Pretty good animation - however I felt it could have doen with a little more energy. Left character felt inconsistent: he seems to change character when he says 'now'.
Shawn Savage:
nice job
Jeffrey Dekker:
i really liked this one, you did some great stuff with the character on the right.
Gregory Marlow:
VERY NICE!!
Ryan Lowe:
cliche. better acting choices needed!
Brandon:
I think this was pretty good. The characters wear very expressive.
David Walz:
nice
Mariah:
Love how fluid this is!
Joseph Leung:
The main issue for me was that there need more body language when the voices began stronger and louder.
Virgil Tanasa:
pretty nice and clean!
the "with what, we got bupkis" sequence: you could maybe lose the first up-down movement and just leave the second one, it would be read better and would have more impact.
Patricia Ross:
This looks great, nice job! Only thing I would suggest is the screen left guy's hand movement is almost the same in shot one as in shot 2. I would think about making the second one slightly different.
Dan Dulberger:
The mood changes at "murder" and "turn ourselves in _now_" are far to quick. The extra anger should build up over atleast a few seconds.
chloé:
Good animation !
But I think that it would be a good idea to move a litle the car... Or some other thing that make us understand that the figure is driving.
Erik Westlund:
Nice riff on the car sequence in the Incredibles. Good lighting to support setup... but that's OT. Performances are good with lots of smooth transitions in movement/polish. Things have energy but are not floating. Last two parts of the exchange lack adequate energy. "...NOW while we can still cut a deal." isn't quite intense enough, nor is "With what?! We got bupkis." Both need more torso and head in the movement. You are relying on the hands too much at this point.
James O'Neill:
I like the subtle acting, the facial expressions let us know what is going on. I would suggest not cutting the camera, the establishing shot is just fine, it was disorienting for me when it cut.
Traci Plagmann:
Great job!
Russell:
Nice work!
You don't need the camera cut. Two people in a car may seem boring to some people, but the animation is so nice that you don't want to distract it with an unnecessary camera cut.
Also, the lip sync is a little off in some areas.
Great work!
barak drori:
I liked it a lot! great character, only thing missing for me, is a bit movement on the lower part of the characters, even though they are sitting, it seems as if they are glued, but all in all, very good animation!
Simon Ridge:
Really nice acting piece, not too over the top, feels very natural.
Ian Patterson:
I love the "Oh yeah, great" part!
Phillip Johnson:
- Some of the poses should be more extreme to really set them apart.
- Alot of the same speeds going through the poses.
Overall this is a solid piece.
Taber Dunipace:
Pretty good overall, but I still feel that the emotions and thinking of the characters could be more clear and more unique.
Helen Cranston:
Love Mrs Rights expression on "with what?..." Very nice
André Moreira Forni:
Nice !! Too bad u dont show much of the characters, also i miss more shoulder motion on them. But i like a lot the thinking feel they have, u translated it well !
James Jones Jr:
the driver needs to turn the wheel slightly, in stead of the being static the entire time, as well as a minor vibration in the camera or vehicle to give the illusion of moving, animations solid, good job
Mike York:
Nice Timing and holding of your poses :-)
Ken Vass:
love it, great staging/lighting/rendering....lip synch could use some work in a couple places though
Bryan Magan:
Great keeps alives
Madalynn:
Very smooth and natural. Great job!
Pete Shand:
Very nice! I can't think of anything to make it better!
gerardo castellanos:
very good performance.. strong poses! nice timing.. one of best animation this month
Virgil Mihailescu:
the animation is pretty good, but the acting doesn't make much sense to me. how should I rate this.... hmmm... not easy, not easy ;)
