Brandon:

I thought this was really good up until the last 3 seconds, and then the snarled lip threw me off.

Paulo Cesar Biajante:

Great staging man!

Mariah:

Nice colors and nice emotions! That one finger point has so much stretch though that it distracts me.

Ryan Lowe:

lip sync is extremely off. watch the dialogue pacing.

Jonathan Wondrusch:

lip sync on Generi looks really funky. I like the walk back towards him in the 2nd to last shot.

Taber Dunipace:

Seems like some strange things are happening with their gestures but I like the acting and poses you've chosen. Overall strong.

Virgil Tanasa:

the lipsync is not really working at all...other than that, a bit floaty, you could use more snap in the movements. the red guy has very stiff poses, most of them are straight and there's no arcs involved...
good luck!

Michel Giguère:

Good ambience, believable actors. The red guy could have stronger poses with his first sentence, and he makes a move with his left leg that is unnecessary IMO before speaking. I like what you have done with the green guy, except the overly exagerated finger stretch. Great work, I enjoyed.

Joseph Leung:

The lip sync had issues, especially in the second half of this clip.

Erik Westlund:

Face shape on the last few frames does not match the dialog. Sneer ends up looking like a lip problem. You have reversals but I think this could benefit from a lot more change of direction in line of action for both characters. Gesture of clenched fist on "cut a deal" is hidden inside the silhouette of character.

Koty Juliano:

red guy's lips freaks me out.

Russell:

Squash and stretch on the fingers is too much. Most of the time squash and stretch doesn't work well in cg. It has to be super subtle and consistent.

The lips move way too fast. If you mute the audio, you will see that the mouth flicks around too quickly.


sharad kumar:

good!..i think u can remove the stretch from the finger.

Ezra Allen:

On the green guy the lipsynch is a bit out on "now while we can still cut a deal" aslo "reason" is a bit late its most obviously late on "now" your missing your B on "bupkis"

like the cameras nice staging.
when the red guy kicks the stone watch your body mechanics, weight should go to right foot, maybe raise up a bit then kick through. at the moment his weight is still over the right kicking leg, he would fall over.

Romain Digonnet:

Overall good animation.
I'm not too sure about the walk of the green guy (the body doesn't seem the twist right).
And I don't like what's happening with the red guy's top lip.

Sam Caudill:

Good lip-sync

Alonso Soriano:

greens little hand flex around 90 should have been the keep alive at 60, it's distracting where it is
Otto's face doesn't seem super emotive, Generi's face pose is a little too far at the end

Phillip Johnson:

Red guys mouth seems to be crashing badly.

jeff karagianis:

this is really nice, the animation is really quite subtle, lip syncing is cool just a pity about the mouth shapes in your last shot with the red guy

Elisa:

at frame 218, when he says 'now', I think it would be better for him to be pointing to the ground rather than pointing to the other character.
besides that, the reactions look fine

James O'Neill:

Some poses are a bit unclear. The lip sync is not on, try to just hit the main syllables, not every one.
