Corey McDaniel:

Very good though he looks cross- eyed throughout

Matt Hirengen:

a little evenly timed, but good job overall!

Forrest:

great motion, very fluid especially on the standing movement. the final pose doesnt quite fit with the characterization however. Settle the head down a bit, it feels like his neck is a slinky

Justin Weg:

I'd like to see more in the face

colus havenga:

great effort! the last hand action on the table at frame 335 works but i think you could have gotten a stronger pose..the camera choices are a bit confusing when it cuts..i think its because of the angle of the table that sort of stays the same and the characters position changes in the frame.

Daniel Morgan Walsh:

timing seemed a bit off with the audio clip sometimes. But the gestures were great, the lip sync was almost there like I said it was a bit off, but I was impressed.

natalie:

A bit vague. He changes mood and attitudes as he speaks - but I dont understand why. If there isnt an obvious story to follow, there should be one easy to imagine.

Guo WenZHeng:

nice work

Barnabas Boehler:

Hey this is looking really good. All the body movements feel really smooth and timed well.

2 things that bother me though.

1. is the cam cut feels like it's a whole new setting...need to work on the continuity.

2. Not quite feeling the breath, with the volume of the breath, I would expect his chest/body to react more.

Srujith kumar Ogirala:

staging is good. you need to work on animation. its little bit of floaty

Nate Moody:

Decent body work, the facial expressions are a little bland. The look upwards at the end doesn't fit, and the pose he has doesn't seem to fit. I could see him either leaning on the desk, or crossing his arms, but the "hero" pose doesn't work... Good effort!

rajeshk:

nice poses need to fix timing.. and acting

Martin Silfvast:

nice work!

Red Shaya:

very emotional. you managed to capture the essentials of this speech

Frank G:

Good starting and end poses. The cut was a bit jarring. The initial leg move at the start was intriguing and well put. The start 40% is really well acted. The second half had less 'impact' than I was hoping for. I was anticipating more change to go along with the change in dialogue. The character's facial expressions were clear in that but the movement was possibly a bit subdued/ smooth in the high intensity part?

Vedanth Rajan:

too floaty... nice poses... need to work a bit on the timing!!! try to add some snappiness make the poses much better...

Brad Regier:

Nice acting!
The second cam angle should be more different from the first one.
