Description: A young girl's undeniable passion for chocolate. I used the Andy Rig for this one. I love this rig. After I listen to the clip for a day in my spare time, it just started coming to me what I could animate.

yeshwanth:

The animation just moves from pose to pose and holds a lot ... looks like frozen at some place
cheers

David Atkins:

you rock

Chris Welsby:

feeling very pose to pose at the moment. some easing in and out of kep poses would help a lot

Tyler Phillips:

Nice poses, though I think the transitions between them seem a little rough. Also she should blink during her head turn and not when she stops. She might blink on all of these frames 58, 167, 211, 229, 274, 279, 340. Give or take a few frames. Also, the eyes should lead the head most of the time. But other than that it's great.

Hernán Bruna:

Uhmm funny

Mark Dickie:

I loved the extremes the character goes through here. Some cool over-acting!

Nathaniel Villanueva:

the movement is very stiff, did you do this in linear tangents? the pose after the sniff is kind of confusing. it'd work a lot better without it.

Kristoffer Clark:

The poses are good, but just a little pose to pose still. The gesture on the head was a bit much

Cole Higgins:

great stuff, made me laugh. Good job. Its a little silly though for me to rate it high.

Michael Li:

Just a bit too much movement I feel. But it's good to see another piece involving food in this round :)

Aaron Clement:

I was waiting for the cage to drop down on here for stealing the wallet. A little cliche with some of the poses. Entertaining all the same.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

She's in pain, not reciting Shakespeare. You need to work on the transition between poses.

David Humphreys:

After taking the bar it dosent look like she hesitates at all, you have some good clear reading and zippy poses here especially on frame 327. But its a little too showy with the best example being on frame 257.

garvey harris:

timing of body movements seem to be a bit of in terms of translating the speech and body movements together. but nice work

Ezra Allen:

Ha nice comedy angle extra brownie points for that. The synch is looking a bit ought though and I would try and get a bit more life into those holds there looking a bit stiff good effort

Dan Dulberger:

Pose-o-rama! People don't stike poses like that unless their name is Madonna. Try to rely less on poses or do more work inbetween them.

Simon Bean:

imaginitive treatment :D
Acting too hammy for me- this clip carries so much emotion, the acting has to be soft and subtle. Decent effort

Mike Courtney:

The walk to the candy bar is very linear. Work on your arcs.

Felix:

not bad, but i don't think chocklate fits to the persons mood. the animation is a bit too edgy. give it a bit more swing in to the poses and also more natural poses.

Taber Dunipace:

The Shakespearian school of overacting! Seriously though, these poses are unrealistic and WAY overly dramatic for the considerably light hearted setting. The animation is also too fast, lacking anticipations, arcs and follow-throughs.

Phillip Moon:

Nicely done, but I would have like to have seen that she was talking to someone in the room. No eye contact. Still sweet work.

Virgil Mihailescu:

again (someone did this already)... is this.... 'her moment'? the character talks in fact about a different person. this twist here doesn't make much sense.

Bilal Ahmad:

nice effort!

Gregory Marlow:

doesnt seem very sad. I like that you tried to interpret the clip differently, I just dont think it was as successful.

Micah Betts:

The timing of the poses seem unnatural...

Victor Wong:

Overall timing is good. The posing is a bit melodramatic, but otherwise it works well.
