I like it.. But I think it would have been nice to see more of the other characters actions and reactions
Bing Chen:
nice job~~keep moving forward~!!
rekhathorat:
you could have played with other characters expressions too.. nice though!
Daniel Huertas:
I think she needs to look again at the fruitcake to really believe in her acting.. i like the body mechanics and the poses though..
Tyson Ibele:
Overall nice acting! However, some of the lipsync was off. Also, her looking away before saying her final line didn't read very well....I'd expect her to do something more along the lines of distastefully pausing and looking at the guy/cake before delivering the line.
Ken Rice:
Good effort - however not sure if the framing of the male character is working here.
Tim Nowak:
Good work on the flow and smoothness but she really doesnt feel anything about the situation of how cheap the guy is.
Mathias Takacs:
great work!!!
Aaron Clement:
I really like the beginning to your clip! Overall this felt really natural... maybe a little floaty at times... I felt she should have kept eye contact right till the end instead of looking away. Bottom line... felt really natural!
Emmanuel Vergne:
i like the way she opens the door and steps forward.
i don't like the pose when she says "a fruit cake", because it seems too cliche to me and she should put her fist on her hips and not her wrist.
Why is she looking that far on her right on frame 180 ?
Myles Kerwin:
she spend more time looking at the actual cake, if she states that it is like the one from last year, I think she would spend more time examining it.
Sunny Kharbanda:
I like the subtle start as she opens the door.. then the acting gets bigger. I kinda wish it had the same level of subtlety as the start!
Taber Dunipace:
She should be examining the fruitcake in the break or looking questioningly at the man to give us the idea that she's thinking. As it is, it looks like she takes a break in the middle of the conversation.
Erik Westlund:
Well, at first I liked Mrs. Munchnick, and then suddenly I didn't. There is a strange shift in her personality from friendly and congenial to condescending (expletive replaced with 'not nice person'). Eye darts are working after "A fruitcake?". Long, soulful look to the side (frame 145-190) seems out of place. Same for the last look off in the distance at the end. Nice rhythms in head and hand movement while she speaks. Beautifully executed but the motivation of the character seems disjointed and unconvincing. Answer the questions "who am I?" and "what is my motivation?".
Frank G:
Good framing and acting. Well done.
sharad kumar:
you lost the opportunity to show his expressions!
chia:
Great and very smooth animation. Over all can play more with the eyebrow. What ya think?
cheers,
chia
Jules Nerestant:
Solid animation though some poses and gestures are a bit unoriginal.
Chris Welsby:
I like it a lot, the only thing that doesnt really read for me is the look at the end. I would expect her to be looking at him with an accusing expression. good work though!
HARISH:
lip sync looks off. it would have been better if the male character was in screen too. but , overall looks good
Cliff:
Your animation is good but you should work on your acting and posing descisions. The poses for 'Fruitcake' and 'last year' are both almost the same and neither really match the moment.
Max Herzfeld:
Good connection of emotions, but as a whole seemed pretty passive. I think it's mostly in that last look off to the side, it changes the focus and makes her thoughts unclear.
Yeray Díaz Díaz:
Nice job, the stepping out part is pretty nice. You also added some nice eye movements trying to add to the performance on the empty parts of the clip.
Still, I miss some more movement and expression, she's a little too straight and stiff on the face doesn't seem to change much from the start to the end except looking around, which does suggests thought but no emotion.
You could vary the posing some and play with the expressions to add a little more and make this a really nice piece.
Dan Harriman:
The motion is nice but I would say that she doesn't act in a way that fits the tone of the dialogue. She's disappointed but not coldly shunning.
Jonathan Paquin:
Its good, it shows the character thinking but the emotions could have been a bit stronger. You missed a great opportunity around frame 180 when we can hear the character taking a deep breath.
Kenny:
i would have given this one another star if she looked over the cake a second time before the "last year" dialog.
Mike B:
i really like this one, but perhaps she could look at the fruitcake longer before recognizing it. It seems as if she is looking at something on the ground
Brad Regier:
The beginning is especially good. Needs a little more work when she inhales before "remarkably"
Good stuff!
Anthony Travieso:
Cool stuff. Before she starts her last line she takes in a breathe. I think its something you should try to work into the animation
