Mike York:

Nice finish. Ive been watching your progress in the forum and this has come along way.

Eric Huang:

I'm so sick of watching my own animation :)

Jason:

hahah, very nice expressions. the composition works, but could use a little rethinking. the lip sync is great!

Taber Dunipace:

Seems pretty well put together and I like the character attitudes. The little worried antic in the middle is a nice touch.

Ken Rice:

Pretty good animation here - however I think the left-hand character is killing it - he's very stiff and you're very aware of his back facing you.

Tyson Ibele:

Great work! ...lip sync seemed off for most of it though.

Elisa:

My only critique is oh the guy in the front(grey). that doesn't have much reaction to the scene.
He seems kinda off the scene there since you can't see his lips moving.
Most of times it's better not to put the character with it's backs turned to the audience.

John Olson:

good start, but needs work. i would add in stronger poses, exaggerate the action.

Ken:

I like the idea here. Just a couple of crits with regards to the animation. The part when he said "Where're we going", I think his action is too big. It gives me the impression that he's deliberately shaking off the girl's arm which I don't think is the idea you're protraying here. Also the part where he says "Oh I got that", I feel it'll look better with bigger action.

Alexandar Ivanchev:

It looks very nice... Just Phil is a bit stiff especially when the blue guy puts his hand on his shoulder.

Ambuj:

wow! I remember this from WIP thread. Nice!

Aaron Jonas:

nice work

Daniel Luke:

Strong acting from Blue and Red. Red reacting to Blue pulling his arm away is incredibly convincing. I would've liked to see more movement from Phil though. He just seems a bit stiff though the whole thing.

Henning Koczy:

That laugh calls out for exaggeration. This one's solid, very solid, but also rather boring.

Beth:

Need to work abit on the lip sync

Erik Westlund:

Nice arc on the reversal that happens of the first line ending in "life." Needs just a little more weight when he presses on Phil's shoulder. That started look on "where are we going?" is very good. You convinced me that he isn't just eager but actually kind of paranoid. Nice rhythms hand pats and on the laughing for all characters. Facial animation need just a little more punch on some consonants, such as "F" sound in "Phil" and B sound in "best". Nice work although the concept is kind of generic.

Mauro Alemanno:

good work...more natural!

Sam Caudill:

good use of subtle expression!

Chris Woods:

Nice movement throughout but there seem to be no story points behind any of it.

Max Rodriguez:

Work on the lip sync for the blue guy

Chris de Souza:

Very nice subtle movements and gestures here. Great work, and interesting staging too.

Ron Price:

I really like the mechanics on his lean in towards Phil...
