Kevin Scott:

good poses here!

Mike York:

Im really diggin the middle character's movements but it seems like the guy next to him is very stale and stagnit he also uses the same two poses right after each other it seems a little awkward.

Where is the girl's neck :-) ?

Jason:

wow, nice poses and expressions. the subtle movements of the fingers are great. they add a nice alive quality to the already solid animation

Taber Dunipace:

Great stuff! He gets a little jerky at times, but overall this works really well.

Joe Garhan:

really nice

Jon Graef:

This is good but I feel that the central character needs to have longer pauses in between movements. He just seems to flop all over the place.

Ken Rice:

Really nice animation here - but I'm not sure about greying out the 2 characters: you wouldn't be able to do that in a real production so is it good practise to do it here - just wondering.

andyM:

the animation's good but i'd maybe condense "where are we going" into a gentler action.

it looks ok watching it now, but first watch it was a bit off putting.
it's hard when you get used to watching something to see how an audience judges it.
i've just watched it 5 or 6 times, and i'm used to it.
but i do think the big "going" move is too distracting and makes the piece weaker. especially if the other characters were fully animated.

on the plus side, i really like the way he shuffles his hands and elbows about the table ;)

i've actually ended up watching it about 20 times, that deserves an extra star :D

Ricardo Vicens:

i would have given this a higher rating if the two other characters were given the same attention as that colored one.

gerardo castellanos:

very very good.. flow, strong poses, dynamic!... all is good

Christopher Salamat:

Middle character is done well. I know the concentration is on the middle character, but its hard to read the acting on the other characters though since they're not textured. The laugh on the left character needs to be pushed more

Daniel Luke:

Clever, the way you've set the lighting to hold the focus on the central talker. Also the coloring. His acting is really fluid and realistic, and your setting has taken into account the subtle background noises. Really nice touch with the camera flashes at frame 14 and 38.

Sunny Kharbanda:

Good work on the overlap and timing on the guy's body. His expression at around frame 250, when he goes "Oh!" needs much more contrast, it's a point of emphasis in the dialog and could stand out more.

HARISH:

Could work more on the other two grey characters. like the main characters actions. GOOD STUFF !!!

lucas:

the tan guy is great. other characters could use some work but i really like the feel of this

Erik Westlund:

Character who is primary focus (interesting strategy) is wobbling around too much... like he is drunk or something. Facial movement for all three characters is "mushy"... rhythms is speech and expression are not very clearly defined.

Jason Smith:

Great acting on the main guy, he looks really excited. I'm glad you were able to enter! Great job.

sharad kumar:

great!....but i think u cud've made phil laugh too with the body instead of just animating the mouth!......animation on the main character is very good!

Mauro Alemanno:

some poses are beautiful...but try to make moving hold!

Pablo Piccione:

Really good, although It's a shame the two extreme characters

Oren Bentov:

looks really great :), the girl on the right need some more work and it will be amazing.

Derek Mabson:

I like the facial work. I think the middle character is just too busy. Nice job though.

Alexandar Ivanchev:

Nice one ... I just think that Phil's animation is a bit robotic ... it would be great if he looks more natural

Chris Woods:

Nice work, but over-acted. The Orange guy never seems to stop once he starts and I find it to be exhausting to watch. Let the energy build up to a certain point instead of starting out of the gate at 11 and just staying there.

Max Rodriguez:

Great job

Michael Cawood:

Nice work, and I like they way you kept only one character in a warm colour palette. Not very natural, but perfectly suited to this competition.

Aaron Jonas:

nice work

James Stevenson:

Some fine posing in this one, some of the best I've seen this month. You definitely have your own style, stands out from a lot of very similar entries. Good stuff!

Brad Regier:

It's funny the way he claps. But it distracts us from the woman speaking.

Aaron Clement:

Timings good. Felt like there was too much movement in there... needed less actions.

James:

First hand gesture is a bit too exaggerated, but nice hand movements generally.
Body moves about too much, feels a bit too floppy.
