Not bad! Good expressions! I think that the poses between "ethical" and "implications" are not snappy enoughs... a bit too smooth.
David Humphreys:
the inverted commas gesture feels a little fast maybe you could remove the pose before it and give yourself a few more frames, other than that its very good
Aaron Jonas:
nice acting
Matthew P. Johnson:
Eye and brow movement looks great, I would push the lip sync further, right now it isn't selling as well as the rest of the facial movement (I'm not seeing some of those "o" shapes in there). I would also push the initial reaction of the character on the right. On your way to a great little piece here.
Erik Griott:
i think the purple guy is doing too much.
Carlos Fins:
Lip synch feels off with the left char. Some of his poses and expressions feel very cliche. Good work, tho.
Taber Dunipace:
Nice specific emotions toward the end and smooth pleasing animation. The grey haired man's lips almost never stop moving, which makes it seem like he's just a puppet rather than a person, remember to add stops and sudden punctuations to add emphasis. The front person's face and body do almost NOTHING for most of the animation as he listens to the older man. We really need to see something going on in his face or posture to suggest that he's thinking and drawing conclusions.
shamyl:
very nice facial animation! a little too much changing of poses for the guy on the left
P Walters:
Good eye movements. The hands aren't bad but it looks like your trying to cram too many hand gestures in.
Jett Atwood:
Watch the twinning and over posing of the character delivering the main dialogue. Also watch the silhouette...he is doing all his acting right in front of himself so some of his nicer poses don't read as well as they should.
Dave H Shovlin:
Good acting, good mechanics, very slick. The air quotes movement seems a bit hurried.
miles southan:
Good work overall but you have too many poses. I would lose the quotes pose. Also, the fingers feel very generic.
Theo Edmands:
Nice Job. I'd say that the guy is a little too gesturey. If you cut out a couple of poses then it might be a bit more effective. Also the "quote" fingers come a little late; he's hitting that pose half way through "implications" when it might work better even before"ethical". The knife guy looks really good, though.
Santiago Arellano:
Theres a lot of arm tweening, last part is a little overdone, 1 pose per phrase
HariNarayan:
WOW !!
Traci Plagmann:
Nice staging. I would suggest not putting so many gestures in and trying to break up the twinning on those gestures.
Missy Feaster:
Not sure about the use of the finger quotes, but this moves very nicely.
Salvador García Luque:
The lipsync needs more work, the lips moves even if in the audio is no voice there.
Chad Hannah:
go all out on the lip sync, you can exaggerate the mouths and facial expressions like crazy!
Aaron Clement:
Hehe, I like the ending. Are they in a bathroom? The tiles on the back reminded me of that. Good posing and silhouette.
C. J. Cow:
good acting! but watch out for them twining of the arms. :)
Damodar V Sawant:
You need to work on lipsyncs looks too much of roboric
ArunVijayan:
nice work!!!!but needs to work in lipsinc...it seems like till in bloking stage....
Christopher Lutz:
Very good. Maybe the arms of the left guy are doing a bit to much.
Yeray Díaz Díaz:
Good job. The poses are nice although there might be a little too many of them. Maybe cut the number and place them a little more carefully. Also the lipsync needs som work.
vic:
take care of twinning.... it kills the acting
Dan Dulberger:
The dude with the knife lacked some animation as the other dude talked. The "quotes" gesture was superfluous and only forced you to make the surrounding gestures go by unnaturally fast. other than that - smooth.
Ryan Glovka:
Way too many beats, gestures by main talker. Too busy. Try to focus on one or two of the ideas in the dialogue and build from there. Don't need a pose for every word. Good start though!
Gabe Dill:
lip sync could use a little work. i think you used a few too many poses on the main character (over worked him) Maybe relax a little with him and add something more with the secondary character.
Matt Bjerk:
lip synch seemed off on old man
Gregory Marlow:
lip sync is off and poses are kinda weak.
Chris Smith:
Ummm...ok, besides the gender bending, which is original, I guess... (is that a guy on the left or a girl....?)
Animation is quite good - good key poses and clear movements.
IMO, the "quote/unquote" emphasis should have been placed on _ethical_ rather than _consequences_. Personal preference though.
Also, good rendering. It just finishes it off nicely.
Danny Garnett:
this is really nice. The only thing that bothers me is the part where the older man does the "quote" pose, I think that could be taken out. It seems like he hits too many poses in that time frame too quickly. And maybe push the lip sync a bit more, if the rig can.
Nice work!
Jennifer Anaya:
i like the situation you created but i think the lip syncing is a little off. good job though!
John T. Coomey:
this is pretty cool.
The main character, I can only assume is a camp gay guy based on his dress sense. if so his movements should be a bit more graceful and broader I think and not so fast and abrupt. The pose also are very "pose to pose" and dont flow or overlap into each other with would make it feel more natural. Also your air quotes pose hits too late..
Otherwise its pretty well done.. good job
Roshan.k:
good effort..but too many twined poses and hitting in movements i can notice... good try
Christiaan Moleman:
I think you might be using too many gestures on the grey-haired guy. Also some of the gestures at the end seem to come a bit late. Gestures are not reactions to what you say, they're expressions of your thought process. Thought comes before speech.
Victor Wong:
A bit more facial expression is needed with Knife Guy. A bit of twinning is happening with Suit Guy in the middle, and gestures need a bit more punch.
Jônatas Kerr de Oliveira:
Maybe improve some lipsync, but awesome work! congratz!
Olivier Ladeuix:
good work. 2 questions. Why are you embeding your name in the video? and what are you implying with the finger gesture on the "implication" word ?
Michael Twentyman:
the tough guy looks a bit too young / not right for the voice, and the air-quotres seemed out of place, but other than that it looked good to me.
Mike Courtney:
The lip-sync seems off. The blade man becomes a statue when he's not speaking. The poses were good.
Anthony Travieso:
Cool stuff. Break up the arms on the guy with the gray hair. There are to many time where the arm movements look the same
Gordana:
Be careful to the twinning on the main character arms/hands' gestures throughout... also, on "ethical implications here" you hit too many poses with the hands. you could take the "quotation marks" hand pose out and hold the pose on "Ethical" only (the one with one hand up and the other down) almost 'till the end instead, when he brings up his hands into that defensive pose. I think it would make the ending stronger..nice job on his final facial expression and in keeping the other character to a minimal acting
