Hernán Bruna:

Very good, but he gets angry before that she respond him, just that, i like the lights.

Daniel Huertas:

i think the guy reacts too soon to her speech...

Tim Nowak:

Someones TEED off. I like how you did this at a diffrent approach.

Steve Clarke:

I think the first step he takes looks quite robotic and when he falls back on the chair it seems way too over the top. Also check the timing, he reacts to her comment at the end way too early. Good dynamics when he falls back, although a bit grand for such a slow toned dialogue.

Aaron Clement:

Good... almost felt a little forced at times... like it was choreorgraphed. I like the last pose the guy assumes... some nice facial expression on the guy.

Alex Fundora:

hilarious! I love the guy's attitude~ How he drops the cake and his posture when he sits is very true to his carelessness. Especially when he is standing, it looks like he could use some tweaking in the curves because he is locking frequently after small movements. great job

Erik Westlund:

Motivations are completely unsupported. Why is he even bothering if he feels so much contempt? and he gives up so quickly. Why? What is his problem? You communicate his attitude clearly but his actions and reactions simple read as arbitrary. My take is that neither of these characters are sympathetic to the audience.

Jason Smith:

He looks pissed, I love it!

Chris Sacco:

I love how bitter the guy is. That really came off well!

Taber Dunipace:

Too much happening all at once; I don't know where to look. Good acting choices and animation quality.

Sunny Kharbanda:

I like the way you set up the relationship in the middle of the animation. In the very beginning, the guy's body language could be stronger though.

Imus zai:

excellent! may be he could shake his head and then switch the tv on after she shay 'last year'?

wingscg@gmail.com:

This animation had a good act and timming, so i think that need more work in any parts of animation: when the first character giving up the cake on the table I think that act can be better, and in the end of animation in think that the act of disagreement by the first character is a lot of confuse. Whatever i really liked this work.

sharad kumar:

Take care here..his body language is like he hates her...his voice is pretty sweet.
And then ,why would he give a cake if he is so angry!!

Frank G:

The wide angle ehhances the acting and emotional separation between the characters.

Cameron Huber:

The idea is nice and is a unique approach as so far he's mostly been a bumbling, nervous character. I only had two issues with this:

1) why is the fruit cake made of gelatine? The motion of him dropping it onto a glass table would clearly break something - but the cake prevails! :S

2) I like the idea of him getting fed up but I think it's pushed in too early. You have a good chance to show two sides of the character. Instead have him politely give her the cake, clearly retaining his annoyance, then when she finally rejects it have his "YES!" allow the entrance of his "plopping onto the couch in frustration" motion.

Katy Lambourne:

Very nice! I like the angle you've take with this, something a little bit different with the male character being a bit antsy. Nice contrast between the characters as well, on that note. Her subduenss plays off his almost violent nature. The book close finishes it off nicely too.

Matt Kenley:

nice reaction and facial expressions.

Peter Carisi - de Lappe:

Nice interpretation, good blocking, needs more timing work and more secondary animation.

Marco Roberts:

nice idea, I like it

Eduardo Cavalcante Komaba:

at the speak "yes", i think that his expression is to exaggerated

Joe Jacob:

Nice idea.

Kat Curry:

like the idea, nice anim on the guy slumping into the couch. need to stage it a little better...i felt like i was looking at her when he was doing the more interesting acting. maybe try two cameras. nice work

HARISH:

could male the make a bit smooth at the start . i lik e the guy swtiching on the TV .... looks good overall

Allier Zelaya:

Nice stuff.

chia:

Nice one but he cake looks like Jely more than a cake.

Senthilnathan D:

wow nice!

Dave H Shovlin:

This is just swell. Great attitude. Good mechanics. But I might wait a bit before sitting him down.

Richie Blitz:

wow I love the direction you went with the audio clip. His attitude is clearly illustrated.

Ben Hammersley:

nice. i love the inanimate nature of the female character.
