J K:

Lots of wierd motion.. keep going!

Maria Chia:

Good in betweens. the gestures look a bit awkward. nice and simple staging.

Jean-Luc Delhougne:

Hehe.. Nice idea... That audition thing would surely work every month ;)
Animation is not bad.. A bit snappy at times though.

David Walz:

thats a good way to put it!

Mariah:

I like the way Sergio seems so unsure. But Sam seems a little off. That arm not holding the paper seems very obviously FK. Could be loosened up a lot.

Andy Wakeley:

Well, I laughed at the big guy constantly anxious about his stage abilities, that was really nice. I think the poses and the movement between them, however seem a little arbitrary at times, sometimes floaty. I'd keep at it though, this could be a really cool piece :)

Ceno:

coll they r bad act

Koty Juliano:

both guys legs stay static the whole time, that last head movement doesnt work. pretty good, good idea.

Joseph Leung:

Hehe, an audition? Thought that was creative. I thought that you could have the characters reading from their clipboards and then matching the voice with body language.

sean connolly:

That big guys body language and expressions are very funny. nice job.

sharad kumar:

good concept!..keep it up!..need to improve on the animation a bit...jus smooth it out ...

Russell:

I love the shirt on the character on the left. That isn't his stock texture is it?

Sergio seems a little over animated. I like the audition idea and I think you pulled it off nicely. Perhaps a black x on the ground to show where the characters are supposed to stand?

Sam's fk is a little stiff in places.

Good work!

Did you film reference footage of yourself acting this out?

barak drori:

nice

Adrian Baluta:

The acting is poor and not in his place,you should folow the dialog and concentrate on the acting strong poses.

Romain Digonnet:

I like the last action of the left guy (checking out the director).
Too many movements for the left guy at the beginning, and the right guy seems very stiff.

Sam Caudill:

their hips seem a little awkward.

Phillip Johnson:

- A few too many looks at the camera.
- Necks and backs are very still.
- I don't understand the movement on the right guys part "cut a deal" it's an odd hand movement.

Taber Dunipace:

I see what you're trying to do with the acting and it is funny, but some of those movements are really difficult to decipher. I'm not sure what your characters are thinking most of the time.

Erik Westlund:

Are they auditioning or is this the first dry run? Auditioning. Funny concept, their just reading their parts. Screen left character is gyrating quite a lot and screen left character seems to have different parts moving this way and that causing him to bend oddly. As paranoid as they are about performing adequately don't think either landed a role. Interesting approach to the audio.

Mark Kennedy:

It looks like you have a clipping problem with the clip boards. It is very distracting and makes it hard to judge your animation properly.

Pablo Piccione:

Excelent work! good idea!...Nice movementes, and breakdowns!...I Like how they look for aprovement from director

jeff:

new idea & good job

Ken Vass:

great job...watch the guy on the rights arm (that isnt holding the pad)...seems a little stiff

Brian Boswell:

Great premise! But the characters both feel off balance, and seem to move without motivation. The awkward glances to the "director" do not translate well until the end frames.
