Jason Pennington:

yes! very nice entry. It could end with a more emotive pose, though. Like, especially a strong gesture on "bet". Something that highlights the bitterness of that line.

Micah Betts:

Everything looks good, but things start to get stiff at the anger transition around 140

Taylor Potts:

I like the hands on the face for the sniff.

Max Herzfeld:

Her body is too low the whole time, that possition would be hard for a real person to keep that long. It's limiting the performance.

The last two poses were givin less attention then the rest. (Maybe from lack of time?)

The lip sync in the very begining is too wide
there's "ah moe-ment"
-"r~round tones r~round tones" ("Singing in the Rain")

She possitions herself for the *sniff* to soon.
It would be more powerful if there was a greater change in pose.

Good start though.

Keep it up,
Max

David Ruzicka:

You hide most of the talking. 145-180 lips don't match.

Roger Feron:

Some movements need to be smoother. A few more subtle guestures to emphasise certain words would have helped sell it.

Tyler Phillips:

Nice attention to the fingers.

Cole Higgins:

not sure what the character is thinking. Pick some emotions that you feel she is feeling and sell them with clear cut poses. Right now I am not really feeling that this character is having emotions.

Aaron Clement:

Good... just watch the static body posture.

Michael Li:

I really love the way the hand gestures flow into each other. great stuff.

Jamal D. Owens:

It's ok, but......the ending pose kinda killed it.

David Humphreys:

good work, a little floaty around your contacts, and there is some twinning going on here but you have definite direction from your character and some good acting choices in there!

Ezra Allen:

nice subtle stuff going on with the hands on the face. The lipcynch seems good, I just think it needed something big too contrast with all the tight focused subtle animation.

Mike Pinkin:

Mouth blend shapes are a bit behind from the audio clip, but I really like the cradling of the head and the abrupt movement at the sniffle at frame 125. Nice work!

garvey harris:

nicely balanced and very subtle, even the wiping of the eyes was better timed than any attempt i have seen so far

Jarred de Beer:

The eyes could use a bit more expression. It might have been better if she'd not hid her face behind her hands the way she did, the whipe of the nose when she sniff's doesn't read too well.

Simon Bean:

Good, but not quite expressive enough for me. Doesn't seem to really be addressing anyone. Like the sniff, but not convinced on the expression afterwards. Hope this helps :)

Mike Courtney:

The left shoulder comes up too fast at "can do this". Spine also pops during the animation.

Victor Wong:

Weight of the arms is acceptable. Lip sync works and good emotional acting with the facial features.

Taber Dunipace:

Pretty nice acting choices and animation technique but I feel as if the character looses believability during the second half of the animation. "And I don't know..." is where I loose the character suddenly.

Sean Graham:

Good stuff! Love the fingers at the bridge of the nose. The transition between the last two poses is pretty linear and even, but other than that really strong!

Gregory Marlow:

not bad. Could use a few more passes though to refine.

Alexis St-Laurent:

Nice body language, but needs smoothing in some moves.

Paulo Clayton:

Lip sync and acting are both pretty good, but the hands around the face during "I can give in to this or I can resist it" covers the emotion on the face. Allow the face to be visible so the acting isn't covered up.

Alonso Soriano:

little akward position to be working from. It's great that you hit a golden pose and worked within it though. LIghting is hurting a little. You really have to work hard if to make up for it if you are going to be hiding the face a lot

Matt Johnson:

Good - push the emotion more.

Henning Koczy:

Nice acting choices, I like the poses she hits, htough she could hit them more solidly. Lipsync needs work (motormouthy).

Bilal Ahmad:

nice effort!
