Alex:

hilarious!

C. J. Cow:

lol.. i love the guy in the background! instant classic!

Taylor Potts:

HAHA!! The guy's performance is hilarious.
Peter Jackson said something like: some of the most powerful moments in CG are the still ones. Try to stay in your keys a little longer (moving holds); the girl tends to be in a constant state of motion.

David Atkins:

A little floaty..

Chris Welsby:

i like the reactions of the guy!

David Ruzicka:

I loved this one. Great idea with the guy, you got points for that, but it bit jerky and her arms float around.

bruno hamzagic:

very funny the idea of the boy imitating her lol :-)
among other things, i felt her eyes a little lost on acting, but in my opinion the ideas are very interesting. I felt creativity here :-)

Eric Huang:

haha! very funny :)

Although the boy is very funny, he's distracting me from focusing on the girl.... unless you intended that :)

Tyler Phillips:

I like the concept with the guy in the background, though I see a lot of drifting and her bottom eyelids look a little low. I think that they should be up in a squint or normal. Also I think she could blink a bit more.

Pedro Lopes:

WAY TO GO JASON!!!!
awesome idea

Tom Law:

lol I love the guys mockery when she says "I can resist this".

Kristoffer Clark:

More polishing. Vision was funny

Micah Betts:

Good punchline :) Tho the male moves a bit too quickly to his final pose. Eye pupils should be moving faster

Cole Higgins:

cute concept. Hit some more clear poses and sell more emotion with the girl. I was mostly looking at the guy which is okay but i think the girl could sell a little more acting.

Michael Li:

HILARIOUS! That's I am gonna say.

Aaron Clement:

Hehe, I like the ending here. A little floaty and twinny... but good job on being creative.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

Hahaha, nice approach. The animation is a bit floaty on both characters. The guy specially. The girl could use some more expresiveness.

garvey harris:

very smooth acting, he stole the show hahahahaha, she could've made a come back with more facial expression.

but nice work

Ezra Allen:

Love the guy in the background, I felt like that a lot when I was animating it. Hes much more interesting than her though, I think you should have put a bit more work into her. Cool idea

Chris Sutherland:

liked the use of second character for added humor; main character was a little floaty

David Humphreys:

concentrate on holding some poses

keep that curve editor on a leash

Bilal Ahmad:

good effort man!

Jarred de Beer:

I like the humour in this one! It would have been really nice if he had exaggerated his mouth movements to make him seem more sarcastic, as well as the lip sync being clearer on both characters, it's a little shy here. Nice!

Mike Courtney:

The girl moves forwards and backwards so much she looks as if she is going to be physically ill. The lip-sync is off. Good humor on the boy, try matching the girl's arm movements a bit more closely for better appeal.

Simon Bean:

I see what you're trying to do with the visual joke of the guy in the background, but you're breaking a cardinal rule of animation! Check out the acting section on Keith Lango's tutorial here http://www.keithlango.com/tutorials/old/popThru/polish.html
Hope that helps :)

Andrew Stovesand:

funny staging.

Victor Wong:

Definitely more SI/SO needed all around. Okay acting on the part of the boy, particularly the portrayal of boredom, but I don't get the sense of real interaction that's needed.

Dan R. Johnson:

Wonderful concept! You added a lot of value to this concept wise.
Lipsync needs work though.

Mark Dickie:

Funny concept. I think it would have worked much better though if you focused more on getting the female character to emphasize stronger emotions. Her facial expressions aren't appealing enough. Good effort though!

Brandon Ayers:

Your timing is way to even. try holding poses longer, and timing more unevenly.

Phillip Moon:

Very nearly there. His acting great, hers needed less motion and more deliberation.

Aparajitha Vaasudev:

great concept! :)

Taber Dunipace:

The concept is interesting but there isn't any real acting going on in this piece. The characters need to move the way real people move. The animation needs more observance of principals: arcs, anticipation, follow through, etc.

Phil:

Ha ha ha ha, this really cracked me up. Very original, i think he pops a bit too quick when she turns around, but for pure comedy, it was class.

thekamps:

great work.
could use a bit more work on the lipsync and exagerate those poses/extremes more

Virgil Mihailescu:

the idea is cool, funny, but the animation to support it is not really there. the lipsync for example is off.

Michael Richard:

nice concept of the characters interacting. The guy in the background really takes the scene, as he moves the most. I feel you could punch up his sarcastic emotion... more of a sneer in the mouth, maybe?

Alexis St-Laurent:

Nice, good idea! The transition at the end could have been smoother

Gregory Marlow:

funny. Still needs a lot of work but very funny.

Erik Girndt:

She is swimming around quite a bit. She could benefit from holding in a pose or two.

The boy is very distracting in the background. All his movement is drawing the attention away from her line and acting.

Matt Johnson:

Like the idea but it pulls too much from the main acting.

Max Herzfeld:

Nice interpretation. Very unique.

The girl could be more seriouly into her monologue, complimenting the guy poking fun at her.

The biggest movments were all to quick, and apontainious. Like when he goes back to normal(end) he just pops back into place. Make time for reactions.

Keep it up.
Max

Robert Tighe:

Nice going. The background character is too distracting for me.

Sean Graham:

This one seems like the the audio might be off some? That aside, the idea's interesting. Like the staging and that he's in the background doing kind of a "blah, blah" thing. Just needs some more time and some tightening. Maybe some reference for the guy in the background. The eyes on the girl float around quite a bit too.
