Carlos Fins:
Nice work :)
Chris Welsby:
some nice poses in there, would maybe start to think about adding anticipations and reactions to some of your movementsand will really help the flow of the performance
David Atkins:
floaty. stronger holds would make it snap more
David Ruzicka:
Good lips but rest is very robotic.
Mike Clark:
arms are a little floaty...try to hug those poses more. good work.
David Humphreys:
Good acting choice and nice poses
your sync is out a bit and you have a lot of stiffness in your movements, try getting more follow through in your movements.
And frames 21 to 24 is too quick a move for the lack of overlap you have, and you also need to get some animation in the fingers.
Tyler Phillips:
It looks like her fingers are in the same position when she hits the table. I like "there's always a moment" move but there is something that bothers me about the middle. The end is cute, but a little stiff.
Tom Law:
She bangs her hands against the table on frame 23 far too fast, I feel it needs more anticipation.
Cole Higgins:
close but i feel like your animating to much to the dialogue. Shes moving but only because the dialogue has changes. Dont let what shes is actually saying bog you down. Delve into her thoughts and feelings and animate to those things. From the inside out.
Michael Li:
I think she looks too mechanical overall. Though I can see what you want to do and looks great, if you could just added more little movements.
Aaron Clement:
The best part was the head shake. Felt very mechanical and linear. Don't have things floating all over the place. Add ease in and out. One good way to prevent floatiness is to have your breakdown (middle pose or keyframe) favour one of the extremes. End note, good silhouette. And your's is the last animation in the voting poll, so I'll be generous and give you an extra star... Good job everyone... and good turn out with over 70 entries!
P Walters:
motion is a bit choppy
Yeray Díaz Díaz:
Nice start, good poses. You need to work on the transition between poses and a lot on the lipsync.
garvey harris:
nice, felt that there was a strong performance in this one, I liked it a lot and felt that if there was no sound I might get an idea if what was going on
Ezra Allen:
Its looking very floaty, you need to work on the weight here, interesting stuff with the weighing things up pose, if you could get the weight in there the acting poses look like they would work.
Mike Courtney:
Pop in the beginning putting hands onto the table. Hands moving a bit too linearly.
Simon Bean:
Some good stuff, needs more polish :)
Felix:
okay, the voiceover quite nice, but the rest really poor. no acting, no smooth and dynamic animation.
Phillip Moon:
Facial work was nice, though the last expression was snapped into. The body acting needs more work, as it tends to freeze.
Taber Dunipace:
The animation quality and the acting needs to be polished quite a bit here. Remember to observe the principals of animation.
Bilal Ahmad:
nice effort!
Gregory Marlow:
work on timing with the arms. Looked jerky in spots and floaty in others.
Michael Richard:
a good friend once told me... massage those curves! =)
breaking the balance:
too much pinning,, keep the movement going and overlap actions..
Victor Wong:
Lip sync works, gestures need a touch more SI/SO. Excellent facial expression throughout.
Robert Tighe:
Nice posing on "Always a moment"
