Description: I know the hand control is a little distracting, please try to look past it. I wanted to render it but it was a little too big. Thanks to everyone that made suggestions and comments in the WIP section.

Joaquin Bello:

you hold the same pose for too long

Danny Garnett:

nice work. A few could use some work. I don't like how he hits his hand down twice around f174, once was good, then it repeated, just change it to something else. also i think there could be some overlap in his last action when he gets startled, don't have him go straight into a pose, have him overshoot then settle into a startled pose.

Aaron Jonas:

Nice work. Clean animation

Rich Lauzon:

I'd knock out one of the bangs of the tables... that's about it... Good expressions

Brian Duffy:

hitting the table is off time and doesn't really fit the tone of the dialogue

otherwise great job

Jett Atwood:

Pretty good! I'd go for a stronger pose/reaction for the "All done," since it feels so similar to his regular dialogue...the change in attitude should register a bit stronger.

Steve Sloan:

i love the eye movement at frame 231

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

The poses are too alike, you need to mix it up bit. Watch the clavicle and the follow through on quick movements.

Marty Cole:

Great stuff,

The hold starting at frame 35 is fantastic, and the transition into 135 is just as good. Really good acting, the only note i have is that the fist pounding seems out of place, he doesn't sound - or even look like - he is intense enough to do that.

Other then that great work.

Goodluck!

Erik Griott:

i would really like to see the other character, even if its from the back.

P Walters:

nice

Missy Feaster:

Good animation. Would like to see his fist bounce ever so slightly when it hits the table, though. It lacks weight with the abrupt stop.

Victor Wong:

Very good acting, especially with the right arm. Lip sync is acceptable.

Aaron Clement:

Not too bad. The eye line felt off at the beginning. The lipsync didn't fell right to me... maybe to much repetition with the wide narrow and wide again on the shapes... I finger move at the start was a nice piece of subtle work! Noticed it straight away.

vic:

in the last part he s doing the same action twice and with almost same timing.... the rest is good

Christopher Lutz:

Hitting the desk with the fist doesn't really fit.

Piotr Krysik:

The moves are smooth and gestures are good, but I think the eyes need some more work. Nicely done anyway ;)

Robert-Jon Eckhardt:

The slamming on the table is far too weak, it has no impact. Facial expressions and lip sync are decent though.

Bilal Ahmad:

you could've done a lot better on the ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS posture...

Brad Bradbury:

good work. solid clear poses. nice job.

Taber Dunipace:

Again, having the second character off-screen is a staging choice which greatly hurts this piece. The animation quality is average, but the acting choices and staging really drive this clip down.

Gabe Dill:

i like everything other than the double up on the fist hitting the table. if you add a different pose on "ethical" i think you would have a nice piece here. i really like the work on the left hand when he pulls the mail toward himself...

Gregory Marlow:

Good job. Still needs a little more polish though.

srikar:

great job!...but slightly stiff towards the end

Roshan.k:

the hand that placed on the table (well both of them after placing) looks dead for a long time... the acting os nice and the face expressions too.

David Shum:

i love your facial animation!
Strong and attractive.

I jus wish you had more contrast in poses.

and ya, like most other pieces here, i feel you should've given him a few extra frames BEFORE he reacts to the knife. Especially when the knife is coming from off screen. you'll feel 3-5 frames will make alot of difference :P

Anthony Travieso:

You have some good acting choices.

Christiaan Moleman:

I like your acting but I think you should get rid off the hit on the table on "consider". Once is enough and it fits better on "ethical". You might want to overshoot the hand when he recoils from the guy putting a knife in the envelope, and move the arm some.

Also you don't seem to be moving the root. Even when sitting in place you still shift your weight so having some subtle movement there might help keep things alive.

Scott Farrell:

nice choices, powerful but not too big, the only part I didnt like was the double fist hitting the table. It feels a little cliche and I think you can get some better stuff if you act it out a few times.

Olivier Ladeuix:

simple and nice. the only things that bother me a bit are the fact that he is eye darting to the right just after the "wait". I would have him stare at the other guy instead and find an other opportunity for the eyes shift instead.

You are using twice the same gesture on "consider" and "Hetical". Would be nice to vary a bit.

Mike Courtney:

The hand character holds the "shock" to long and withdraws too quickly. The main character's right hand doesn't move until he lifts it. Good work on the lip-sync.

Max Herzfeld:

This was pretty good.
Just the telling could be clearer, does he want the envelope or not?
Keep up the good work.
