C. J. Cow:

good animation, yo. what a cute character!!

Jason Pennington:

very strong entry. I especially like the settle back into the chair from 140-160.

Christopher Sosa:

Great acting in here.

Paul Yan:

Watch out for the eyeline on 12 (esp the right eye) Great work otherwise :)

David Atkins:

I dig it..

David Ruzicka:

I love the body movement but the face needs more work.

Eric Huang:

nice motion! I feel like all your poses were really well done except the last one.. it just doesn't fit.

Chris Welsby:

nice work

Tom Law:

The pose on frame 50 is the best, well done

nideep:

Aju,my pal!....great mann!!

Kristoffer Clark:

The lip syn was good and the gestures are strong. The animation matched the character

Cole Higgins:

cool movement but I dont know why shes moving that way. I am not feeling any realy emotions in her.

Tyler Phillips:

Nice and simple.

Aaron Clement:

Nice, I liked the feel of this. I liked all of this except for the ending... felt weak and cliche. Overall, job well done.

Ozgur Yildirim:

Very stylish one here. I like it. The lip synching is not so good though.

P Walters:

Very nice. I don't think the motion would work as well on a less cartoony character but you pulled it off well. Nice.

Jamal D. Owens:

Really nice, timing in certain areas would help this a bit. Overall, nice job.

garvey harris:

yer - excellentn use of the prop - when I used to go to acting classes a suggestion I made that made a lot of sense was that if you were on a bus or a in car and passing by and saw the character acting out the part, without hearing what was being said, how much of the expression and body language tells you what is going on?

I think the key here is resisting, and accusing the other character that they also had a moment of weakness, so far I'm not seeing that being expressed enough

Ezra Allen:

Yeah I really like this one, it has a really strong style. The model you chose works well for you too, fits well with your style. There a couple of things I would change, the animation is really clean and crisp all the way through, but when she taps the table with her finger it feel s too clean I dont feel a weight in the hand, also when she drags her hand across the table, Im not really beleiving the contact with the table. Small things really, over all I think this anim is top notch, well done.

Carmelo Leggiero:

good poses, and acting choise, sometimes looks like you forget the arcs, and i will try to create more organic movement here and there. Good WORK!

Eric Scheur:

Very very nice! I love the way you push those hand and finger poses. :) And the way you get from one pose to another feels very natural and appealing. And your poses are so clear and easily readable... very nice!

One thing that struck me, though, was that she seems to start out in a pose that's kind of like she's waiting for the camera to turn on so she can begin to deliver her line. A good rule of thumb to keep in mind is that scenes begin in the middle... that is, when you have a scene, that scene is falling in the middle of some action or storyline that's already happening--you're unlikely to just see someone waiting to act, and then acting. It feels like this piece could have started in a more energetic place...

Also, regarding the lip-sync... I don't know what kind of controls you have on this character, but I feel like you could have gotten use out of a much stronger "OOOO" shape, especially in words like "mOment" and "knoW When" (w's are bascially OOO shapes)

Overall, though, I think this is a very easy piece to watch and it reads clearly... I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future! :)

Michael Richard:

I like the character and the acting is good. I think what doesn't do it for me on this one are the eyebrows and emotion overall. There's no strong emotion of sadness, it could be a rig problem (where you don't have a lot of control on the brows).

Dan Dulberger:

Good animation. I'm not sure if the clip conveys all the emotion though.

bruno hamzagic:

cool! :-)

vinay:

awesome. really good

Jarred de Beer:

I like the acting and placement on screen, her lip sync is a little hard to follow though

Simon Bean:

Lovely animation- you certainly know what you're doing but I'm afraid the cartoony acting (the Moom rig doesn't help here) doesn't carry the audio as well as some of the other subtler entries here. Like I said, animation's very pretty tho,good work. Hope that helps :)

miles southan:

Great work! Keep an eye on your arcs though. Especially on the head shake and the head turns (like around frame 46). The way the head stays at the same Y orientation after the move ending around 105 seems strange to me too. All this needs is one little cleanup pass.

Mike Courtney:

Lip-sync is a bit off.

Renzo Biffa E.:

more lip-sync job, but the animation of the character has it’s own sparkle of life.

Andrew Stovesand:

Looks pretty good

Max Herzfeld:

You have very strong poseing and movements, I like the way the hand was draged off the table, but it's a bit too posey they move well but still seem to freezein place.

I really liked your interpretation though.

good job,
Max

Felix:

not bad...

Taber Dunipace:

A weird but interesting interpretation! I like what's going on here, but it's a bit too confusing in terms of acting to be believable. There's also a big lack of arcs and anticipations in the animation.

Phillip Moon:

Looks great.

Virgil Mihailescu:

I'm like... is that moooooooooom? hehe. really nice animation. maybe the last gesture I don't buy, and there are some lipsync issues, but the whole thing is overall very nicely done, and looking great. many many many stars from me ;)

Gregory Marlow:

Pretty good.

Jeranimo:

Great job! By the way, who is she talking to? The camera man? Sitting behind a table which his hiding the rest of the body and the character saying something and doing all kinds of gestures, is a total cliche in my opinion. I've seen a lot of guys doing that. It looks boring. Its not bad, but I'm totally bored with the style.

Great job though! :)

Victor Wong:

Good timing in the gestures and lip sync. The point of view for the character seems to be shifting just a bit.

Matt Johnson:

animation still feels loose but nice job

Henning Koczy:

Technically really good, but I'm not feeling the desperation.

Bilal Ahmad:

nice effort!

Srikanth:

Very nice.....

Sean Graham:

Nice. The lipsynch seems a little off in places, but super duper work.
