Daniel Huertas:

i like it.. but i think it looks not completely finnished.

Tim Nowak:

Smooth. It looks real

Emmanuel Vergne:

i don't really understand what she's doing looking screen right and not paying attention to what he's giving her

Allier Zelaya:

Would have loved to seen the other character. Nice touch with the glasses.

Chris Sacco:

It's wierd having only one character in shown in a dialogue of two people

Taber Dunipace:

I don't understand what's happening at the beginning.

Erik Westlund:

I like the setup where she is already engaged and her attention is being redirected. Nice change in attitude after she considers the gift. Method for presenting the gift is a little distracting and awkward. Perhaps on a tray instead of thrusting forward with two stand-ins for hands/arms. Nice finish. You have created a believable and sympathetic Mrs. Munchnick character.

Sunny Kharbanda:

I like the simplicity of the piece. You've managed to give her a warm yet dignified personality using subtle actions.

Aaron Clement:

Not too bad... who was she looking too at the beginning?

Katy Lambourne:

This is really great, it's subtle and the facial expressions work really well with the dialogue - I love the glasses tilt, that worked brilliantly - you can really tell her age. Only part I didn't really like was the action that the character was doing before she sees the fruitcake - it just seemed like the action was too 'squeezed in', just to make her character do something before she speaks. Well done though!!

Jules Nerestant:

Honest performance. No glitz or fancy stuff. Though fancy stuff can do great things.

Sachin:

nice animation.....and i like concept also.....though u can work little more on expressions and also her body is little too stiff.......

sharad kumar:

good!...but is that a robot giving her the cake??

Paulo Clayton:

Great acting, my only comment is that her attention doesn't move to the fruitcake quickly enough in order to match the dialog. It's a little distracting wondering who is the other character she's talking to.

Chris Welsby:

simple but effective. nice work. The only thing that stands out for me is the bit when she says "a fruit cake". I think it would work a little better if there was a bit more time on the look at the cake before she says it. i really like the bit when she breaths in, its nice and subtle and works really well.

Kat Curry:

with a med close shot like this you might want to find a rig with some ability to make facial expressions, since this isn't a very physical shot. its nice and simple though (watch out for everything hitting the pose at all once though). i'd keep going further with it.

Senthilnathan D:

good

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

You've got some nice moves, but overall it seems to lack some expression. She barely changes the pose or the face, there are plenty of oportunities in this clip to show some thought process, if you use them it could be a nice piece.

Jay Grenier:

From about 203 onward, I really like the acting choices. Before that though I have no idea what's going on with her looking offscreen. Shots like this need to be simple and contained, I think if you had had her just looking at the guy talking or even fiddling with her hands or something the shot would improve a lot.

Dave H Shovlin:

This is really good. You need some real arms to hand it to her though.

Mark Pearce:

I loved this one! But you don't get to see the other guy! Its a real shame, because I think if you animated him as well as you have this character, you would have had a really good shot at taking out the title! In short, "You coulda been a contender!"
