J K:

Very good

Ken Rice:

Nice detailed animation.

Maria Chia:

great staging. I don't have anything bad to say about it really

Ryan Lowe:

voices provide more overall character, than your animation is portraying. the beats at the start aren't really necessary.

Jean-Luc Delhougne:

Not bad overall. Some poses are a bit weak, and some too exagerated. Some refining and it will be great !

Erik Westlund:

The more intimate shots are much stronger than the rest. Poses, gestures, and standing-up move on "Oh ya, great... " are wonderful. The foot stop on "...ourselves in NOW..." is awkward and unconvincing. Pose on "...cut at deal." looks more like a martial arts move than as part of a conversation.

Daniel Harris:

Excellent work man! Great poses and nice timing! If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to have a broad fading movement on "deal" instead of the snappy choice you made. It would match the dialogue better and give a bit of variety as many of your accents have similar timing.

M.Bell:

Very Nice work, especially the focus on your character animation instead of rendering elaborate props or scenery.

Mariah:

I like the smooth grand movements and facial emotions! Even though you took extra time at the beginning, it seems to be time well spent!

Joseph Leung:

I liked some of the body language/acting but improving your lip sync would have added more to this piece.

sarah anne:

nice camera angles

Daniel Huertas:

i would make another pass on your lipsync.. but very nice overall :D i like the composition

Taber Dunipace:

The only strange thing is the face of the second guy saying "Bupkiss." It looks like he's happy about it which is really odd to me. Other than that really strong piece, great job!

Virgil Tanasa:

pretty good, my only comments is that some poses could be made stronger if you would push them further, having stronger lines of action. and try keeping an eye on the silhouettes, it will help us to read the poses better and make your animation more expressive.

Michel Giguère:

Good animating and believable facial expressions. I like when the guy stands up, very well done. The only thing that does not work well for me is the balance and leg movement on "now". Good clip.

John T. Coomey:

good job.. just one thing.. I feel the foot stomp was abit too much and just didn't feel right

Adam Clark:

pretty good stuff, good staging maybe a little too much camera movement for such a short scene

Rusty Gray:

Nice! I like the timing all the way through, especially the pause in the beginning before the dialogue. It allows the audience to access whats going on, and identify wear each characters thoughts are at. The lip sync close up feels great, the taping of the dead characters head really adds some humor to the situation and greatly accentuates where the kneeling character is about to come from.
Other than that no crit here!

Russell:

Watch out for thumb continuity! Unless the character is a zombie, its not going to move its thumb after its dead.... :)

Nice work! Very entertaining!

Traci Plagmann:

Nice job. I like this a lot. The timing and spacing are really nice. I like the gestures a lot in here too - especially the head gesture on 'murder'.

Dane Winn:

awesome

Ezra Allen:

Nice animation.

bit over the top when he says "now"

Romain Digonnet:

Very good animation.
I like the animation of him getting up, very good weight there.
I'm not too fond of the "now" with the leg.

Jake Ross:

should keep character one on left and character two on right side of the screen for each cut.

Sam Caudill:

great movement! The weight was really believable. My only critique would be to try and make the pose for "Now!" a little stronger. His shoulders seem pretty square on that pose, but it still looks great! Best I've seen so far!

riyaz R:

super dude...............!

Lisa Taylor:

Really nice work, well done.

Steve Brown:

Very nice, I like the editing and some nice subtle animation.. Great work!

André Moreira Forni:

Nice i like it a lot ! My only coimment would be that the third shot, frame 170 he is already looking to him, i would make him turn to talk to him.

jonas bech:

the start is so funny

Natascha Evans:

Everything is looking pretty sweet. the only problem for me is the clarity of the pose at Frame 304 when he says " now " and cut a deal"
The pose at 304 is in front of his leg and is being cut off by camera. and the next pose is just not clear. Fix those and your good as gold!

Mike York:

Best 1 I think I have scene soo far NICE WORK your acting choices work really well with this audio

padraig post:

Great Work.

Brian Boswell:

The movement at "turn ourselves in now..." seems too big. I would hold the gesture at "bupkus" a little longer. Very well done!

sushant:

need to cut on the space before the beginning of speech.....it seems rather strange, the guy who is checking the body....turns his head and stops, rather waits for the other guy... to say ,...
