David Humphreys:

the lift where he shrugs the old guy off coul be a little stronger.

Rich Lauzon:

cool

shamyl:

good job on the animation overall... but 2 naked man holding hands?!

Jett Atwood:

It's really good! The hands feel a little plastic...try loosening them up. Also the gag at the end...doesn't quite read. I'm still not exactly sure what is going on that makes the "SNIP" sound.

Erik Griott:

very nice concept, finally something original from all the other ones we've been seeing! you have some good acting here as well, it is clear what they are thinking. perhaps the only thing i see that could use improvement is the emotion present on the grey-haired character's face. maybe push it a little more, but overall very nice!

Steve Sloan:

great take on the sound clip! the motion around frame 90 seems a little too much though.

miles southan:

The body work is pretty nice overall, but the fingers need attention. The hips pop at frame 22 and dont travel in an arc in general. The body and head could use more overlap in many places. The facial animation, especially the lip synch needs work as well.

Frank Collazo:

nice like it great mov

Missy Feaster:

Not bad....needs to explore more acting options, though.

Theo Edmands:

Nice acting choices.

Matt:

i didn't like the ending

Chris:

Pretty good animation! Unlike a lot of others' rigs, yours is naked without hair, which makes them feel even more naked, which is a little odd to watch.

C. J. Cow:

interesting take, i like the animation except on frame 95 the guy has his had going through the envelope, and when the character says "stop" around frame 120 the left hand does this brief movement im not 2 sure about.. other than that good stuff.

Chad Hannah:

Characters were a little floaty. The guy not talking, was a little distracting. He doesnt need to move quiet as much

Taber Dunipace:

This is definitely one of the better concepts and probably also one of the better executions. There are bits of the characters that freeze during the animation which is unnatural and distracting.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

Nice idea. In my opinion there's a little too much movement on the first part and a lack of it in the second. In any case it reads perfectly, good job.

Christopher Lutz:

Nice interaction. Movements of right guy are floaty.

Piotr Krysik:

Nice idea to solve the "opening" problem ;)

Bilal Ahmad:

a good piece of animation...

Alison K. Sanders:

Good stuff. You've got a nice setup here. I think your animation could be a bit snappier between poses.

Gregory Marlow:

Nt sure I understand what happens at the end. Is that scissors on a lamp stand or somthing? Pretty good animation thoguh

Juliano Bezerra:

The scene is dificulty to understand whats happening..

Ryan Hagen:

Nice work, I would say that your keys feel really loose and at some times, they pop a bit when hitting the extremes. But overall it just felt a bit to swimmy. I liked the idea, I think you could've pushed the poses up a bit. Good work, keep it up.

Jennifer Anaya:

haha...nice ending! but i think the acting towards the end wasn't as strong as it was in the beginning.

Chris Smith:

Good idea with the lamp at the end - thats different to most others.
This probably lacks some "punch" - movements are a little too floaty.
Not a bad effort, though.

Aaron Clement:

Needs more breakdowns... feels kinda linear. A little floaty, too. The staging is good.

Roshan.k:

good job!

David Shum:

haha smart :P

There's alot of sweet subtle animation here.
Only problem is that its happening at the same time for both characters. Perhaps you should give the viewer some indication on which character we're suppose to be focusing on ~

Olivier Ladeuix:

what is going on? is he opening the letter with the light casing??

Christiaan Moleman:

The way grey haired guy staggers back when the envelope is pulled away is a bit strange. You could easily pull it away only pulling the hand along a tiny bit. The guy would not even have to leave his pose. Even if you pulled the envelope up, which is kind of a counter-intuitive way of doing it there would still not be that much force being exerted on the guy who's holding it down.

Victor Wong:

The grey-haired character moves and speaks well. The brown-haired character needs some more SI/SO in his arm gestures; facial expressions are acceptable.

Scott Farrell:

need more appealing facial poses, and the bodys feel floaty, like they're not holding any real weight. the ideas are there, just a lot of refining

David J Harmon:

funny, but i think they need clothes

Michael Twentyman:

creative take on the switchblade sound, thank you.

Mike Courtney:

The lip-sync needs improvement. Gray hair doesn't seem to be engaged until his line starts. The ending does not make since the letter was never opened.

Max Herzfeld:

It's good, the flow of the movements is great, but there's just not much there.
The expressions and movements are very mild overall, and there's a gap in the middle when the faces hardly change.
Actions should be powered from inside.
Ask yourself "What are they thinking and how can that be shown?"
Overall good work.

Adriel Restrepo:

haha! Nice work! Its funny you made him change his mind when seeing whats inside with the light. Maybe the poses and expressions can be a exaggerated a little more especialy the "All done" part. The guy with the spikey hair is a little floaty so you might want to hold the poses more.
