Andrew Linke:

like the style but not sure about the staging.

Julianne McCartney:

Trippy...

Jason:

confusing.

Jose Stricklin:

While I really enjoyed the artistic style of this scene, there simply wasn't enough animation within to critique, other than the shifting of the bodies.

Taber Dunipace:

Interesting.

Ken Rice:

Nice animation style - but sorry I didn't get what was going on.

Frank G:

I like the artwork. But the stars go to animation. Put the two things together and your next entry will be a winner.

Radhika:

needs more acting

Jim Collins:

Nice to see a different style

James Parsons:

I didnt really understand what was happening here. Nice original style. Also the second male seems to steal the "Oh" from the first males last piece of dialogue, added a little bit of confusion...

Ian John White:

style is nice but animation technique is slow and floaty with no real direction

Erik Westlund:

Very interesting art direction! Unfortunately you are allowing the art direction to confuse what story you are trying to tell. Remember, artists like John Hubley didn't allow for that in their work so you shouldn't either. Why is the female character standing behind some of your silhouetted background characters? Visually confusing. The staging of arms overlapping the female character's face (frames 59-78) and parallel to rope is unnecessarily cluttered and confusing. Stretching arms and movements are 'floaty' while the ram-rod straight shapes are not helping. Characters all have a line-of-action that is straight up and down which robs life from the sequence. There is a lot of confusion caused by having the last line spoken by two different characters. "Ahh, ha-ha-ha... oh, I got that." is one line spoke by a single character, not two. To sum it up, a funky 'art style' doesn't get you off the hook of applying principles of animation. Learn the history of others how have blazed this trail decades ago.
