i love the models! ;P i would check the timing and punch on the lipsync and also some poses were a little stiff and flat in the acting choices.. nice job though!
Jason Smith:
Awesome job, love the blue tooth!
Ken Rice:
Nice approach and some nice animation but on first viewing I wasn't aware that the man was on a phone (he is on the phone - isn't he??).
Tim Nowak:
I had to take a look at this a couple times so get the picture. i like the flow of your work.
Steve Clarke:
I like her movements at the end but found the beginning quite strange. I didnt understand why hes looking at his watch while hes talking to her. It seem so much of a grand movement that it stands out but i didnt know why. Otherwise very cool.
Aaron Clement:
Not too bad. The lip sync felt off... especially with the lady. Felt a little disjointed at times. Maybe if the lady were facing the other way would help with that.
Emmanuel Vergne:
i like the global idea, but i don't understand a few things : why does he look at his watch ? how does she know it is a fruit cake if she does not open the present ?
Noel McGinn:
I like the concept of being on the phone...nice! The guy could anticipate the "yes" sigh before it happens...makes it easier to read
Erik Westlund:
lots of nice subtle details in movement for both characters that communicate thinking and state of mind. I'm not sure what looking at watch supports but perhaps he knows what time the gift should arrive. good use of eye darts and sideways glances are adding believability to phone dialog. Change in focus and energy in Mys. Munchnick at the very end is very convincing.
Taber Dunipace:
Good animation quality and acting but I don't understand the story. This is a higher level criticism but I feel like I don't know what the character is thinking and feeling (the woman, not the man, he's fine).
Great work!
Sunny Kharbanda:
Good effort! Her facial expressions need some work though.
Cameron Huber:
Not bad man. I like the idea but there were one or two things that seemed out of joint. One - the present isn't open when she realises it's a fruit cake. I gather she knows what it is without opening it but the delivery doesn't seem to be there. Maybe you could have her pick it up, examine it for a moment and then pick up on the fact that it's the same gift.
Secondly, when she says "a fruit cake?" - her shoulder gyrates a little, when the rest of her body remains still. All in all some pretty good stuff here man, the facial animations are sweet - keep it up!
Mat Brady:
Nice way to separate the characters in the scene, although the scene actually calls for them in the same scene. Soz. Nice anim and great expressions.
Muhammad Azhari:
Need little bit correction in pose and timing :) Good job
Sachin:
nice concept......keep it up man.....
sharad kumar:

chia:

Great stuff.

Matt Kenley:
its good, but hard to tell if shes talking on the phone or to him sometimes.
Ian Johnston:
Nice premise and set up. I like how you came at this with a different creative angle. I also like the change in her facial mood when she delivers the final line and moves the phone to the other ear. I know this is probably preference, but by having him be so sad about her mentioning that it's a fruitcake, it kind of kills the energy of the scene for me and lessens the impact of the punchline. If you would have him deliver the line more like a sheepish grin / is she on to me? kind of expression, that may help strengthen the punchline a little more.
Ern:
interesting idea splitting them up. and the way mrs. munchnick shifts the phone.
cecile:
where is the cake ?
Ambuj:
Nice!! :)
HARISH:
good !!! only the lip sync is off.
deenad:
Nice, but still need to polished. Can u add more exaggeration?!!
Dave H Shovlin:
Nicely done. Good ideas here.
Yeray Díaz Díaz:
Good clip, I specially liked the woman, both poses are nice and the last hand gesture is very cool. Her eye movement is really nice, shows a lot of thought process and very natural to someone talking on the phone.
The animation is a little too tight at times, maybe adding some offset and overlapping action could take that feeling out. The lipsync is also off on some parts.
Julianne McCartney:
I liked the idea of the two being on the phone! Good, clean movements. Maybe more work on the facial expressions but overall it's a pretty good piece.
