Matt Hirengen:

Great acting, timing, and staging. Good job!

Corey McDaniel:

Very nice, the last few poses look like they are missing some cushioning though.

Candace Giancanelli:

very clean, good job

Josh:

There's some good brow expression going on, but it's the same one over and over. Maybe switch the raised brow a few times.

Daniel Morgan Walsh:

Great Job

colus havenga:

the acting translates well

Jeff Kim:

Cool! A character adjusting his chair like that is something I haven't seen yet, and yet it's believable.

alan:

love the movements, especially the chair move. good work

Igor Medovshikov:

Nice work I really like it!

Daniel Erwin:

i like his transition to leaving the room from the chair. how the chair is used to push the performance. nice idea.

Kayum:

I like the progression of the scene; starting as a close-up and ending with him walking away. It adds another layer of readability.

Andre de Villiers:

Nice! I would remove the camera rotation in the first shot. Good finger work

chrisbyk:

Really nice, just that the moving chair action looks a bit choreographed

chakravarma:

nice beats..

Barnabas Boehler:

Really Nice work here.

Not if you should cut on action there it feels a bit jolting but that could just be me.

Otherwise, I would just try to change the colors of some of the BG elements so they don't blend with your character so much

Chloe Do:

good use of the cameras

Martin Silfvast:

nice work!

Cameron Huber:

Interesting choices with the camera cuts. I think they work but I would keep the first one as a static shot, losing the quick pan it does before cutting. I also think the second cut should be positioned to the left more, so we see him at more of an angle and so it ties in comfortably from the last shot.

I felt that the picking up the chair part lacked weight, as he did it rather effortlessly and with only one hand. I would play around with having him walk around behind the chair and then push it in before walking away. At the moment it just feels a little floaty.

I also think you could add a lot more weight to the walk as he leaves the room. F 340 - 395 make it look like he's simply translating across the floor. I think it would be a great opportunity for you to push some anger or annoyance into his walk.

Very nice stuff though man! Keep at it!

Kevin Gittens:

Great camera changes and good body movement.

Frank G:

The line of action in the hand on the opening extreme close up was worth stars on it's own. Then into a subtle eye dart. Really good. Leading the pack!

Matthieu Delaere:

Nice. I like how you change the camera and let him interact with the environment.
Nice going!

Florent Perrin:

Subtle and believable, good staging and choices of acting, I loved that...
You should perhaprs try to detach from the rythm of the text. For example the moment whare he manipulates the chairs could be a little more "independant" from the talking...

:)

E. Cooman:

Nice acting & LS.

Damien Pougheon:

cool animation and really cool staging !!!
nice work

Omri Navot:

nice work. the cuts are a bit distracting. keeping it in one shot prob would have worked

Joan Delmont:

i think the move are too at the same time of the voice... sorry if you don't understant my poor english...

Brad Regier:

nice acting.
maybe simplify it for only 2 cam angles

Ashwani:

nice

James Fearn-Wannan:

Lovely!
