Renaud Déchaux:
I think the animation is good, poses are fine, but the lypsync need work. Good animation!
Chris Welsby:
i think there are maybe too many key poses. the dialogue is quite reflective and i think having lots of poses makes the performance lose that quality
Eric Huang:
I like the accent where he flicks his antenna up :)
Tom Law:
The animation is well done when he flicks his antenna back up at around frames 220-240.
Nathaniel Villanueva:
the acting is not natural. trying acting it before hand. it seems you like trying to get a lot across with such little time. and the part when the antenna is in the eyes is way distracting.
Cole Higgins:
cute nove movement and little subtlies. Though im not really feeling the character emotions.
Tyler Phillips:
I like the concept and the little antenna thing she knocks back into position. The animation looks a little drifty at times, but still nice.
Aaron Clement:
I like the last expression the best. A bit poppy with the lip sync. Watch the floatiness. I like the setting.
Yeray Díaz Díaz:
Cute character, but it doesn't go with the clip. The animation need work also.
garvey harris:
oooh, there was a bit of acting that was slightly out of time but the flick of the doodle on the head was a nice recovery, awsome work
Ezra Allen:
youve got a fair bit of foot slide going on there. I LOVE the model makes a welcome break from Andy. The flick of the antennie is nice touch at the end.
Bilal Ahmad:
good effort overall.
Simon Bean:
Some nice stuff in here
Mike Courtney:
Lip-sync is jerky / pops a lot. Hands a fingers pop a bit too.
Renzo Biffa E.:
you need to improve more lip-sync to your animation and some body movements, but you have an idea about how to make it live, and thats very important.
Andrew Stovesand:
Love the alien, cool flick of the antenna thing
Felix:
too static animation, but posing and expressions okay
Phillip Moon:
Cute and funny.
Taber Dunipace:
Good originality here, but the animation and acting choices need a lot of polish. Try less poses and more realistic movement. Push the poses, but don't choose inherently melodramatic poses right from the start.
Christiaan Moleman:
I think some of your acting choices are a bit too theatrical, like the stumbling back on "give in to this". Flicking the appendage away from the eyes is a nice secondary action but be careful that it doesn't distract from the tone of the scene and the intention of the dialogue...
Body mechanics-wise some of your bounces feel a bit too jerky and straight up and down and the step with the right foot towards the end a bit too snappy.
Alexis St-Laurent:
Nice, but a good way to do lip-sync is to check ourselves in the mirror. It would help in this case.
Gregory Marlow:
alright
Victor Wong:
Good timing on the gestures in general. Excellent use of the antennae to add character.
Matt Garward:
Feels a bit over-acted and pantomimey... gets a bit silly for the seriousness of the delivery (crosseyed through "I don't know when..."). The mouth needs some "oo" shapes. Good effort!
