Chris Welsby:

you have some nice poses in there, but i think a few to many. I would look at having fewer key poses and concentrating on making them really strong. I think an audio pice like this is perfect for some moving holds in some strong poses. good job though

Carlos Fins:

Swimmy.. stick to some of those poses a little more. Good effort!

David Ruzicka:

I had the same idea like you but chose to do something else instead. Very good.

bruno hamzagic:

cool acting :-)

Tyler Phillips:

Parts of the animation seem to drift and makes it look like she's underwater, but nice acting choices. I really like the beginning.

Cole Higgins:

its good but she doesnt really capture my sttention enough. the whole animation is a liitle even with no climax or ups and downs within the acting. A good animation needs contrast in timming and poses.

Michael Li:

Her brows changed a bit quickly from the beginning around frame 17, but otherwise I really enjoyed that. The phone is a great prop.

Aaron Clement:

Not too bad. You still need to work on your acting, though. Really communicate her thoughts... at the moment this has only one beat... I don't really get an impression of what shes really thinking... really show her emotions...

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

There's some good poses, but the animations gets floaty most of the time.

David Humphreys:

Good work but its a shame you made no attempt to use that knocking sound or even recognise it. good arcs on your arm movements though.

garvey harris:

works for me

Ricardo Vicens:

The performance choice was good, just some mechanic issues. I would watch arcs on the arms and start to incorporate shoulders more. I like the look to the phone when she says "I bet you there was one".

C. J. Cow:

great! the head shake felt a bit much

Ezra Allen:

nice

Simon Bean:

Gorgeous! Love the subtle acting dude. Stand out effort

Florent Perrin:

Perhaps try to eliminate this floaty sensation.

Mike Courtney:

From 198 to 245 the right hand is a bit floaty. It looks like the phone intersects her head at some points.

P Walters:

Nice choice with the phone. That works well. It feels like she's moving too much in that there's not enough contrast between the dynamic motion and where she might stop nearly motionless for a split second. On the first "there's a moment" her hand doesn't feel quite right. But overall really nice. The hand to the chest and talking on the phone works well.

Max Herzfeld:

I like alot of your poses, especially the beginning and ending ones, but there's so much going on with her torso that it looks like she's not being controled by her legs. She also floats around a bit in the middle. Try starting from the legs, this will give direction to your upper body.

You also have some good facials.

Good work,
Max

Phillip Moon:

Nice work.

Taber Dunipace:

I like the acting in this one with just a couple exceptions; namely the sniff and the head shake, which both seem unnatural. The animation isn't bad, but you need to observe the principals more to help communicate the gestures and actions.

Bilal Ahmad:

good work man!

Michael Richard:

The arcs are really nice, but I feel the head around 200 "I don't know..." moves side to side a bit too much.

Alexis St-Laurent:

Nice stuff, I like what was done with the phone, still needs more emoition in the body.

Victor Wong:

Timing on gestures and lip sync works well. The main thing I'd recommend would be that the eyes focus towards the phone rather than out into other space all the time. This gets across the impression that the speaker is subconsciously talking at her target.

Sean Graham:

Pretty floaty. Like the idea of the phone, that's the first phone I've seen. This just needs some tightening up in places. It's getting there.
