C. J. Cow:

nice

Chris Welsby:

always cool to see some 2D. Good animation to!

David Ruzicka:

Nice work

Jonathan Gomez:

I have to give it up to the 2D guys!! you have my vote

Tom Law:

This is just excellent.

Kristoffer Clark:

nice work

Tyler Phillips:

Really nice job.

Cole Higgins:

good movemnet but im not feeling her emotions. think about her thoughts and feelings. then create her poses.

Aaron Clement:

Cool... one of the better ones. Good body language.

Jamal D. Owens:

Nice 2D. Lip Sync is great. Keep up the good work.

garvey harris:

the only 2D seen so far but it pulls it off and the character was alsive all the way through, had to watch her and even forgot the guy was there hahahah excellent

Ezra Allen:

did you do it 3d then draw over it? nice

Jeranimo:

Good work. Though there are way too many hand gestures. You really don't need all that to sell the idea. All the best!

Jarred de Beer:

Lovely expression! I love the flow of her emotion coming through her arm movement in 'a moment' between frames 40 and 50. Nice lip sync and expression in the eyes. I don't think the small camera movements are necessary, it seems to add a bit of fluidity to a scene which should be hard and tense. Lovely 2d!

Florent Perrin:

Cool one. (more unusefull comment in the world!)

miles southan:

Good job! There are too many poses in the middle section though.. it gets muddled. I've seen a couple people doing that nose wipe on the sniff and it just doesnt make sense to me. I think if anything, the nose wipe would follow the sniff.

Simon Bean:

Nice! I'd say the proportion in the guy's arm's off. She seems to address the camera more than the guy. The "always a..." where she turns and touches palm is over-complicating things and to be honest its not clear what she's trying to express. Hope that helps

Mike Courtney:

Some overlapping action on the cape when the hero takes a deep breath would be good. The hero is a bit static even for 2D. Check the arcs on the woman's arms.

Christiaan Moleman:

Some of the expressions on the girl are a bit on the wacky side (particularly at the start), maybe not entirely fitting the audio... but overall very nice.

Good gestures. Only the pointing at the palm feels a bit odd to me.

Max Herzfeld:

You did a great job on the girl, direct and dynamic gestures, and facials.

Smooth and punctuated,
nice job keep it up
Max

Eric Scheur:

Very nice!! I love the design and linework here! :) I'm super impressed. I think that you have a lot of great acting moments in here, and you still manage to keep everything clean and simple. Excellent!

There are only a few things that catch my eye.

One thing is the handheld-style camera... I think that distracts from the animation more than anything, and I'd recommend taking it out. I know that doesn't have to do with the animation itself, but it's the first thing that popped out to my eye, so I thought I'd mention it.

It feels a bit like you have body parts on different layers, and you've tried to offset some of the motions so you don't get twinning actions. For example, between 83 and 86, the arms settle at different times... They do a similar thing when they pull up to her chest from 107 to 114.

In theory, this is alright, but I think the fact that you have some of the body parts holding still working against you. A really strong example of this is frames 105 and 106. If you frame back and forth between those a few times, you see the body moving, but the arms holding their exact same place. This makes the motion feel really unnatural here. Especially with the arms held out in the air like that, they'll definitely react to the body moving at all, so they should both move along a little bit with the body there.

It feels like this is what's happening with those offset motions, too... one arm will arrive before the other, which is fine, except that the second arm will be holding absolutely still--as if the arms are both being animated on 2s, but on separate 2s. Finding a way to have everything move together will probably bring together more of a solid piece.

Finally, and this is a small thing--her eyeline on "but" from around 182 to 186 feels a little out of place. She should either be looking at him, or distinctly not looking at him--but for that brief moment, it feels like she's looking at us, and it takes her out of the scene a little.

Overall, though, I think this is a great piece and with a little more clean-up can bring it from being something really special to something that sparkles. :) Great job!

Felix:

cool animation i really like it, maybe a bit too hectic expressions sometimes needed more punctuation.

Mark Dickie:

Really nice quality 2D work. Great stuff!

Taber Dunipace:

Kudos for using 2D! I love to see people entering the contest this way. That said, you MUST learn to draw 3D volumes to make this visually believable. The acting choices are fair, but the constant changes of size and the features floating around are VERY distracting.

Erik Griott:

the camera moves are real distracting i think. as for the animation, the girls eyes keep getting closer or farther away from each other. kinda disturbing.

Phillip Moon:

Very well done.

Virgil Mihailescu:

perfect intensity, logical context... but it's a bit too cartoony, too much movement for this kind of stuff. even though it looks sort of ok in 2d. I like the contrast in their attitudes. so anyway, even though I think it's a little bit too much exaggerated, the acting is healthy, logical. :D makes sense. nice work!

David Shum:

good stuff,
tho I dont see why she needs to look at the camera so many times...

Gregory Marlow:

very good

Victor Wong:

Good timing and expression overall.

Henning Koczy:

One of the few where I actually could tell there was some consideration to the story. Nice, good acting.

Robert Tighe:

great work, I love your facial expressions. Good on you doing 2d.

Bilal Ahmad:

nice effort!

Sean Graham:

Ooh! Flash animation! Sweet! Nice work!
