Julianne McCartney:

Haha! I enjoyed this one for the punchline and the animation. Great job!

Jose Stricklin:

Very fluid animation, and the characters interact with a good sense of life. Nice work!

Taber Dunipace:

Very well done. I would like to have seen a little movement on the chair throughout. I mean, he IS thrashing around on it.

Joe Garhan:

well done!

Jerry Zigounakis:

This is funny. The animation is very clean and great facial expressions

Ken Rice:

You've really brought the characters to life (especially the one in the wheel chair).

Great stuff

John Olson:

animation is good. just some little things i noticed. after the two guys shake hands at frame 31 the elbow seems to snap just a little. when the woman nurse is pulling the guy back in the chair you have the upper body going back all at once, have the left shoulder be pulled in and then the rest of the upper body, then the head following. also have the head settle in. i just stop, give it a little swinging back and forth. just some ideas.

Ken:

Nice, I like the dynamics between the 3 characters! I just have a couple of crits here. When the guy on the left looks at his watch, the pose you have now is not looking natural. His palm should not be facing to the back, instead it should be facing the floor. Also at the part when the guy in the middle says "I got that" his right arm looks a little floaty.

Levi:

Hey this is great! Nice concept. You were thinking about the character.

Greg M. Johnson:

I really like the laugh.

Ricardo Vicens:

Overall it needs another polish pass. The timing of the actions feel good, the shot just needs to be smoothed out a little more.

Virgil Tanasa:

i like the main character. i'm not so sure about the woman, though, and i like even less the doctor/phil... but good work!
cheers!

gerardo castellanos:

nice facial expressions!.. really funny to see

Christopher Salamat:

Pretty good. Love the left character's reaction to the laughing

Erik Westlund:

The 'Phil' or Doctor character is the most convincing performance of the three. Very convincing although the hand gesture at the end as he step in the "therapy" room is a blend of waving off and motioning in. Needs tweaking. Pats on shoulder of patient are not synchronized with audio at all. BTW: he sounds like he is on the manic or up side of manic depression... EST is for people who are severely depressed. He wouldn't be having the 'best day of his life' before going in for that treatment... perhaps it could say something on the wall like... "chemical sterilization". That would probably take him from feeling 'high' to feeling 'down.'

Juan Z.:

really good work

Senthilnathan D:

very good job..

sharad kumar:

ha ha ! its hilarios and funny!....keep up the gud work!

Max Rodriguez:

I like it. Her claps on his back are the only really distracting pieces of anim. Really good lip sync on the last couple of lines.

Jorge Zagatto:

very good characters personality development. Good animation, I really like it!

James Stevenson:

Nice - one thing, the sign could be smaller behind the chap on the left, that way, our man in the wheelchair couldn't see it and really wouldn't know where he was headed. As it is, he can see! That said, some really nice animation, I can see hard work's gone into this, a top entry.

Aaron Clement:

I liked the second half... not quite as good the first... definitly better than some of the others.

Chris de Souza:

This is really nice. The contact between the characters feels soft though. Sometimes it's ok to cheat a contact pose by letting the geometry intersect to get a better sense of interaction.
