like they need a bit more offset, something to make them more interesting.

Taber Dunipace:

Very nice animation but the acting is all over the place. The gestures need to be reduced in some places, such as "give into this."

Jim Christopher:

"i can do this"... nice job. my favorite part of the animation. nice pose and good transition into it. overall though, it needs some more polish. i've been seeing a lot of 2 and 3-star stuff so far, so 5 is pretty good in my book. keept it up.

thekamps:

twinning

Sean Graham:

A little cliche in the posing, but overall, this is good stuff!

Alexis St-Laurent:

The only problem is the pointing at the "this". I think it was too much.

Gregory Marlow:

nice

Victor Wong:

Excellent timing in the movements and lip sync overall.

Robert Tighe:

WOOOT! Nice snappy timing. Solid poses. That's what I'm talkin about!

Bilal Ahmad:

nice effort!

Christiaan Moleman:

A little too pose to pose, but you've got some nice ideas in there. The double point with the fingers down might be a bit much, especially with the change to the hands up pose after.

I think you should resist the urge to put a different pose on every sentence. Only present a new pose (a new idea) when the thought changes...Maybe get rid of that pointing down pose and hold the pleading pose longer, or cut somewhere else... Too many ideas crammed into one thing in any case.
