hahaha funny ;)

Chris Bryer:

like the concept. like alot of the acting choices, but the hips dont seem to move at all, and the legs seem to float around at times and not really dig into the ground. (specifically when he marches up to the camera). it almost seems like there is no ik on the legs because when he bends at the end the legs floated up in the air behind him. again, like the acting choices and the concept. nice work.

Andrew:

turn, throw and kick need work to make them believable

Shakaib Feroz:

I really like your idea. But there are quite a few things you can. do to improve it. First thing, there seems to be a good deal of twinning over here. Make the poses more asymmetrical. You need to add some anticipation before the kick, and also just before he starts to walk. Add some more weight to his steps. This can be done by accentuating the up-down movements in the walk, but make sure you keep your eye on timing as well. Tweaking the timing of him throwing his hat could add a better illusion of force and weight.

Keep animating, and have fun! That's teh way you learn animation! :)

Mark Persson:

Great idea and a good start! But the character needs more work though...

rob eddy:

really like this scene setup. funny stuff. i think his lower body weight is missing, but get that in and it'll look much better. for instance, frame 1, think his lower body should be shifted so it's leaning towards screen right, frame 26 his upper body comes forward but not lower body, 83 you made him bend into the turn, but just work on planting that right foot, right now it's sliding, and same thing around 150, lock that right foot down and it'll make him feel heavier. fun scene though nice job

Ashley Stringer:

looks good but maybe a little to much twinning.

never the less well done

Nicola:

Love the idea behind the animation. At the beginning, it could use some work on the lower body movement.

Alonso Soriano:

I don't feel the weight, it feels like he's floating from his Center, instead of being supported by his legs

Juan Calderon:

good effort, work on your walk cycles and on your accents. wathcout with your waist the root of the character, it seems to stay stationary
