J K:

Great idea with the car... but the characters are a smidge static.

Scott Douglas:

The animation seems very stiff. Their heads don't rotate up and down at all.
The poses are not very strong and they did a strange sort-of mirror pose on "murder" that I found disconcerting.

Nate Dorn:

pretty humorous. good job with making them look concerned

Brandon:

Pretty good! These guys made me smile :) .. Their movements seem a bit limited though.

Ryan Lowe:

subtle different. love the "cars" plug. haha. animation needs tightened. and stronger silouhetes.

Erik Westlund:

Too much consistency between characters. Its like they are the same character talking into a mirror (someone else's submission). You need two different characters. Same rig. Different performances. This problem hits its peak on frame 180 "...murder!"; both characters bend forward at the same time and to the same amount. They both land on the same pose with only the slightest variance. Very little being done with the face and eyes. Blinks are much too fast. Pose on "cut at deal." is hackneyed, overused, and predictable.

James O'Neill:

Watch out for twinning, and I was distracted by the characters moving the characters into the same pose at the same time.

Ken Rice:

Not a bad animation - a little too much pantomime for my taste. And sorry, the two characters gesturing on the word 'murder' just didn't look right to me.
Good stuff

E. Cooman:

Nice!

Marco Palmieri:

heads are lifeless. move the eyes a bit. the heads could move more too. don't worry so much about lighting. get the animation right first!

Dan Dulberger:

Not bad. I thought the "murder" pose was struck too quick, stuck for too long and was dissolved too quickly aswell. The necks and really the whole upper body are too stiff. Just alittle bit goes along way there.

Joshua:

the characters are rather expressionless, push that further.

Russell:

Look out for symmetrical poses (when they say "Murder"). Give them more secondary motion and offset to loosen them up.

The whole thing is a little flat. Adding some exaggerated poses or transitions could help the flat tempo.

Chris Brock:

the face doesn't read very well with the reaction that the lips and hand give

Phillip Johnson:

They both lunge forward at the same time, it really needs to be offset.

Chelsea Hiatt Farley:

Nice performances. Try to avoid the twinning on the line "murder" with both characters moving in to the same pose.
