Erik Griott:

i dont think this is how real humans act towards one another. i think you should study humans more, or video tape yourself acting out the scene or something, because this isnt very realistic. you twin the green guys arms the entire animation. it looks like the knife is in the green guys hand but the blue guy opens the letter? you have some issues with timing and motion arcs.

Joaquin Bello:

its not fluid, and the poses are too long

Rich Lauzon:

I thinkf that the blue man should have reacted to having been grabbed that way... backed up or something....not bad

P Walters:

Needs more work. I like the hands on the face.

Jett Atwood:

It feels like this is the inital early blocking so it's hard to comment. Watch the twinning that's going on.

Steve Sloan:

I didn't really like the poses you chose, there was one where only his pinkey finger was stick up. I did laugh at him putting his hands on his face though. Another thing, the one character moved really slow and the other moved lightning fast, i found that distracting.

Taber Dunipace:

Human beings don't move like this. If you want a believible performance, try videotaping yourself acting the scene out with a friend. Also, you REALLY need to study traditional animation principals.

Theo Edmands:

Look at the movement of the blue guy's right arm, it needs some more breakdowns. Also the lip sync is a little slow.

Missy Feaster:

The poses need to be clearer and more dynamic, but try to keep the characters from simply snapping from one position to the next.

Salvador García Luque:

very stucky animation

Freddy Burgos:

Great effort here! I really like the idea of guy holding the other's head while he speaks to him. Throughout, the bodies stay fairly stiff. There are some issues like the envelope hand moving and the rest of the body not moving at all. Also, it's a bit unclear what the screen-right guy is doing with his hands in the air. The lean back the the screen-right guy feels off too. Almost like its rotating along an axis. Keep it up the hard work!

Justin Weg:

Too much poses. Looks like he is about to kiss him. Keep working on it!

Christopher Lutz:

Body movements not clear.

Dan Dulberger:

Abit stiff both of them. Who points with the pinky like that?

Piotr Krysik:

The moving hand of the blue character (the one with the envelope) from frames 50 to 90 is a little distracting and drives the watchers eyes away from the talking character. Lipsync (if used - I really can't tell if I see it there ;)) needs tweaks too.

Brad Bradbury:

lots of parallel lines in the posing.

Gregory Marlow:

I thought he was going to kiss him for a moment.

Victor Wong:

The broad gesturing conveys the right idea, but this needs a lot more tweening, especially with the big gesture in the middle.

Jennifer Anaya:

pretty good idea, i liked when he grabbed his face to kinda shake him out of it, but it looks like it needs more time to refine the animation.

Aaron Clement:

Interesting choices of acting. Not sure about the pinky fingers being stages like that (frame 70)... index fingers would be a better choice.

Roshan.k:

so many places where none of the characters are looking alive!

Olivier Ladeuix:

body accents are a bit off.

David J Harmon:

great, I like how he takes stage

Christiaan Moleman:

The blue character doesn't react to the guy grabbing his face. If somebody grabbed my face I would at the very least move with the impact of the hands if not respond in some appropriate way.

His body is frozen through most of the shot and when he moves his hip as he cuts the paper his torso remains locked. Not good. With the other guy you're moving the spine without moving the lower body...

You need to think of the body as a whole. When one part of it moves, the rest reacts. Try acting it out and filming yourself with a camera. See how much your body reacts to itself.

Max Herzfeld:

Nice work.
Grabing the face was a great bold choice but you have to meet great choices with great reactions, just imagine how you'd act if someone grabed your face.
Keep it up and practice.
