Dave H Shovlin:
Your poses are great. The attitude is great. I would take another pass at it to smooth out some of the arcs and maybe add some bounciness.
P Walters:
There's some really nice stuff going on here. The movement seems to be too constant though. It might help to allow them have them stop moving and hold their key poses instead of constantly doing something just for the sake of doing it. Nice camera changes/movements. That helps the story.
Taber Dunipace:
All of the actions seem to float around like they're under water. The set up in the begining was a good effort of making sense of the scene, but in the end, I don't think it added anything to the animation. The biggest problem to me is the knife. WHY is that person pulling out a knife. What THOUGHTS led up to that choice. What is the persons INTENT with the knife? Is he going to stab the other guy? Take the envelope forcefully? Offer the other person the knife? We need SPECIFICS to understand the characters.
Jett Atwood:
The acting is pretty good...but dude, quit moving the camera.
C. J. Cow:
i like the staging and the acting, but why the camera movement, why?
Virgil Mihailescu:
it's interesting that you've added shots, and congrats for twisting the content a bit, but the acting is not very clear - the characters could get more involved into what they're doing. technique-wise, the bodies are moving a little too much, the poses and gestures aren't that motivated. but I liked the lipsync. It can be improved, but it doesn't look bad, it reads quite well.
David Humphreys:
the all done and the movement seem a little out of sync. other than that i think its great!
Missy Feaster:
Needs some work on timing.
Theo Edmands:
Nice poses.
Christopher Lutz:
Body movements are a bit floaty.
Yeray Díaz Díaz:
Good job. The main character's right hand moves a little unnaturally and the second character's reaction when taking the letter is a bit too exaggerated. Nice camera work.
Aaron Clement:
Very inventive. The pointing felt a little stiff. Watch the floatiness. Good staging.
Leon Gittens:
needs some final touches, and need to clean up the lip sync, more finesse but i like the idea
Bilal Ahmad:
a real good smooth animation
Gregory Marlow:
Your using IK on the arms and it shows. Especially on baldy. Arcs!!
Victor Wong:
The shoulders on the second guy are moving just a bit too much. His acting is OK, but needs some more SI/SO. The first guy's acting, OTOH, is pretty decent.
Chris Smith:
not bad - a bit floaty overall, i think.
Roshan.k:
the cuts were distracting to eyes.. but the camera pan was good..acting is also nice..and the facial expressions too
David Shum:
needs some cleaning up.
Use camera cuts and camera moves only if necessary. I think you could've skipped the whole, dumping the trash into the big, and used that time to improve the meat of your shot.
Watch the eyes on the dude with glasses. Eyes tells alot about what the character is thinking, and helps direct the viewers attention on where to look. Just because his eyes are behind glasses, doesn't mean we can't see them :P
Adriel Restrepo:
The begining and when he says "we have to" was really good! The last shot were the camera is moving might still need a little tweeking on the settle ins and holds. I really the way he jumps and goes after the the falling letter.
Keep it up!
Mike Courtney:
The continuity with the audio is off. The letter should be open before "all done". The guy on the left doesn't seem to be engaged with whats going on. The guy on the right has a floating left hand.
