Sergey B.:

Nice animation!

Daniel Huertas:

nice idea and set up.. i think the characters suit very nice the audio clip.. but i feel that you could have polish it a little bit more.... your moving holds don't have movement at all and from pose to pose you don't have eases... that makes it look stiff.. nice job overall though

Jeff Kim:

Haha, I like the idea of spoiled rich people regifting gifts. The woman seems far more polished that the man. I like all the acting choices here. Good work!

rekhathorat:

funny..Good! could be better.:)

luc:

Very original, that one made me smile. Still animation need some work.

Will Mann:

Good concept but could use a little work. The mans movements are a little bumpy.

Ken Rice:

This felt satisfying to watch - very different approach. Nice use of multiple angles without causing confusion. If I nit pick I would say that the male's silhouette gets lost a tad against the background on the word 'yes'.
Really like this one - well done.

Tyson Ibele:

Would be quite a bit better if the lip sync on the woman was improved...otherwise a nice clip :)

lizbeth:

I think the idea of this one is funny. I like the acting of the woman. I do wish I could see alittle more into the character of the guy. I think in the part where he says "yes", it might help getting a little more of his facial reaction instead of the broader gesture...especially since in the dialogue he says it somewhat softer.

Rami Atrash:

Nice idea =) but animation can be improved.

Mathias Takacs:

funny, 1 ton fruit cake!!!

Erik Westlund:

This is communicating. Nice, distinct line of action in the gesture on "yesss... ". Unfortunately, the seated female character reads as stiff instead of prim and/or reserved. She needs more reversal/contrast in line of action to add emphasis to her attitude. Needs more design in line of action, flow lines, competing angles, etc overall. Final reaction doesn't require close-up. Wonderfully absurd setup/gag.

Alex Fundora:

The shot setup and concept is very cool. I'm lovin the character gestures, especially on the butler, though, there seems to be a lot of locking more noticeably when he climbs out of the lift. cool characters ^_^

Emmanuel Vergne:

nice poses, but everything seems mechanical

Chris Sacco:

I really like the animation of the female character!

Tim Nowak:

Nice twist! I like how the rich people have the big stuff. And it shows you that both of them are comfortable of how big the cake is. Nice emotions too, you can get the whole vibe quickly

Taber Dunipace:

Interesting choice. I'm kind of confused as to why it's so big. I'd love to see that explained in the characters' actions.

wingscg@gmail.com:

Funy idea! I liked, and the act and timming likes good.

Frank G:

I like this one from the moment the fruitcake nudges into view.
That's not some namby, pamby, flippy, floppy, floaty fruit soufflé we're talking about here. Great acting right down to the fork lift shake.

sharad kumar:

???...Did she give this big cake to him last year!!!!!

Jules Nerestant:

Solid animation on the man and the truck. The lady has great personality but feels a tad robotic when she puts down the cup and plate.

Henning Koczy:

She's really good, you can feel the disdain. You lose a lot of character acting possibilities with him though, cause he's busy with the forklift. I don't get a sense of his character, he's like a butler.

Ambuj:

Nice!! But i think u could have given a bit weight on the walk. And "yes" part can be more improvised. Theres a sec gap wih everything still. Else Good job!!

Mat Brady:

Teee-riffic models. Perfect for this. Great presentation, but your anim could be better. Love the effort though. Great stuff.

Matt Kenley:

she gave him that last year?

jonathan topf:

more polish

HARISH:

good one !!! i like the guy when he gets down from the vehicle and walks towards the lady

ClintW:

funny concept.....

arunprasad:

need more improment. Do not add frames.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

Hahaha, nice! Very original approach. You've got some nice animation, specially on the butler. The only problem I find is that the staging is a little too far and you missed the whole "Merry christmas" line which would've added a lot to the clip. The last butler take is a little cliché, maybe a simpler and subtler reaction would suit the clip better.

Again a nice, well-crafted clip, definately reel worthy. Congratulations!

chia:

haha what a big fruit cake.Nice try.

cheers,
chia

Imus zai:

no comment! woowwo

James Wilson:

good idea.

Jason Smith:

Great idea!! I love the forklift. That's a big ol' fruitcake.

Brad Regier:

ha ha. Fun concept. It would be funny if he were really fat; but that's a rig thing...

Aaron Clement:

Not too bad... Maybe one too many camera cuts in there. I can see you've gone to a lot of trouble with this one... I still feel the acting could be stronger... exaggerated more... some missed opportunitles for acting here.

Cameron Huber:

hahaha that made me laugh man, nicely done! his walk over seemed a little strange but all in all a very nicely done animation piece!

V_I_C_K_Y:

Nice composition..GD Style..!

doc:

i didn't see that one coming :)

Richard Clark:

Good poses but too choppy. Motions come to an abrupt stop.

Dave H Shovlin:

Interesting idea. The two characters make sense but the giant fruitcake seems kinda random.

Anthony Travieso:

Cool idea, i think the motion when he comes out the forklift feels a bit robotic. Try to get everything to flow better. Around frame 62 to about 69 the right arm feel like it pops. It comes around moves forward then back and forward again. When she puts the cup down that feels to quick for me. IT almost feel like she drops it down .

Robert Braddy:

Haha giant fruit cake nice one. I love it when people can find a simple gag like that to kick audio up a notch.
