Jamie:

nice gag

Sean Coleman:

Youve got some very nice things going on here! I like the idea of the halo always trailing behind. A few areas where that needs some attention though.

I think his arms should come down a little faster during the bupkiss line. He holds them up there for too long before he realizes hes done something. Maybe have him realize he hit the other character sooner or have his arms move down immediately after the swipe.

Kent Wong:

THis is so great! I love it! Great job!

James Wilson:

cool idea

Koty Juliano:

smaller guy still seems to be keyed in main poses.

Scott Douglas:

great stuff!

M.Bell:

Nice idea for the dialogue, and nice gag for the ending. Good job!

dan alvarez:

Very nice 2d. Nice and smooth, and I can feel some emotion coming through.

A few nitpick tweaks.

"Oh yeah, great.."
The "Oh" should have another frame or two, in either a hold or with an anticipation. It will punch out a lot more.

"Now that we're accessories..."
This line has too much jaw flapping. "Now that' we're..." has 3 jaw flaps, were you can get away with 2, and it won't seem so busy. In that section I would try varying the amount of jaw opening per word. Right now they seem to be all the same open size.

Finally, "bupkiss":
He hits the angel.

I don't feel the impact. You have a contact frame, and then the hand is off screen, while the angel still has his legs there.
You really want to feel more impact if this hit is going to be killing him.
Perhaps by having the impact start lower on the screen you could have two frames to really stress the force of the arm movement!

Just nit picking, stiil a great piece!

Jon Houston:

Very good concept, nice secondary action with the halo.

Jean-Luc Delhougne:

Some nice 2d animation here ;) With a bit more work on the inbetweens and some bug fixes, it will be great !

Victor Wong:

I like the follow-through action you've got going!

Paulo Cesar Biajante:

Great man! i love this...

Cuby:

This is fantastic! The idea is excellent, and the animation is really good! I'm not sure I like the way he looks around suspiciously after hitting the angle guy, but other than that great stuff! Keep it up and good luck.

Daniel Huertas:

I really liked it! :D even if it looks very basic almost a blue print... it has all the elements of a finished animation... i liked how you applied the S&S and your 'zip" inbetweens!

awsome job! :D

Ryan Lowe:

great motion. lip sync and polish are lacking.

James O'Neill:

I think the animation is snappy, I like it. Watch out for twinning though, that is a bit distracting. I like the concept. Towards the end though I feel it is a bit unclear. Think to just simplify the action/story/gag. 11 seconds is not that much time. Great job.

Rachel B:

Ha! I love this concept, and I love seeing hand-drawn stuff. Some nice acting in there along with the smooth movement. Great work.

wei keong:

Cute!

Virgil Tanasa:

haha, very good! one of the nicest so far!

Michel Giguère:

That is great and very funny. Maybe the little angel could use some more animation, since he stops moving completely in some parts, but that's detail, the overall result works really well.

lizzie:

tee hee
love it
really nice animation, especially the secondary motion on the halo

Russell:

I think some of the poses could have been pushed a little farther to avoid twinning.

The volume on the angel character has inconsistencies throughout the piece. The form seems flat, also.

Nice work!

Joshua:

This is well animated and has a wonderful concept! Well done.

Anandaroop Mukherjee:

funny!!!

Lisa Taylor:

Really nice idea and good animation, well done

Erik Westlund:

Wow, a pitchfork to the butt is lethal, I wouldn't have guessed... a fun riff on an old concept used so much in the past. The poses for your angel character are a bit static after being hit... probably a lot of additional work getting the wings to keep flapping. Several poses for both characters involve both hands doing the same thing. Things work better when you design asymmetry into your posing. Nice, big, zippy actions separated by more subtle changes keep things interesting.

Romain Digonnet:

Great idea and great animation.
I think it's not supposed to be that long after the sound file, but hell, it was worth it :D

Helen Cranston:

Great concept!

Taber Dunipace:

Awesome. Lots of fun to watch, great fundamentals. "Murder" and "Bupkiss" seem a bit forced physically, but the rest is gold.

Avner Engel:

hehehehehe LOL

Daniel Harris:

Cool dude, nice work! Love your arcs especially. I think the facial expression when he says "murder" doesn't quite match the dialogue. He almost looks a little aloof when it's quite an intense moment!

Keep up the good work :-)

David Trudel:

funny! good idea :-) and nice work on animation.

Mike York:

I like this one :-0 You really kept all of the principles in mind on this animation. VERY GOOD..

Ken Vass:

awesome work dude

jonathan fontaine:

lol

barak drori:

great!

Jason Smith:

I love when he looks around for the angel. Nice job.

Jorge Zagatto:

hahaha very clever!!
