Animator: Ken

Description: I've started late with this animation, and due to time constraint I had decided to animate just one character. Hopefully, with the way I stage the animation, it can still tell the story I have in mind that goes with this dialog. Hope you'll like it!

Mike York:

Im really wanting to see the other 2 character's performance :(

I like what you have so far its a little floaty in some areas around frames 147 -160

Jason:

funny facial expressions. push the poses and expressions a bit more

Julianne McCartney:

Body animation is pretty good, it just needs some poses strengthened.

Needs to be more expressive. The eyebrows don't really move much and his eyes are half lidded through the whole piece it seems.

Taber Dunipace:

Alright! A funny camera angle! This piece is very strong overall. A few little things that could be smoother or more specific such as the drinking or the laugh.

Mark Stoughton:

Excellent. Good smooth movement and I love the way he moves into the camera.

Meng:

the key poses are nice, the lip sync is not too bad, but I think some of the timing of the offsetting and overlapping are a bit off, and he must have some really dry eyes, because he only blinked twice in the whole animation

Levi:

With a three character dialogue...you have to be sure to have....three characters

Greg M. Johnson:

Good use of "mass" of the character's body.

Jerome Heuze:

very nice "oh" emotion. :)

James Parsons:

Nice framing, although the interaction with the can didnt seem as crisp as it could have been.

Eric Scheur:

Your lipsync is looking really good. Very casual and natural. Well done on that!

I also like your unique take on that slapping sound with the beer guzzling.

The thing that holds your piece back the most, I think, is that I don't feel a real sense of weight in the body and the head. Particularly between 91 and 105, it feels like the neck would break if such a large head were snapping around that fast. I see what you were going for with the laugh, but I think that it would be much more effective to pull off that kind of thing in the shoulders instead of the head.

You have a good sense of timing and poses, and I really like how he comes to a stop at the "Oh!" line.

Overall, I'd recommend working on your mechanics and maybe easing in and out of some poses... I see a lot of promising stuff here! Good work!

Erik Westlund:

Clever setup for having to animate one character. Breaks down a little starting at frame 148 because of patting sound that has no visual signal. Maybe you should have at least put a hand in the shot. Movement and drinking from can is not convincing. Charactet does not appear to be trying to keep what is in the can from spilling. Even drunk people hold beer cans carefully. Repetitious gesture with left hand 222-240 is too mechanical.

Jason Smith:

Great eye expressions.

Ron Price:

Your posing's nice and crisp, with good solid beats. I like the last looking pose quite a lot.

Max Rodriguez:

I like it, you could emphasize the hits a little bit more.

David Shum:

I think this piece would deserve a lot better rating, if the "gag" is more clear. Or if there is one at all :/

As good as the animation can get, if the audience isn't getting the point..... then.... that... defeats the point xD?

Aaron Clement:

Not too bad... a little expressionless at times, though...

Rebecca D.:

Main character shows excellent emotion- beautiful expression shown with the eyes. But the scenario being depicted is not clear- it leaves us unsure about what's going on here.
