Danny Garnett:

Nice work. When he pulls the mail away from the one guy in the beggining, he reaction is a little overboard. The second cut where he is waving it in his face seems a bit unnecessary. And when the first charcter pulls out his knife i think the second guy should have stepped back a bit.
Nice work other than that!

Rich Lauzon:

Decent

Carlos Fins:

Nice work! There's some good stuff going on here with this piece. Some really good things happening in the interaction between the two characters. I think screen right's movements and reactions are a little too quick, tho. But overall, nice work!

P Walters:

Nice facial expressions. There's a nice cartoony feel to your animation. It sometimes feels a bit floppy though. Flopppy, I know that's not a technical term. I mean that the movements seem overly grandiose. If that makes sense. I really like the movement right after he pulls the knife. Nice.

Erik Griott:

the short guy seems very figity. i find it a little distracting.

Jett Atwood:

He's a bit overposed and mushy. Pick one or two really stong poses and let him settle into those rather than posing/animating at a breakneck speed.

Steve Sloan:

The camera angles are great, the letter waving in his face was funny.

Frank Collazo:

like it movement

C. J. Cow:

You have brought Teddy to life! YAY! rock on!!!! nice camera angles and animation. I think Teddy's left foot is sliding alittle near the beginning but thats probably the rig's fault. :P

jeff beck:

nice work with the chinamans rig (teddy)

Virgil Mihailescu:

I like the expressions, but the logic behind the whole thing is twisted, which could be great, hehe, but in this case it's not very... logical. I mean, the 'all done' at the end doesn't seem to fit this context. Your animation works fine without audio in fact, but when adding the 'all done' line...

Marcos Borba Moreira:

just thought the guy with the mustache was too floppy sometimes. other then that, good animation and cameras

Missy Feaster:

Bouncy. :) Love that expression when the letter's waved in his face.

Aaron Clement:

Nice ending! I like the closeup of the guys face... The characters move a little too much at times.

ArunVijayan:

its quiet funny....nice acting...

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

I find the first part a little to quick and hard to read. Also skipped the first part of the phrase which I find key. Good job on the surprise take.

Christopher Lutz:

Nice snappy motions! Good one!

Dan Dulberger:

Nice, but the old man seems to shifts his weight (from one foot to the other) abit too much.

Bilal Ahmad:

very nicely executed animation...

Taber Dunipace:

Good effort, but again, this is a case of the secondary character pulling out a knife WITHOUT motivation or INTENT before-hand. We need to see his THOUGHT process, and his EMOTIONS to understand what he's trying to achieve in the scene. This scene needs much more focus on good acting and better staging to help the message.

Juliano Bezerra:

Very very good man!

Gregory Marlow:

The "Stop" pose looks a little forces, but otherwise very good.

Kev Haynes:

I really love that take, really nice and fleshy

Victor Wong:

The second scene works very well in terms of emotional expression. In the third scene, the second character is a little too bouncy and the lip sync doesn't quite match up.

Chris Smith:

Not bad animation, but the movements of guy on right are a bit too overdone for me. Makes the communication of his message distracting and unclear.

Freddy Burgos:

Great job! I really like the surprised gesture on the screen-right guy when the other pulls out the knife. Very cool! I think during the "stop" gesture, you could bring his arm out a bit further, the elbow feels a bit too close to his body there. Really great stuff though! Looking foward to checking out your next entry!

srikar:

like the acting on the second....

David Shum:

I like your cuts, and antics!

I feel the animation needs some cleaning on the 2 character shot (frame 1-70).

this is a strong piece.
Good luck!

katie:

asdf

Scott Farrell:

nice ideas, great choices, Id just keep refining it , parts of the body still feel floaty

Mike Courtney:

After the third cut the guy with the knife doesn't move until he pulls out the weapon. The other guy has a sliding foot grabbing the letter and doesn't flow into the poses well.

Max Herzfeld:

The work on the ethical guy is quite convincing. It's just a bit loose, but good job overall.

Christiaan Moleman:

I like the expression change in the closeup.

The way the blocky guy's body gets pulled along when the other takes the envelope doesn't quite work though. His body is moving before it's even been taken.
