Tim Nowak:

This animation shows how much of a B*#@h she really is. HA!
The lip sync needs work as well as the movemnet. Good story though

Erik Westlund:

Too static. Poses are stiff and mostly lifeless. Characters should have a changing line of action. Weight is too evenly distributed on both feet. Male character is convincing when confirming with "yesss.... " Eyes of "Mrs. Munchnick" seem to stop blinking/ opening together at about frame 83. Her brows are not moving with her eyes. Doesn't look skeptical, just broken. The way she turns towards the camera and says her lines its as if she is aware of us and is about to ask, "so, how did I do?".

Aaron Clement:

Entertaining... I liked the girl... Felt a bit unnatural with the movements... a bit woody... needed more texture... My brother like your clip a lot... he suggested a rating of 5... so that's what I'll give.

Chris Sacco:

I think that the woman needs to face the man more. It's awkward that she is looking away the entire time even before she gets angry that it's just a fruitcake.

Imus zai:

Good try!
Critique:
the man needs to go to the last pose after the lady said '...last year' and not before!

Taber Dunipace:

The motion is very soft and floaty, a hallmark of incomplete CG animation. Try to work on your timing and inbetweens.

She never even looks at him. Also, scale-wise, she's a giant monster compared to him, which is upsetting somehow.

Kenny:

needs better lipsync

sharad kumar:

character scales dont match...when u import characters check their relative sizes and then proceed..

Katy Lambourne:

Definitely could do with a little bit of work. For starters, the layout of the characters could have been improved - would you ever see 2 people standing having a converstation like this? I will say that the male character is animated quite well, but it's the female character that kills the sequence. Her hand reaction should have come a lot earlier with the 'a fruitcake?'.... it seems too delayed and doesn't really flow well. The lip sync could do with some tidying up, and her gesture seems a little too flamboyant for the 'remarkably'... I also don't understand why her head stays in that same position for a few seconds - it doesn't make the conversation very believable.

Paulo Clayton:

Something looks pretty odd with the perspective and positioning. Nice effort, though.

Andrew Linke:

needs work on the lip sync

Phil:

i think the girl should look at the guy

cecile:

be careful to your posing ...

HARISH:

the lip sync of the lady is off. u could have much better poses for both the characters. the overall body lacks weight and looks very static.
