Justin Weg:

Need to work on her facial expressions

Micah Betts:

I really like the animation on the male character. I think there could be less pause inbetween poses for the female

Christopher Sosa:

really good animation. I like your props and the set you placed them in the most.

C. J. Cow:

great effort! good camera movement. when the girl grabs the guys arm her hands feel like theyre pinned in space

Chris Welsby:

nice work! would be nice to see the guy react a bit more to what the woman is saying. he doest seem to be very impressed with what she is saying so maybe he could be subtle trying to get out of her grip. This would also allow you to add some nice subtelties to the girls hand as well as she grips his arm. looking really cool though

Alonso Soriano:

her holding on to him doesn't affect either of them enough, her hands look IK'd onto his arm, and he doesn't feel pulled around by the weight of her arms hardly. Those eye shapes are much to wild, particularly on her. Not sure what she's trying to communicate non verbally, she feels like she's monologueing even though she's talking to him. I like his acting a lot, nice and subtle, but not quite reacting enough to her, why did he stop to listen, he looks like he's waiting for a bus, not like he's listening carefully and considering how he's going to respond then deciding not to.

David Ruzicka:

nice

Tom Law:

The acting in this is just great

Cameron D:

I like the use of the second actor, and the cut for camera angle. The lipsynch in the first part seems off. Overall, I liked this one.

Kristoffer Clark:

Nice. I liked it, maybe a little more offset on the hands.

Dhar:

I love the film noir style. The facial expressions were a bit on the extreme. Really good overall.

Cole Higgins:

good but im not feeling her emotions. She seems kind of like she doesnt really care about what she is saying. the look on her face doesnt match well to the dialogue for me.

Tyler Phillips:

I like how when she's holding his arm, she actually moves him and then when she lets go, his weight shifts away from her. After she stops running in the beginning her torso seems a bit stiff, though great acting and animation of the hands and face.

Michael Li:

I really like the whole setup and the performance. But she didn't look very convincing emotionally. Still I love the nostalgic look of this one. Great stuff on the supporting actor too :)

Mark Dickie:

Sweet! I love the emotion demonstrated, particularly in the eyes. Excellent lip sync and general acting.

Aaron Clement:

Not bad. I liked all of this except for the eyes on the girl at the start... felt too drooped down... when a more alert expression would have been better... One of the better ones for sure,though.

P Walters:

Nice movement, I like the B&W, nice work.

garvey harris:

i like, i like, really strong performance, but everyone is struggling with conveying that the other person also had a moment of weakness. but wicked work alround, very believable and I like the body language especially when she was holding onto him

Ezra Allen:

Yeah I like this one, the only thing is the guy gets a bit static when shes pulling on his arm, it makes the contact not as beleivable as it might be.

Traci Plagmann:

Really nice job. I like it a lot. Nice choice of using the black/white too. Good job on the eyes and eyebrows.

Jarred de Beer:

The eyes are nicely expressed, I just feel the lip sync fails it a little. Lovely little piece of animation!

Simon Bean:

Quite nice visual setup, and begins great until she grabs arm where IMO it becomes a little stiff. Poses are ok, but bishops such an expressive character, think you might have dialled up the emotion? Nice work though - love the finger drying the eye :)

Florent Perrin:

Quite cool, but very strange choices of facial expressions...

Mike Courtney:

Great interaction between characters. Lip-sync not quite there yet. Eyebrows on girl a bit jerky.

Eric Kramp:

I actually liked the guy's expressions more than the girl's. Her expressions seemed kind of over the top.

Victor Wong:

Good acting in the facial features and the gestures. The only real problem is that I don't get the feeling of weight when she grabs the arm.

Felix:

nice expressions, animation needs improvement.

Phillip Moon:

Nicely acted. Right out of a 40's or 50's movie.

Sean Graham:

Nice work! I might tone down the eye shapes some, but really, this is quite good.

Taber Dunipace:

Yes! An animation with mood! Very nice specificity of character here, and you're so far the only entry I've seen to actually TELL A STORY! Aside from one or two little areas where the animation slips up a bit, I think you nailed this one. Great job!

Bilal Ahmad:

nice effort!

Virgil Mihailescu:

hard to tell what's going on, the expressions on their faces kind'a change like crazy - at the end, and I don't think it's staged that well, logical and all. but the animation looks very good.

Gregory Marlow:

Very good. I like the BW old film interpretation. Good Job.

Jeranimo:

Good work. Though, the face of this girl looks kinda disconnected. The eyebrows are following the eyelids . Its not looking good. I just don't like the way her eyebrows move! Overall, nice work.

Jeff W.:

Incredible facial expressions. Tremendous job!

Max Herzfeld:

The guy has a really nice reaction in the face to being pulled back.

The emotion seems a bit muted though in the girl. I would have loved to see her face when she saw that he was leaving.

Great subtlties though,

Nice job,
Max

Robert Tighe:

Cool! I love how she comes out and grabs his arm!
Lip-synch is pretty decent. The secondary character stays secondary. Good stuff!

Srikanth:

NICE WORK...

Christiaan Moleman:

The eyelids on the girl look a bit strange, sorta broken. It's mainly the lack of a smooth curve, but the overall angle might be a bit much as well.
