Tim Nowak:

HA! Fruitcake! I give you credit for a new approachon this animation short but needs major work on the action of all characters.

lizbeth:

funny idea. the animation is a bit stiff

Mathias Takacs:

funny!

Erik Westlund:

One character appears to be animated, the others are like props. The blue character, which is very hard to visually read has some believable movement and acting. He is actually kinda funny compared to the other two. How any of this ties the audio track to your concept is still unresolved. What gift did she give last year? A fruitcake? And by that I guess we me "flamer" in a box. I don't get it. Well... I get it... but I don't get it.

Emmanuel Vergne:

be careful with the colors you're using : you loose clarity.
Watch some poses like the last one on the lady : her hand just in front of her face... it's not clear at all
I don't understand the pose of the yellow guy when he says "yes"

Chris Sacco:

Hilarious take on the line! The characters are in need of a lot more movement though. The animation is very stiff.

Taber Dunipace:

Wow.

Diana Gueorguieva:

Heya!
Good work. However, I have some suggestions about how you can improve your scene. The first think is the color scheme. The color of the blue guy is way too intense and his movement is hard to read. The second thing is that the movement looks too robotic.
That's it. Keep trying and you'll see how much better your work will become with time.

Korvar The Fox:

At least it's different from so many of the others!

Mat Brady:

Could have been a good idea in here.... Could have.

sharad kumar:

what do u actually have in mind???...This one goes over my head!!!

Damian Isherwood:

there is a lot of room here for improvment, All your characters are very rigid, remember most movement is generated from the hips, I would suggest getting the animators survival kit (its a book) and read through it, it helps to explain arcs, timing, and just movement in general, I believe it could really help.

David Gamiño Centeno:

good idea.

Dan Dulberger:

Fun twist but animation was stiff stiff stiff stiff stiff!

ClintW:

the idea was really funny to me....

Marco Roberts:

Very stiff, and I dont 100% understand the idea.

Aaron Clement:

Interesting take. You get points for an imaginative clip.

Joe Jacob:

Great idea, but needed work.

Dan Weiland:

I like your take on the audio clip - funny concept. The animation could use quite a bit of work though - the movements are very stiff and isolated, as well as very evenly paced. I try getting your key poses, breakdowns, and in betweens keyed in there before moving to linear or splined.

Max Herzfeld:

Nice idea with the fruitcake as in terms for a person. Howerver, is he supposed to be gay- because that would be just "fruit," a "fruitcake" is usually a crazy person. Other then that the animation is very basic, work on the concepts of weight and expression. and don't block your characters faces.
good start though, keep at it.

HARISH:

u need to work a lot on this .......

G. Smith:

Hilarious!

doc:

ohhhh, fruitcake :)

Jason Smith:

Work on stronger key poses and timing, a great idea though.

Dave H Shovlin:

I'm not getting how the yellow guy is a fruitcake.

mohinder kaur:

Original take on fruit-cake even if the setting could be construded as a little x-rated! Good thing dialogue stops when it does!

Ben Hammersley:

funny idea, Its confusing trying to work out who is talking to who.

Lisa Taylor:

Different, I'll give you that, the animation feels a little wooden though, work on you're timing a bit and I think you'll be gitting there. Nice try.
