C. J. Cow:

i have seen this piece in the wip section and know how much research u did for it. good job!

Eric Huang:

Hey very nice! I like the setup and the situation here... well thought out. Your poses are good too, although I feel like the pose on frame 143 is a little off to me.

Chris Welsby:

some nice stuff in there

David Humphreys:

very very good.

the cut is good but the guy looks a little blank, considering shes upset he dosent seem too concerned.

Francisco Martinez:

The motion of when she pushes away doesn't seem to fit. It'd probably work better if there was a pause after she pushed away, then the dialogue kicks in.

Tom Law:

This is incredibly well done, I really like the movement as she brushes her hair across her ear.

Tyler Phillips:

I really like this one. Great acting choices, though I think her bottom lids are up a little high for the whole animation. I would of liked to see a little more variation. Also, if you don't know how to display the textures clearly for the playblast, you could post in the forum and I or someone could help you because those eyebrows really make a difference.

Kristoffer Clark:

Good stuff

Roger Feron:

The 'struggle' pose looks too extreme at the start, like she's head butting him. His reaction straight after the cut is too subdued considering the intensity of the 'push off'. The pose on "always (a moment)" looks over done, I wouldn't stick her neck out so far. The 'sniff' pose is a little overdone too. Other gestures work well. The last line - "I bet you there was one" - is done very well, I like how she looks down her shoulder towards him.

Cole Higgins:

great thinking in the begginning.. really feel that kick away. Good stuff. Her acting though is missing a little reaction to the boyfriend. Great stuff though.

Aaron Clement:

Interesting take on the dialogue. Felt a little odd when she looked to the floor and not him part way through. Good thought process.

Ozgur Yildirim:

The acting is very interesting.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

Good job, the first get away move is really nice. I think it lacks some clip response. Maybe some more head movement on the accent parts of the dialog.

Ezra Allen:

frame 124 the angle on the head looks a bit unatural to me. I like the push away at the start nice to see something different

garvey harris:

strong start, then it didn't escalate to a good as finishe as it started, but nice work

Chris Sutherland:

love the look she gives him at the end, when she looks into both his eyes; her poses are strong and his reactions are appropriate

Michael Richard:

I've watched this one from day one... really nice female acting and posing. I really like her changes of emotion, very nice and subtle.

Simon Bean:

Love the pose with the hand on the arm- really natural- self comforting posture, wish I'd thought of that. The beginning move (push away) is ambitious but a bit rushed for me. During the "i can resist it " phrase it's hard for me to tell what emotion you're aiming for. Perhaps re-think that expression. The sniff looks really awkward, the way the eyelids stay up. Final poses from touching hair to hand on lap and teh eye - darting are lovely! Hope that's of help :)

miles southan:

Great job! Watch that arm motion on 170 though. The arc and spacing are a little strange.

Mike Courtney:

Not sure what's going on with the legs as she's moving over. A stronger reaction to being pushed away on the boy would be welcome.

Micah Betts:

Great job, I would have liked to see more reaction from the guy though

Victor Wong:

The eyes don't seem to be making contact as they should be in the end. Good personality animation with the rubbing of the arm.

Taber Dunipace:

The final pose is really awkward, such as an overly dramatic stage actress might make. Interesting though. I like this scene very much overall, but it could certainly use a little simplification and slightly better arcs. Very nice poses for the most part.

Christiaan Moleman:

Maybe the pose change for the *sniff* is a bit big... otherwise very nice.

Virgil Mihailescu:

nice expressions on her face, and I like the idea and all, but his reactions to her drama... well, where are they? he looks more like he's absent from the shot, or parallel to what's happening (except for when she breaks loose). the first pose of the two characters could also be improved

Gregory Marlow:

Super job dude. Not crazy about the last pose but otherwise I like it.

Alonso Soriano:

great interaction and physicallity as she pushes off with her head and arm, and squirms to move. He seems oddly unconcerned that his head just got shoved, just kind of vacant. Her hands aren't believable for the initial crying, though the shoulders are. Amusingly I think you are hitting your poses all a little obviously and you should try to roll through them more, except for the last ones with the emotion change where I think you should hit the poses a little stronger for more contrast to go with her strong pronouncement.

Robert Tighe:

Excellent work. I really don't agree with the pose on "I can resist it"

Henning Koczy:

That jerk!! Near flawless.

Bilal Ahmad:

nice effort!
