Ken Rice:

Nice composition and render but suffers from being a bit floaty and the movements are too linear and need moving holds.

luc:

Like it but need actions to be polished.

Tim Nowak:

To much stop go stop go thing going on here.

Erik Westlund:

Arcs, where are the arcs? Even when you haven't the time to polish your work animating along arcs can make things seem a lot less stiff. Poses are rigid and up-right. Shoulders are mostly square. Heads refrain from tilting. Hands are stiff. Prop is too big and blocks "Mrs. Munchnick" more than necessary. You have a nice, simple, and believable idea. Work on how to craft its execution.

Frank G:

Best fruitcake I've seen so far. The movement of the charcters needs some arcs. Nice layout design.

Chris Sacco:

Needs a bit more movement at part (when she is just holding the cake) and needs some in betweens ( when she is moving the box over)

Taber Dunipace:

Well I like the timing but everything is too even and linear, remember to have the characters move in arcs.

Sunny Kharbanda:

The poses are too stiff overall.. work on loosening up the spine and the lines of action.

Mason Saucier:

Try to put curves into all your movements, and the lip sync is a little poppy. I recommend Keith Lango's lip sync tutorial, it really helped me. Overall great job!

sharad kumar:

Box could've been smaller....animation looks pose to pose

Ambuj:

Missing final passes yet.

Henning Koczy:

Floaty and robotic. Smooth it out and hit some strong poses.

HARISH:

looks too linear..

Paulo Clayton:

Well done on the lip sync, but the acting & movement are quite jerky and not very realistic. Smooth these actions out and you're well on your way!

Andrew Stovesand:

good idea. Seems a bit floaty

Matthew Simkins:

In your intrepetation I think you could benefited from not showing the fruit cake and instead use the characters body language to communicate what's in the box. That way the audience is allowed to use their imagination instead of being told what to think... it makes them feel more satisfied when watching.

Traci Plagmann:

You have some nice poses in there but it feels like it moves from pose to pose right now. You've got a good solid base but now work on things not all hitting at the same time and getting some overlaps and settles in there.

Aaron Clement:

Staging and silhouette isn't a problem.... The clip is very puppet like overall, though. It was a little weighless in places... was especially noticable when the girl picked the cake out of the box.

Mike B:

good effort, but you might want to ditch the box. It seems rushed. You could be more effective focusing on her feelings instead.

David Andrade:

Add some overlap and followthrough, it feels too snappy :)

Jason Smith:

I like how she drops the cake back into the box.

Matt Hirengen:

Doesn't seem done yet. I can see some lack of movement as a purposeful strategy, but it just needs more work. Characters are stiff.

selvaraj:

good animation

Jay Grenier:

I think you could have staged things a little differently to have gotten a better silhouette on the woman, but some of your stuff works real well. More polish is needed on most of the body mechanics, and some of the timing is very even and linear. Good start, nice work.
