Nick Malutama:

Wow, simple lines and yet so much emotion and subtility

Brad Bradbury:

Love the scribblies. He's bouncing around so much though. I don't think you needed so many extreme poses.

Tristan Prior:

Although some of the line work is hard to make out in some places, I really love the flow of this animation. Well done.

Juan Calderon:

love the performance almost felt like it was a Broadway strong performance, I felt his emotion, the ending needs work, but your whole line work is quite fluid and nice, I like this it was good,if you had developed a character and placed this performance on top of a finished clean character this would be amazing work. Keep at it, because your defenetly on the right track

Cristian Polecat:

Nice, next time make an another pass, a little cleaner :)

Sean Thorpe:

experimental animation... I really liked this one, I say 7 stars for experimentation

Matt Hirengen:

very nice. I love the loose style.

rob eddy:

wow that's really cool. shows how powerful good gestures are

Alonso Soriano:

I like the look and feel of it. But without a stronger face I can't tell exactly what he's thinking, and I think that the motions are just building bigger and bigger, but not specifically building upon each other emotionally. Fun, but I think not the strongest approach for a character animation competition because it feels like you're trying to side step the difficult subtle stuff.

Rex Lai:

Your gestures, timing, line of action were all awesome, but I think some of the poses should have been held longer in place of more poses. In turn, I think animated holds would also display your lip-synching better.

Eric:

Good motin, very fluid. The body seemed to react to the dialogue well.

Jonay O. Urbina:

i really like the abstraction on this one. dont know if it's because you wanted to do a more abstract piece or because there is so much movement that it's not clear what is going on. but i like it

Martin Silfvast:

Cool, looks kinda like an angry ocean wave acting.

Ashley Stringer:

kind of hard to see whats was happening in the animation but the work i could see looked very good.

i would say go over it with black ink picking out the form of the character to make it looks a lot easier to read.

Chris Sullivan:

this is great!!!! I'd love to see this one win just because it's so different and original.

David Higgins:

It was so faint and whispy I couldn't tell what was going on there.

KISHORE:

its on2s but its hard to find the character
its my opinion that some take this competition seriously u took its as a scrabbling pad it seems i apologize if this heart your feelings.

Thomas Dumont:

Difficult to see properly but it seem good. You'll win to draw more proper.

Lauren Andersson:

hmmm, this was cool, i liked seeing it so gestural.

barak drori:

you know your motion, dude, nice

jan johansson:

I hope you finish this one, the animation looks really really promising, great work!

Mark Wheeler:

The style of drawing makes the animation almost abstract making it difficult to establish the character. But, posses and timing are interestingly expressive and clear.

Renato Fochi:

great movements!!
congrats!

David Thomson:

I really like this but im a sucka for handdrawn. It would be good to see it outlined, its kinda hard to see what is going on. good stuff though

brandonbeckstead:

Would love to see this one finished!

Matt Kelly:

i really like the head lean back.. very nice acting choices. the one part where he goes up on TODAS.. i feel you could break up the arm and head movement so that the head delayed slightly behind

Chase Shields:

It seems too jumbled. But I like the acting. Can you define the character more in the lines?

Andrew:

has the potential to be a really nice piece

Matthew Murray:

that was pretty cool

Avner Engel:

I think this one is great because of the rough approach you have taken. It's very expressive and it serves the audio clip well.

One thing I feel could be pushed more is the moving holds. There were bits I found a little too quick to follow.

Overall well done!

Alex Jansen:

Amazing style...loved it

Ryan Chan:

Looking really great.. for what you have so far. Doesn't looked finished though..

juli:

It is interesting

Michael Carter:

very loose and I loved the motion!

Andrew Harding:

Okay it's clearly a work-in-progress and you have quite a way to go, but I can already feel the emotion behind the character's poses. The movement is very fluid, especially fitting for a 2D animation. Would really love to see where you take this.

Fernando Porcel:

Nice scribble animation :) Nice rhytm and motion

Mark Persson:

Nice job! Love 2D drawings!

You have all the basic body movement for the character, roughly! Not much face expression!

Well.. it needs more work though...

Keep up with good work!

Rómulo Lazarde:

You cant recognize a face, but the way those lines move is fascinating!

Mel Gonzalez:

I get the feeling here, its spot on. The emotion fits the audio. I just wish it was more finished.
