James Wilson:

not bad i thought the moves between pose to pose where a bit too much/snappy for the dialouge.

Scott Douglas:

This one is nice but seems to be very overacted. To me, there's too much going on here than is called for in the audio.

Chan Ken Neth:

altho some acting are a little bit too exaggerated, but its good!

Jean-Luc Delhougne:

Nice interactions. Too bad the cam movement is not really interesting at the beginning when there is no fast action. The lip synch is a bit off sometimes. But overall the animation works pretty well.

Ryan Lowe:

excellent. small things here and there. but great overall.

Jon Houston:

annoying camera movement. Lock it off

Julianne McCartney:

Too much movement.

M.Bell:

I think the only thing that this animation could've made better use of is CONTRAST. Your Animation is great, very entertaining to watch, but the energy is way UP. You should have moments where the characters movements are more contained / downplayed, making the faster movements and gestures more punchy and appropriate because there is something else in the scene to compare it to. You could also have a level of contrast between characters even. Have one more highly-strung and jittery, while the other is laid back and casual about things. In any case, great work.

Tom Law:

I love the use of stretch and squash in this, very fun to watch.

Daniel Huertas:

nice beats on the animation overall.. but the movements are too broad and all over the place.. it looks a little overanimated for me.. nice interaction though

Virgil Tanasa:

it's a bit extreme, i think :) also, there's some spots where you should control more the slow ins and slow outs, also be careful that you have some crazy hands movements which are very confusing.
the interaction between them is a nice idea but you make it look forced, the characters don't act naturally...

Rachel B:

I like the movement in this one - the arcs look pretty clean and the poses are nice. I think that it's a little overacted, though. Making the motion a little more subtle might help this play a lot better.

Slobodan Danilovic:

just a bit overanimated in my opinion, the motion is flawless but the facial expressions are a bit too constant

Michel Giguère:

Nice and snappy, visually
appealing. Some movements are so fast that it can be hard to follow what is happening though. Very nice pose on "All the good reasons". Nice work

Ken Rice:

Love the energy of this piece but I'm just wondering if it's not just a bit too frenetic. Some poses are a bit too contorted I think especially the last one - can be hard to pic out body parts too.
Nice.

John T. Coomey:

wow great job on the physical interaction between the 2 characters..

Watch that straight arm on the screen right character at the start. it feels really uncomfortable

Patrick Chin:

Very cool to see a different style of animation for a change. Also nice what you did with the camera.

As for the acting, it's not quite clear to me what the emotions are. Also you could do with a bit more contrast between the characters. The overall energy in the scene is very nice.

Adam Shaw:

Nice effort, but to me, it feels like the left character seems a bit over done, some movements are too extreme for the dialogue.
The poses on the grab and the "Now" beat seem maybe a couple of frames late.. and a couple of poses when he grabs him feel a bit clutterd and can't understand what the right hand character is doin clearly..

sean connolly:

i like that you had these character interacting with each other. it adds a lot to the intensity.

Louis Ng:

I gave this clip a high because I think it's not easy to do both characters interacting like this.

The bald guy, when he's leaning on the table with his right hand, doesnt seem to really lean on it. Maybe because his fingers do not reflect the tension.

Howard:

Nice work! But i think the camera is moving a little too much there...

Simon Ridge:

Nice animation, but i think in places the poses are a little OTT and feel slightly uncomfortable.

Matt Garward:

There's some fun snappy animation here, but I was distracted by the wobbly moving camera. The action on the last word is strange... the hand back on "bupkis", but the animation is really good.

Romain Digonnet:

Nice.
I'd say a bit too elastic but that's a styles choice.

Sam Caudill:

great extremes and lip sync. The "with what?!" and "bupkis" seem a little rubber-bandy for the guy on the left (his head mainly)

Taber Dunipace:

I can't tell what they're thinking or trying to convey physically. Whatever the emotions were in this scene, they flew right by me because of the excessive action going on.

Chelsea Hiatt Farley:

Would have preferred less camera movement, but I enjoyed the performances.

Erik Westlund:

Quite a struggle going on here. Good management of contact and physical interaction between characters. Poses are forced and awkward. Overly exaggerated movements make struggle seem bigger than the debate in the audio.

Virgil Mihailescu:

hm, interesting. the body animation is pretty good, but I don't see much logic in the acting choices. the expressions also don't match too well the idea. I like that the fan stops gradually, hahahahaha

Mike York:

A little 2 Bouncy and Snappy

Ken Vass:

nice effort dude! i like the light effects in the fan...too much happening however, need to tone down some of the action and improve lip synch

Brian Boswell:

The movements are huge. Too huge.

James O'Neill:

There is too much motion, I would suggest simplifying motion. The faces seem plastic, I would animate more emotion.

Pete Shand:

Nice characters and good animation, some of the movement looks a little much tho and it gets lost between the frames.

Steve Brown:

I feel its slightly over animated if anything? Great work though!

Jason Smith:

Very strong piece here, nice work.

David Ruzicka:

over-reacting
