nice job... but i think you could've pushed a little bit further your acting.. it's kinda too safe right now.. but i still like it ;)
Tim Nowak:
NICE! I like this animation. He makes such a stupid face at the end which made me laugh. But why is he so depressed? A lot of movement is good
Tyson Ibele:
Very nice :)
Ken Rice:
Liked the end expression and the contrast of heights you have for your characters.
Chris Sacco:
Nice camera angles. I love how she backs away from it as he hands it forward!
Imus zai:
excellent - i love the last expression the man's face
Taber Dunipace:
Good movement and acting choices. Just a bit bland. We need something fun or interesting to hold our attention.
Erik Westlund:
your version of Alfred looks pretty convincing in drag... but I digress. Staging of second over the shoulder shot (frames 103-161) is awkward since foreground is hard to relate what came before or after. One thing about that shot though, you have him boxed in... trapped. Final over the shoulder shot really works: we see his sadness, her conclusion, and his embarrassment. I don't think it helps have her return to her previous pose (hand on door)... needs a little more contrast. Movement is reasonably well polished, but everything seems to have this slight 'bungee-cord' like bounce on the hit of each pose.
Henning Koczy:
Nice staging. I know you want to give her something to do, but I think her poses (85 and 200) over-do it. They say "good-natured ribbing" whereas the voice says "sarcasm is my only defense against this yutz".
Mat Brady:
Very good work.
Matt Kenley:
love the final expression on the guy.
Ramit Batra:
Nice and to the point. Great !
Paulo Clayton:
I love his sudden look of realization. Excellent work!
Ian Johnston:
I enjoyed Mrs. Munchnik's performance. The pearls feel pretty stiff. It would be nice to see some secondary motion in them. Also watch the hand on the door when she touches it. It feels like there is no contact with the door, and thus the believability is lost. Having the fingers spread when she pushes on it, or move at all with that contact will help. Acting wise: I felt, in the sound clip, the guy is trying to be humble. The delivery also feels like he's trying to be quiet and sincere. The pose you chose for his opening stance didn't feel quite right with the sweeping broad gesture. The relationship between the two is really strong at the end, but feels a little off with what happens at the beginning. This kind of jostles me. Good timing when she waves her hand about and retorts the line. I also liked your timing on the reactions.
Eduardo Cavalcante Komaba:
pretty cool cameras and movements! i like it =D!
Joe Jacob:
Badass!
Ryan Brooks:
excellent work, good camera transitions and nice facial expression when it ends!
adrian sairin:
I like the acting..
Ron Toole:
I liked the facial expressions on Mrs. Munchnik, but would have liked to see more on GiftGiver, such as him looking at her askance and sort of submissively. Just some more emotion in his expression.
Dan Harriman:
Nice and simple! However I don't think the acting choices are the most appropriate for the dialogue. I like the guy's take at the end tho!
lizzie:
like his end pose!
Jason Smith:
Great final pose!
Brad Regier:
nice acting. i like his reaction @ the end.
His pose where he goes into the crook of her elbow seems a bit awkward.
Aaron Clement:
I like the guys suprised look at the end... Needs more attention to the posing here. Don't know why the lady had the door open already waiting for him. It's always better to cut to the middle of the scene... or straight to the action.
Jesse Baumgartner:
Nice poses. Everything is really clear. I might change the direction he looks when he says "yes..." so it doesn't crowd that side of the screen so much, since her arm is already there.
Lisa Taylor:
I really like the look on his face at the end. Its a nice touch, well done.
