Animator: Chris Welsby

Description: I would have liked to add a second character who is on the left. At the start she is quite reflective but then looks to the other character when she starts to refer to his moment.

Experience: about 5 months

Time taken: 2 and a half days

C. J. Cow:

cool acting but i dont like the green hue

Tyler Phillips:

I think her eyes bounce around too much. I think they could move, then hold, move, then hold. Also I think her point could be a little stronger if her finger is extended all the way and adjust the wrist accordingly. Nice acting though.

Cole Higgins:

feel like your animting to the dialogue and not to what the character is thinking, Next time spend lots of time thinking about what the character is thinking.

Aaron Clement:

Very green. Nothing really stands out. Felt bland. Watch the floatiness. Good silhouette.

David Humphreys:

you might want to think about taking that camera move out.

you have some decent poses in there but some of your motions feel a bit slllloooow and its drains some of the vitality from your peice.

good solid sync though and your eyes are working well!

garvey harris:

I'm rooting for you because I can see you were almost there, almost

Ezra Allen:

needs more weight your looking a bit floaty there mate. The poses are fine, you just nees some over lap and to give the impression shes taking steps and not floating

Damon Smith:

Eye speed seems a bit slow for the intensity of the scene, needs to jitter around a bit perhaps?

Mark Dickie:

Some of the timing appears a little off, you might need to pay more attention to your curves. The camera move at the start isn't really helping much. Keep at it!

Simon Bean:

Nice. The motions's jilted for me, seems to move pose to pose without real connection. At the end, her left hand's unconvincing in the manner its held. Dial up your facial expression. Shows up at the end but not before

Christiaan Moleman:

Without a background the camera move is a bit disorienting. Some of the lip-sync seems off.

I think the finger 'point' at the end should be poking more forcefully, like really stabbing the air. The left hand feels a bit odd sorta floating there at the end... maybe drop it down.

Mike Courtney:

Have a background that contrasts more with the character so people can see the animation better. The end pose could be strengthened by extending the right arm and finger out further. The fingers on the left hand contract for no reason at "resist it".

Kellie:

I really like the addition of the finger at the end, along with the squint this was a VERY effective movement!

Sean Graham:

Not bad. Not sure what's happening at the beginning, as she comes forward and down into frame. That last pose, the forward hand and arm should probably be lowered out of frame. Right now it's distracting and does not assist the line of action. Overall, I think it works pretty well. The biggest thing that stood out was the lipsynch, the phonemes are pretty muddy.

thekamps:

Love the pose/facial animation.
The lipsync looks really busy and off in the middle to me.

Bilal Ahmad:

nice effort!

Gregory Marlow:

Egad, why the finger point. It was looking so good until the cheesy finger point. It has been in about 75% of the animation I have watched so far.

Taber Dunipace:

Her body floats between poses and has very little to no impact. The acting is fairly dull for this frenetic piece and could use a lot of livening up.

Matt Johnson:

Feels floaty in some spots, but overall nice job.

Victor Wong:

Gestures need a lot more SI/SO. Lip sync timing is acceptable, but the lip shapes aren't quite there yet.
