Sergey B.:
Nice work, but i think that they could move moreь and timing toward the end too slowly
Tyson Ibele:
Hi there....this animation was a bit poor I thought. The characters are very stiff, and the acting is extremely limited and predictable. The lip sync worked well though.
Emmanuel:
The characters feel a bit stiff. Move the hips.
Aaron Clement:
Not a lot changed from the forums... It still has the same problems in there. The guy stepping in for the first time flet nice... It just needs more attention to weight and posture... I guess it's something you learn with practice. I thought overall this one had a lot of potential.
Chris Sacco:
The woman's body needs to move more as she speaks. She is just bobbing at the end. Have her act out the words, the disappointment that she's feeling.
Taber Dunipace:
The motion is very soft and floaty, a hallmark of incomplete CG animation. Try to work on your timing and inbetweens.
Erik Westlund:
Keeping characters mostly in profile removes a least half the information we can get from them in the performance. You have to stage to the camera a little more. Stretched rear leg on male character is awkward. The 'hand-off' of fruitcake isn't working. Perhaps you could leave the cake in his hands while she studies it before stating her judgment. There eyes are locked on one-another... allow the characters to look around as they consider/think/decide.
Cameron Huber:
I really like his final move as he places his head into the open palm. My only problem with this animation was there were a lot of pauses were neither character was moving, or they were moving very little. You missed a lot of opportunities to show him nervously awaiting her response.
Mat Brady:
waaay too snappy and floaty, but keep it up. Next one will be better.
HARISH:
i think could have been with more stronger poses. The guy with his hand on his hips looks bit odd. feels a little offbalance when the lady takes the first step.
Eduardo Cavalcante Komaba:
hi! i think that the movements of the head are pretty fast! it’s seems like a pop
i like a lot the last action of the guy pretty cool!!!
Imus zai:
very nicE!
Jay Grenier:
I like the acting choices but the timing needs some love. A lot of floaty linear movement.
Animator: Cuby
