Mike York:

I really liked how this started and then it went down hill after frame 80 or so. It seems like you lost interest in making the finish strong. Great Idea though I like your staging and acting choices on this one.

Marshall:

Great staging! Could have pushed the acting a little bit.

Ken Rice:

Nice at the start but when the character turns it looks unnatural to me. I think the background interferes with the middle chap’s silhouette .

Taber Dunipace:

Oh dear... mine. *groan*

Elisa:

nice reactions, although the female voice could be represented by a female character.
But it's good notheless :)

elizabeth:

the intro reaction was good. well, it went down hill from there.

Victor Wong:

I'm not sure about the extra camera angles, but apart from that it works out pretty well.

Elliott Gibson II:

nice setup...I would kill the camera moves though

Ellen Erikson:

The 2 secondary characters seams a bit floaty from the point where they turn around and walk away. Try to move the pelvis up and down, and sideways to show some weight.

Richard Bannister:

Nice camera work.. this tells the story very well and you did better than most of the people here to show a good representation of the sound track with a sensicle story.

Animation needs a bit of work in being less extreme in some actions - like pull down after the shoulder slap and towards the end of the piece the couple need a little more contrast in there motion as the womans face is a little scary in the held pose. But I really like the transition of the guy being left on his own, it works really well. It could have been better not to move the camera after they passed but while they passed by, thus hiding its computery transition but the idea itself is great.

Good luck.

Eric Scheur:

Really nice use of staging here! The first shot is very clear, and I love the way the couple walks across the screen, with the camera following them to focus on our main guy. Very nice!

The animation has some very cool things in it. I really dig the way Phil gets spun around, and he's taken by surprise and off-balance for a moment... very well done!

I also really dig the character's lean forward on "Life"-- and this piece is full of a lot more little moments and poses like that that made me really enjoy watching it.

Overall, I think your body mechanics could still use a bit more scrutiny. Look, for example, at Phil's turn-around between 100 and 150. Things feel very floaty and linear there, and could probably use a lot of tweaking in the timing.

Another example would be the character's laugh between 95 and 108. You're doing some nice stuff with the shoulders there, but I feel like there should be a little more going on in the body, too, to reflect the laughter and to amplify what you're doing with the shoulders. It doesn't have to be much, but enough to see that the whole body is working together as a unit.

Juan Z.:

needs work, but well done

Erik Westlund:

Start is a little over-the-top but you handled the issue making the characters shake hands well. Close up of male and female characters is revealing how much is not happening with there faces. You don't want to draw attention like that. Staging is awkward and unnecessarily complex. Why is the main character turned so far towards the "back" of the scene just be for the end. Keep your camera simple and stage characters to that setup.

sharad kumar:

animation is floating...in the end they just flew off.....complete it man...just cchk the timing!

Jason Smith:

Great interaction between the characters.

Max Rodriguez:

Good start.

Aaron Clement:

I love the expression on the laugh... just too much floatiness, though.
