Great facial expressions!! Lip sync could use some work. Great job.
Daniel Huertas:
i think you needed some close ups... that would have improved your staging..
Tim Nowak:
I think the lip sync needs work. Mrs. Munchnik didnt even show any emotion when she knew it was the same cake from last year.
Tyson Ibele:
Hehe...I liked the male character's expressions towards the end. The body motions were a bit robot, and the lip sync seemed off....but this was a fine effort nonetheless.
Aaron Clement:
Good... the first move in by the guy feel a little fast. Felt a little stiff with the movements... good staging.
Erik Westlund:
He is over-the-top in the beginning. Too big, too animated for what is going on. Reactions are given time to play out... thank you. His sense of defeat immediately after the handing of the gift is funny because you set it up properly. He needs to react when cake is dumped. Staging/placement of trash can is a little too "convenient".
Johan Fruh:
I liked the expressions of the guy a lot :). Especially after the "yes" hehe.
Good work!
His starting expression might be a bit too tense though. A guy gave me a fruitcake with that expression, I'd think he was poisoning me ;).
I found the lady's sigh/eyerolling, when she recieves the cake, a bit odd.
Maybe she looks up too high. And a shoulder movement to show some deep inhale would be nice for a sigh.
Chris Sacco:
The plate lacks weight as it is being handed around.
Taber Dunipace:
Try to pose your characters a bit more naturally; film yourself for reference.
BIG plus points for the hilarious "my gift is lame" face in the middle.
sharad kumar:
when she turns around,u need to cusion in more.I think alfred is bending down lil fast.......overall u need to smoothen out your animation...keep it up!
Andrew Stovesand:
good facial animation. Sometimes the gestures seem a bit stiff.
Dan Harriman:
Moving holds needed. The whole thing would have so much more life if these were added! Good acting choices. I like the guys performance.
HARISH:
nice
Ian Johnston:
I'd be careful with loosing the connection between the two during conversation. When he looks away and down, I felt dropped out of the scene and my focus wasn't on her. If you keep him focused on who he's talking to, it will help. When in conversation, we often wait to hear what the other person says before we react, not before or during.
deenad:
Need some anticipation for both the chars. good effort!
