Jean-Luc Delhougne:

Pretty good, the lipsynch is not very precise though it's working. Maybe a bit too "pose to pose" based, would be great to add some extra moves and overlapping.

Kent Wong:

hahahaa... really funny. nice work.

J K:

No pants? nice

Michel Giguère:

Nice animating. I really like your facial animation, A couple things made it a little hard to follow, the first guy seems to be sitting down,then he is suddenly walking without any transition, and the moving camera. The naked legs and their poses need some work.
Again I think you did great in facial expressions.

Erik Westlund:

That crawling forward move is solid. Well done. Interesting staging. Nice separation in character designs. Very readable. Weirdness of pant-less (and maybe boxer-less... *ick*) business men has a certain sick appeal but the gag just isn't working. Gesture towards 'hostage' is stiff and I'm not getting whether bupkis is supposed to mean 'nothing' or that guy tied up next to the oven. You have a weird and funny mind.

Brandon:

Fantastic!! Great expressions, great characters, great animation. The lip-sync feels a little off in the middle, but I love this one. Are these guys wearing pants?

Jonathan Wondrusch:

I love the style! Animations a bit to limited for me though, and I think the staging, especially on shot 2 could be tightened up.

Carlos Fins:

Why aren't they wearing pants? Good lipsynching and expressions.

Mike DeGar:

Why does noone have pants? lol


Good job!

M.Bell:

Some nice Flash work here… though I’m still slightly disturbed about the lack of pants on all three characters. Never the less, good job.

chrisbyk:

Nice idea. But I think it could be even better with some more strong poses

Virgil Tanasa:

lipsync doesnt seem to work fine.

Taber Dunipace:

Two things: The camera cut in the middle is super awkward, leaving the glasses guy half framed with an extremely claustrophobic shot without a good reason. Second, I don't understand why they have no pants. If it was a joke, it's lost on me, sorry.

Strong overall. I like the design and the animation medium (flash I assume?) is well utilized. Great visual feel in this final product.

wei keong:

Nice style, what's with the missing trousers?!

John T. Coomey:

I love it.. haha.. the designs and your acting choices really work nicely.. Great job... one point thought at the end it feels like the gray haired guy is growing out of the other guys back.. maybe give one of them a different coloured or shaded jacket and contrast the poses more....

I loved it though

Joseph Leung:

lol

lizzie:

ha ha ha ha :-)
nice

Marco Palmieri:

interesting style, but that isn't what this comp is about. the chaaracter designs don't allow for great animation.

Joshua:

I think you could explore better expressions for these characters.

Ezra Allen:

its a little bit worrying.
Interesting style is it 2d or 3d?

I think its abit too understated I think its ok to have the guy with the crazy quiff understated at the start. but the grey haired guy needs more energy through his cut a deal speech, and the last bit with what weve got bupkis feels too understated.
The characters hands are looking very stiif through out, maybe think about a method to get some animation on them.

Melanie Janz:

Put some trousers on next time!!!!

Phillip Johnson:

I'd like to see the fingers flow a bit with the hand motions.

And why do they have no pants? lol

doc:

where are their pants?

barak drori:

oh man, thats just beautiful. not a lot of action, but in that kind of animation, there shouldnt be.
looks like its taken from the TV.

Lisa Taylor:

Nice style, not quite sure why none of them have pants though. Good animation though so well done.

Pablo Piccione:

Exclente staging...

jeff:

good job

miles southan:

Good work! Cool, style. I think your staging is working against you in the second and third shot though. In both shots their heads are cropped weirdly (in the second one presumably to make way for that hand gesture). Also, the cut between shot one and two is a jump cut as it's just a push in of the previous shot. I would say just keep the camera where it was in the first shot and do the whole thing in two shots (cutting wide at the end to show the kidnap victim).

Brian Boswell:

Poor old Bupkus! Mostly well done. the staging feels too cramped in the middle.

gerardo castellanos:

hahaha... very funny story, great performance

Paul Vicol:

I like the style! The lip-syncing is really good! I love how the characters are non-conventional business men, and the addition of the tied up man at the end explains their situation well.
One thing though... are they wearing pants? If they are supposed to be, the color is the same as their skin, so it's misleading...
