Bing Chen:

oh ~~ a listening test?
it make me laugh..hah

Aja Bogdanoff:

The hand animation is very nice, and it's a clever idea to focus on just them while the character listens, but it's just not clear who these hands belong to, or how they relate to the audio. This would be a stronger piece if the hands and body were more closely tied to the audio, if they clearly belonged to one of the voices speaking. Nice job with their movement though, very natural!

Daniel Huertas:

still don't get it :S... sorry

Mike York:

Im not sure If I get the story or idea you are trying to convey...

rekhathorat:

Nice..i would love to see characters facials which will complement this good animation piece. :)

Tim Nowak:

I dont get it but nice flow of work

luc:

Clever interpretation :)

Emmanuel:

I didn't really get the idea of the animation? Maybe something more like him thinking of the answers.

lizbeth:

I think the animation is good. I just don't understand the concept

Erik Westlund:

You have a strange and unique concept that makes me want to see what else you can do... unfortunately, this example isn't explaining itself enough for me to identify why a test is being taken. Its a nice example of a waiting exercise with a gear shift, but doesn't seem to relate to the audio at all. Very convincing movement/weight, and very polished.

Emmanuel Vergne:

... i don't understand...
Is this some kind of a test where he has to check for the words he hears ?

Markus Kallio:

I don't get it.

Frank G:

Interesting.

Mariya Kalachova:

Good animation, but I don't really get it. How is it connected to the dialogue

Imus zai:

i love it! but i'm a little bit lost on the story? sorry

Taber Dunipace:

What are we looking at here? Well the animation quality is nice I guess, I just have no idea what's going on.

HARISH:

good work(animation) !! but ,sorry i did not understand the concept.

Joe Garhan:

i dont get it.

C. J. Cow:

i don't get it...

Mat Brady:

Clever, but obviously this isn't what was called for.

Gemma Quill:

Great animation but i found the idea a little confusing and unclear.

Sachin:

nice concept and good animation.......

Matt Kenley:

what just happened.

Jonathan Paquin:

Animation is not bad but I have absolutely NO idea what is going on or what you were trying to achieve.

Paulo Clayton:

The visuals are very well done, smooth movement from the hands, etc., but what does it have to do with the dialog? A bit too far out in left field for me.

Jason Smith:

Interesting idea... good animation.

Dan Dulberger:

Nice animation. Unfortunatly it has nothinig to do with the audio clip.

ClintW:

what does this have to do with the dialogue....definately not clear if there is a connection....

Joe Jacob:

Odd take on the clip, but decently animated.

Andrew Stovesand:

I dont really understand the idea.

Dan Harriman:

A bit of a disconnected take on the dialogue. I didn't get it at first. I wasn't even sure who's hands we were looking at. They could have belonged to anyone really. The motion's not bad though.

Kat Curry:

funny idea, nice hands...didn't quite understand her last gesture tho

Aaron Clement:

Okay, interesting way you've taken the dialogue... You get points for originality... I think you could have had some kind of guester even with just hands... could have been more expressive... Would have helped to over animate in this case.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

Frankly, I don't get the idea. I can't see any character animation here though. I guess you wanted to make an exercise on hand gesturing. Still the pen move, although well timed, seems wrong, I'd say it pivots on a worng spot on the hand. Also the whole clip seems a little jerky, maybe lacking frames.

Dan Weiland:

I like the animation itself quite a bit! The motions of the hands and even the *sigh* of the body is very good. I don't feel like the animation really matches the sound clip though.

Ricardo Silva:

nicely done mechanic but I think the point of this was to do an acting animation.

Amy:

Sorry I don't get it.

Allier Zelaya:

I didn't really understand this animation.

Cameron Huber:

I..... don't get it :-|

Steve Sloan:

I really don't understand what's going on, other than that the animation is pretty good.

M.Bell:

What were you trying to say or achieve with this entry?

There’s some nice subtle animation with the hands, but SO WHAT?!
No matter how polished or unpolished an animation is... good or bad... full or limited, not matter what medium. All that doesn't count for much if what’s on the screen doesn't communicate or have purpose.

What are yours?

Richard Clark:

Interesting but seems like a cop out to character performance.

Jerry Vavra:

not quite sure what you were going for in your acting choice.

Dave H Shovlin:

The animation is nice but I'm not sure I'm getting the idea here. Maybe that's just me.

jonathan fontaine:

maybe i m'too tired.. i d'ont understand...
good animation indeed.

Ben Hammersley:

what is the focus here?

Chris Welsby:

no idea whats going on, but the hand animation is nice
