Matt Hirengen:
really nicely done! great acting.
Manuel Bover:
really good job!. Nice acting.
Daniel Morgan Walsh:
awesome job!!!
Jeff Kim:
Awesome! You took the minimalist approach and focused all on performance and acting. I really like the flow and none of the poses are over the top, something I've been seeing in so many pieces so far. However, the pose on 77 may be a bit too much. Also, I think you can lose the pose on 210 and still work within the pose you have on 190. Overall this is very good!
Erik Griott:
very nice acting! i only wish that there was a story.
Kim Allen:
I like this. The characters attitude carries along really well through the piece. Nice work
David Higgins:
Could have been better framed but a good effort
Paul Wei:
Nice smooth motion. At times, it doesn't feel like the voice is coming from the character.
Daniel Erwin:
i lose it in the eyes around 145-180, it gets confusing... i think you could keep the eye pose/intensity through from frame 145 to something like 176 then going into the angry eyes... i like the hand motion going into frame 131. i dont think you need a second hand/bounce on "that" (frame 204)... GOOD WORK!!
Kayum:
I like what you are doing with the eyebrows. They may be pushed a bit too hard in places, but you do a good job of getting some subtle and quite profound emotions in them.
luv2animate:
Very suttle n soo natural..Gr8 work!!
Martin Silfvast:
great!
Andy Hass:
Nicely staged and well performed. You even have a couple poses that would normally be cliche (160 and 195),but you incorporated them well along with more interesting and original choices. I think you could smooth out the transition between the pose at 195 and the pose at 206.
Mark Homoky:
Oops - is it just me or does this cut the audio short? Think you needed an extra few frames here.
Otherwise some nice poses and good facial expressions.
E. Cooman:
Nice acting! Good work
Alex Fundora:
Excellent acting! Just to nitpick, in the beginning I'd say that his anticipation to "at anything" is too soon or too prominent. Love this piece ^_^
G. Smith:
It cuts off short in the end but just by the first motion, I knew this would be one of the good ones..love the expressions. You captured the right feel for the voice clip and you're one of the few that were able to do that
Paul Fuller:
Nice work. I the one thing I can think of to crit is when the man says "he has a gift" and points it would be more impactful if it was a beat later and work up a little more anticipation.
Frank G:
I like the dismissive shrug at the end. Nice acting progression across the screen.
Jorge Zagatto:
very good! you got it!
