sean connolly:

i like the contrast in character with these two. the green guys calm and matter of fact about the situation and the red guy is more nurotic. with that in mind i think the green guy hits his beats with too much force.

Mike DeGar:

ON the line "turn ourselves in NOW!" maybe you could have his fist appear to hit his palm harder and remain there for a second or two longer, to give it more of an emphasis. Good job.

David Walz:

good effort
but where's the orginality? it's just two people talking

Joseph Leung:

When the character speaks, he shouldn't have his back facing the camera unless it is absolutely necessary.

Dan Dulberger:

Some timing and weight issues. Both move too fast and effortlessly, even the punch was abit lame.

Sarah North:

Shame about the camera angle

Slobodan Danilovic:

overanimated

Russell:

Too much hand movement. Don't overact the characters appendages unless its a part of their personality.

Watch out of Ik hands leading the arm. Your elbow leads your hands to where they are going.

Stage your characters so you can see their faces for the majority of the piece. If you animate it, show it off! Don't hide it by having the character turned around.

Erik Westlund:

The poses in the very beginning are natural and believable. Arms are animated much more than the rest of the characters. Some extra movement is sneaking into your poses for the screen left character (blue); he is wobbling back and forth on his feet a little. Too much software splines in movement; some of your acting choices are getting overwhelmed by the software's attempt to inbetween.

Bill:

I'm sure I won't be the first to say this, but I think turning the guy in the red shirt toward the camera a bit would improve his readability a great deal, with little extra effort.

Phillip Johnson:

- Too many big arm moves with the arms twinning each other.

Taber Dunipace:

Need better facial expressions and body language to understand what each character is thinking and feeling.

Avner Engel:

Nice start you have got there, I would look into pushing your moving holds on some of the poses. it seems like they are just tween from one pose to another.

Mark Kennedy:

Nice staging, but the red dude turns away from the camera too much in the second half of the anim. He needs to be angled more so that you can see his face.

David Humphreys:

watch you twinning going on, good texture to it all, a little jerky in places

Micah Betts:

Pretty good, I think the fist pound for "now" at 192 should be different, also the character loses eye contact at that point.
