Zainab Siddiqui:

The premise is really good!

Shawn Savage:

thats awesome

J K:

Very Cool

Chan Ken Neth:

this is great! the only flaw is the lipsync, it just a little bit off. great story and idea!

Ken Rice:

nice animation - can't help thinking it would be better if the middle character was smaller than the other two.

Daniel Harris:

Cool idea! I would be a little careful of where you want your focus though, often the focus was fighting between more than one point!

Nate Dorn:

not feeling the "great" part. Interesting design choice though. Funny expressions from the third dude.

Brandon:

I love this entire concept. The characters are fluid with strong poses. I really like this one 10 from me!

dan alvarez:

Pretty good effort for this entry.
For improvements, I would say your overall choices for posing can be better. Throughout this piece, all the characters are quite.. "upright and stiff".

Also, when the angel says "now" his pupils get bigger, it just seems rather distracting, and takes away from the shot.

Finally, with the Bupkiss line at the end, I don't feel enough emotion out of the devil. It's as if you're just going through the motions, rather than infusing some passion into the mvoement. (yes I know this is getting vague! I hope what I'm saying is clear). Good effort overall.

Mariah:

Nice idea!

sarah anne:

oh very original!

Andy Cunial:

Very creative interpretation of the audio clip. very entertaining

wei keong:

Good idea with the angel and devil!

James O'Neill:

The camera cuts I feel are unnecessary, I would suggest sticking with just the first shot. I would like to see a little more overlap in and out of the held poses. Also don't think the lip sync is very successful, it feels too exaggerated, animate less syllables, it will simplify it.

Russell:

The body slide against the wall should have some hand offset. Hands move after the torso.

I dont think cutting on the anticipation pose was a good idea. It takes away from dynamic anticipation.

Good job!

Erik Westlund:

Hey! I know this one. Still needs a little more sparkle and pop of energy in the movement. New observation: hands on wall are moving in unison with CG of central character. They should drag on the surface a little behind his moves... especially the fingers. Sorry I didn't catch that one earlier. As stated before, strive for more unique qualities of the shapes in your posing.

sharad kumar:

good work!..grrt concept.

Anandaroop Mukherjee:

Ya , idea is good, love the sarcasm , the lip sync is a bit off

Mathias AUBRY:

really good idea!

Bill:

Clever idea. Great use of the can-drop sound effect.

Joan Delmont:

Good idea ! There are lots of small animation problems...

Taber Dunipace:

I don't really see any ease in or out. Remember to "cushion" the character's movement to make it look more natural.

Christopher Salamat:

Very nice posing and idea. Some of the lip syncing seems a little off, but not too bit. Middle character is animated well, doesn't take away from the other characters. Good job

Traci Plagmann:

Nice story idea. I really like the snappy gestures on the devil character too.

Andrew Linke:

great concept i liked the story idea and the cuts worked well too.

André Moreira Forni:

I like the idea a lot ! And your animation has great acting like the final shot of the devil, but i think in overall your body is too stiff, but overall good work !

Chelsea Hiatt Farley:

Love the idea! Kudos for animating 3 characters when there were only 2 voices. Nice job with the squash and stretch.

Mike York:

He Av this came out GOod !

Ken Vass:

great concept man! i love it...end pose needs work though, didnt really settle

pep:

squash and stretch is good, the evil character 's left hand was alittle unnatural.Great Idea

gerardo castellanos:

hahaha.. nice performance.
very good use of MooM

David Ruzicka:

lips don't match
