I love the dance! The lipsynch is a little off, and I think you should hit the "something to talk a-BOUT" beat with the arm cross down pose. And maybe a little more overlapping action. Great stuff!
Leon Gittens:
lol the dancer steals the show, it seems you spent a lot more time on the dancer then the guy talking which is not a bad thing. BUT the poses and the performance on the "A "character are not as strong as the dancers, in turn this forces the eyes to the dancers actions then the lead character, unless you wanted it this way, may be different staging could help you, good job
Amdbcg:
really like it up to the "maybe" part
Sergey B.:
all attention is for this guy who dance but not for who speaks
Chris Niewinski:
The reflections are distracting.
Paul Fuller:
Some great animation, especially on the kid. The lip synch seems a bit off, and at the end "maybe", his double head movement seems a bit too much.
Curtis:
The little kid is very busy. cool animation on him tho. he distracts a little from the focus of the shot. which considering he's in the foreground, should be the father.
Joey Gates:
The son dancing in the background is very well done. I think the dad acting feels a bit too out of character from frame 200 till the end. I would try to calm him down a bit there. Great job!
David Higgins:
I spent all my time looking at the kid and not the one doing the talking - you may as well have made it a voice over on the dancing character.
Paul Wei:
The dancing son is awesome, the main character could use some more polishing.
Kevin Scott:
dancing guy is awesome!
Sean Burgoon:
Breakdancing was very cool, but would have liked to have seen greater focus on the actor delivering the line.
Daniel Erwin:
fun action/dancing stuff...
Timothy Yeo:
the dance is fantastic. but the acting can be better and the hands can be more fluid.
Raasi N:
nice poses and expressions.even the dancing son is done nicely....good work.
Patrick:
I don't quite understand why the animation on the son is really great but the father just "so so", it feels very pose to pose. the son instead delivers one solid performance
Ronny:
nice dancing mechanics pretty good
Martin Silfvast:
nice job!
Erik Griott:
some of his gestures seem too rash compared to the rest of his performance, particularly the head wag at "maybe". as for the son, i would have liked to see a ground plane under the cardboard, because it looks like the father is a giant, and the purple man is standing on a table.
barak drori:
the beautiful animation of the dance takes all the attention
Barnabas Boehler:
Cool idea!
The kids dancing looks okay, but I think it still needs some attention.
The dad is pretty good, but I think you still need to try to get more variety in the timing of his gestures and how long he holds each pose. Last pose is a bit overdone in this particular scenario as well.
Red Shaya:
a bit of over reaction. but lovely
Ace:
love the ending!
Andy Hass:
Love the break-dancing. Hard to turn away to watch the main performance.
Renato Fochi:
Hahaha...very cool idea, maybe the movements needs more work, but the "dancin boy" was very cool!!
congrats
Mark Homoky:
Some great movements and very purposeful poses. Love the father's stance at the end.
Andre de Villiers:
That guy can DANCE!
E. Cooman:
Love the dancing! Nice work!
Joan Delmont:
funny dance ! The animation have somme problems...
Elliott Gibson II:
now that was tyt!!!!!!! this animator knows a thing or two about pop lockin!!!
Frank G:
Wow, a lot of movement. Nice holds. Good shrug on 'anything' into a big change up on the first 'My son...'. Probably the best change/impact I've seen so far. Not sure on tthe final facial expression. Initial staging set up wasn't clear. Lots of stars.
jonas ekman:
i liked the breakdancer in the background, but i didnt like the acting of the character in front doing the lipsync
SamoRa G:
love the kids glide! =D
James Fearn-Wannan:
Oh wow
