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 that’s 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!
