Jason Smith:
eh.....it looks OK. :p Now get working on January.
Mike York:
Nice start but I think it still needs work and polishing
Emmanuel:
Most of the poses are in step mode, remember when you're done with the animation to smooth out your keys in the graph editor.
Aaron Clement:
Okay, man, I'm assuming you ran out of time to finish this one... It's still in blocking so I can't really comment much. For more impact, you could do what some of the other's did by using camera cuts so we get a read on the other person's face... it's always stronger when we can see the face. Try focusing on your posing more... Try acting it out first... even record yourself doing it... but do it naturally... without being too cliche... I guess at the end of the day you just ran out of time.
Imus zai:
good try!
critique:
Man - keep both the feet together in the begining and as he leens forward make him take a step forward with his right leg
Women - When she says 'remarkably.......' may be you can have her lean forward and analyse the fruit cake?
Taber Dunipace:
Try to pose your characters a bit more naturally; film yourself for reference.
Erik Westlund:
Stiff and lifeless. Accept for the foot move in the beginning (which is not working mechanically) characters are dead from the waste down. Huge absence of life and personality because spine/torso of both characters have been completely ignored. Think "emotional flour sack".
Alex Fundora:
looks nice but obviously still a wip. biggest thing right now is a more dynamic pose composition~ its very predictable right now. looks like she is flicking him off at the end =D
Muhammad Azhari:
I think this clip is not finished yet. It just pass blocking step.
Need more work
Renn:
Expressions are a bit strange I think, and animation is far from complete, which is a shame.
Allier Zelaya:
Would have loved to seen it finished.
Dave H Shovlin:
Keep going.
Dan Harriman:
This one looks unfinished. Its a pity that her back is turned towards us. Perhaps we could be looking at them directly from the side or you could do some camera cuts between the two.
