Jean-Luc Delhougne:

Classic idea but nicely executed. Some nice subtle touches and arcs here...Some refining would be great to have more precision, when he points his finger onto the table for instance...

Michel Giguère:

Pretty good animating. I like the pose on "all the good reasons".
I like your idea of a single character, but I would have preferred a side move between the changes and have them(him)look towards the center where the other was a moment before, ins tead of looking outside the scene.

Nate Dorn:

great idea. Timing gets off a bit around the "deal" part.

Ryan Lowe:

great acting choices. cliche with the hand slap, etc. but great none the less. good facial expression. some timing could be better.

Emmanuel:

Two characters on this animatic could've been better, but what you have now, works.

Mariah:

Cute idea.

James O'Neill:

There is some good overlap, and some lip sync that works, but overall it is fairly awkward. The finger point when hitting the desk does not sell, and the inter-penetration of his hand at various points takes me out of the scene.

The lip sync is a little too exaggerated, I would close his mouth more. Also, try not to hit every syllable, just hit the ones that count.

The idea is a bit unclear, I don't understand the significance of the phone.

Joseph Leung:

Hmm... I see what you were going for, and it was funny. I think if you did something to empasize the switch in personality, like having him on more of the left side of the screen, and then zipping over to the right side of the screen when switching to the other person, it would have been more effective.

Jonathan Wondrusch:

While the animation is ok, I think the idea doesn't feel well supported by it.

Virgil Tanasa:

interesting idea, but somehow the change of personalities seem to confuse me, in the beggining the guy that says: "oh yeah great" is on our right side and at the end he's on the left side... for me it's slightly confusing.
you could have put more energy in each of the personalities and make them more different so it looks like something is indeed different in his inner indecision.
but i like what you've done here, nice work :)

Ken Rice:

Pretty good animation - I feel the mouth is moving too much in places though - should look smoother.

Taber Dunipace:

The first switch was GREAT. I could really feel the difference in posture and attitude. After that, when the conversation was a bit more heated, I was less able to tell the difference because they were both gesticulating openly.

sean connolly:

the character shifts are really clear. nice job.

lizzie:

like the idea, but needs a bit more expression to define the 2characters it is flitting between

Russell:

Nice acting choices. He is animated and lively. The Ik arms seem to come through a little rough at times, but it works for most of the piece. The lip sync seems poppy. Too much action on every syllable.

Also, watch out for clipping objects. The phone pick up is a little awkward.

Dan Dulberger:

Would've been even better with 2 characters.

Erik Westlund:

Very nice use of Blokes facial capabilities. Nice work with eyes to enhance the facial poses and show thought. Finger pointing down on table is forced, as is hand chopping on "cut a deal." Character poses don't yet have the impact and authenticity of your facial work.

Nolan:

You have some great poses, timing is a little static, and the lip sync could be toned down a bit. Solid.

Kevin:

would have been more interesting with two characters
great facial animation

Joan Delmont:

Good things... ouch ! the finger on the table. I would have liked two characters.

RJay Bengelink:

I like the split personality angle.

pep:

Great idea to use one character, do pay attention on the penetration of the right hand throught the desk.

Andrew Shipp:

Good actions, they flow into each other smoothly. I think there should be a little more of a difference in the personalities, because it's hard to tell when the switch is made until the next dialog line comes in. It may be that the audio doesn't allow time for a good transition of personality.

Pete Shand:

Great concept and animation, my only qualm would be when he puts his finger down, doesn't quite stick

Paul Vicol:

Haha!
Split personalities huh?
I like it!
I just think that in the beginning, the "two" characters could be turning more towards each other each time they argue.
Like a bit more exaggerated!
Nice idea!
