Ken Rice:
Nice animation - though to me the end didn't feel right somehow. Either the gesture is too violent or I kind of expected the chair to be pushed towards the other character. Or maybe the chair breaking was just too extreme. Very good
Jean-Luc Delhougne:
Cool animation ;) Maybe their back bendings are too strong.. Nice overlapping in this one...
Scott Douglas:
Animation is well-executed, but the acting choices seem way over the top.
Nate Dorn:
interesting animation style. The bodies seem very slinky like. would like to see some more expression in the front character in the first shot.
Ryan Lowe:
slightly floaty. some movements 'drag' to long. lip synch needs work. good acting choices. shaking the chair was great.
Sandy Sze:
Over acting. Acting choices are not strong enough. Maybe tune down some of your poses and adjust your timing so the character is not moving all the time. good work
Daniel Huertas:
you got some weird poses there.. try to act it out and you will see how easy is to get into the breakdowns and dynamic poses for acting :) keep it up
Emmanuel:
I know he pushes the chair at the end (which is good), but as to my suggestion, the chair shouldn't fall apart.
Christopher Salamat:
Animation is done well, but you break the 180 degree plane pretty badly, making it very confusing for the viewer to figure out who's who, most noticeably on the angle on frame 116 & 269. Check this out on the 180 degree rule:

wei keong:
The turning around of the guy in blue shirt: his arm seems to be twisting a lot.. Pull his elbow a bit backwards?
Koty Juliano:
more holds.
Russell:
The arm clips through the chair at the beginning, which is distracting.
The lip sync is set to every syllable. Lips move that fast. You have to tone it down, accent the PMB shapes and the jaw open/close. Be minimal and it won't be distracting.
Erik Westlund:
Are they drunk? Their movements careen around the screen and overshoot as if somewhat out of control. The breaking chair at the end isn't doing anything for the performance. Your poses have interesting shapes, such as the last one but how you get into and out of these poses is making everything seem out of control. Its as if everything has been exaggerated the same amount from beginning to end. You have to be selective and choose areas of focus.
James O'Neill:
There is some good acting, but some parts that need a bit more anticipation.
JD van der Merwe:
They float around a bit. It seems like they don't have backbones and flop around gelatinously. More subtlety and more real-life reference would help.
Adrian Baluta:
In some parts the overlap is to much,but overall good impression of what you did,be carefull with exageration,some animators do less,and you did to much.
Romain Digonnet:
Very weird movement when he grabs the phone.
the rest of the animation is nice, I like the entering of the first caracter.
Lipsinc could be a little better.
Ezra Allen:
nice animation maybe a bit over the top with the drama.
Richard Clark:
Acting choices a little too over the top in places.
Taber Dunipace:
These characters seem kind of drunk to me. Their posture and facial expression look inattentive and sleepy.
barak drori:
oh, I like this one. maybe in the begining I would give a bit more action on the side of the guy sitting, but its great.
Lisa Taylor:
I think the characters seem to be bent over a little too much of the time. Its good in places but then you need to stand them up again to provide contrast. Great effort though.
Brian Boswell:
The action is too over-the-top for the audio, but mostly well done.
Winnie . S:
The eyeballs of the man on the right, they look kinda out of place in the beginning.
Alonso Soriano:
a little too floppy in the torso poses that aren't called for with the dialogue
Paul Vicol:
I love how the guy enters through the door!
And the smashing of the chair is really dramatic stuff!
But it looked a bit too easy for the blue character to smash it...
Like it was made out of paper
