Tim Nowak:

Creative.

Emmanuel:

Interesting concept, but how did Mrs. Munchnick get to the other side?

Radhika:

nice! i like the whole 'switching characters' bit..

Aaron Clement:

I liked the ending... the last expression was good...interesting take with the back and forth of the guy... couldn't relate much to it, though... felt like the whole clip was just him moving back and forth... and no focus to the actual acting of the clip... that's why the last expression was the strongest.

Emmanuel Vergne:

if you wanted to act that scene that way, what didn't you choose to put 2 cameras because now you're trapped : the whole shot you set up things so that we understand the front character is the guy an the back one is the lady, but at the end you change it... it's very distractive and you completely loose clarity.

Chris Sacco:

The role switching gets a bit confusing especially at the end when the women is suddenly on the right side instead of the left.

HARISH:

good start !! when the guy say " Merry christmas" the character is off balance. lip sync needs to be worked on .though i like the idea of a single character playing 2 roles.
Good attempt.

Taber Dunipace:

She's... in the wrong place at the end. Interesting but gimmicky.

Frank G:

Wow. What an interesting interpretation. He was a bit overbalanced at the start. Good acting, I thought.

chia:

NIce try... ha great idea.
cheers,
Chia

Erik Westlund:

I'm not sold on the shifting roles and gender thing. It seems to be an unnecessarily complicated, secondary concern to that of crafting a believable performance. Hand gestures are very similar between male and female roles... and too symmetrical on left and right sides. Hands and fingers as well are too symmetrical in position and movement. Watch people's hands, you will notice a distinct difference between the index finger and the pinky in most hand gestures.

Cameron Huber:

The idea is kind of cool, however I don't like the fact that he keeps jumping left and right... especially when he jumps to the left and then corrects himself back to the original position. I think it would work better if he were talking into a mirror, and the reflection was talking, or if he was seated in a chair and simply rotating his torso left and right. You can still achieve the same idea without him changing body shape too, as it gives a weird t-1000 feel to it ;)

Diana Gueorguieva:

Hi!
Good job. I just don't understand why did you use the same character for 2 roles. Your animation will be so much better if you use 2 characters instead of one that moves all over the place.
Otherwise, well done.

Mat Brady:

Just use two characters. This didn't work. Soz. Too bad too. There was some decent anim in this.

Gemma Quill:

funny idea!

lizzie:

slightly confusing

ClintW:

loses something in all the interchange of character...

Ian Johnston:

Good premise. Remember which side of the conversation is Mrs. Munchnik and which is the fruitcake giver. They switch places halfway through. I think I know what you were trying to do by having him switch places with her and have the same pose, but it didn't read very clear and was jarring. It would help to keep Mrs. Munchnik on one side always and same for the other character portrayed.

Joe Jacob:

Cool idea, needs a bit more smoothing out.

Chris de Souza:

This sorta worked until the end when she traded places with him... it got kinda confusing there.

Ern:

interesting concept

Kat Curry:

a unique idea, but the staging is a little odd...I'd make sure the male character's eye direction makes sense. And then i'm not sure why the female character jumps across the screen at the end to deliver the line, better to have her turn to camera. interesting idea, though!

Renn:

A novel idea, even if not suited to the subject matter. Execution could use a bit of work. Gets a bit confusing, especially when the characters move so much and change form without any real continuity.

Dan Weiland:

Interesting idea - but I think that the last transitions from guy, to woman, to woman facing the other way kind of makes things even more confusing. Try to keep things a bit simpler.

danyeal:

i dont think u need this transformations. would be better if he just stays himself

James Wilson:

interesting idea

Adam Clark:

hmm...good idea but it doesn't quite work

Imus zai:

nice idea of the dubble acting!

Dave H Shovlin:

I don't know. . . I would just have two different guys.

Dan Harriman:

I'm confused. When he's on the right, isn't he pretending to be a guy? Why does he swap places twice before the "Remarkably....." line?

Ben Hammersley:

cool idea, but the switching places didn't work quite work, at the start he is looking to his right and then the woman is standing well away from where he was looking.
