I'm happy with the final clip but not entirely satisfy . Its the first time I animate a dialog in English, and i never made a dialog so long.

Rich Lauzon:

I am not sold on the staging... Due to the fact that blue guy knows exactly where to look through that big chair. but the acting is good

Erik Griott:

i think i would turn the chair near the end a little so that it looks like the characters intend on interacting with each other. also, when the guy says "...ethical" his action is too flashy i think; too dramatic. when he looks at the letter after that part his eyes are closed until he hears the sound of the knife, but it looks like he is supposed to be looking at the letter. i would open his eyes a little there.

Jett Atwood:

Not bad but the brown character is hugely overposed to the point his gestures are meaningless.

P Walters:

Good blocking, needs smoothing and polishing.

Steve Sloan:

a few too many poses around frame 120, other than that i like it.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

There are too much poses and too exaggerated. The flow between them could also use some work. Lipsync needs some work too.

miles southan:

Not bad! You need fewer poses (You could lose at least two from the middle section) and more cushioning of your actions though.

Frank Collazo:

like it a lot very good job

Missy Feaster:

Nice animation. Jumps a bit at times, like on "ethical."

Theo Edmands:

Staging is nice. There are way too many dramatic gestures on your charcter however.

Salvador García Luque:

good but I think the left character moves to much and very stucky.

Traci Plagmann:

I really like the staging you chose. I also like the way you have him open one eye on the look to the left too. I think you're trying to put too many gestures in during the last half of it. A little simpler thru that part would read better.

Taber Dunipace:

Very rough animation with a lot of room for improvement in the areas of acting and animation principals.

Christiaan Moleman:

Like the someone else's mail pose... but from "stop for a moment" till "here" you've got way too many different poses. Focus on a single idea at a time and use one pose to sell it (while still keeping it alive).

Christopher Lutz:

Left guy is overacting a bit.

Aaron Clement:

I liked the ending. Felt a little odd having his back to the person he was talking too, though.

Bilal Ahmad:

i think, if the character with the envelope, could have facing towards the BLUE guy, it would have been a lot better in the final impact of the animation.

Gregory Marlow:

not a lot of expression on the guy in the foregrounds face. May be the rig?

Victor Wong:

Could use a bit more facial expression overall. Gestures are synced pretty well. You need to establish a bit of eye contact between the characters, especially with the snick of the knife.

Jennifer Anaya:

for me, it looks like the poses for the seated guy are too jumpy and erratic for the character's voice and tone.

Roshan.k:

ha ha ha ..generi's facial expression is great! cold blooded. but his head jerks at a movement and slowly floating back to first position..u could've avoided that..the other character is great..

David Shum:

there are some great moments here.
I think its just a matter of simplifying it, and keeping the poses that matters most.
You'll find it alot easier on your part, and less confusing for the audience.

interesting camera angle, keep working on it!

Olivier Ladeuix:

you might want to town down the acting a bit especially since he is talking to someone behind him. Max rig and Maya rig at the same time?

Max Perelman:

Great work. Smooth animation, and most of the acting works really well for me. (Only exception being the "mail" gesture from 80-105ish. I see where you're going with that but it doesn't read as cleanly to me.)

Mike Courtney:

Blue Guy is almost dead. The foreground character intersects his chair with his right elbow. Lip-sync needs improvement.

Max Herzfeld:

Good posing and timing but the movements could be more pressent.
Try moving the eyes as well as the head.
nice job.
