Matt Hirengen:

the steps need some work, but the acting is good.

Igor Medovshikov:

More subtle movement.

Erik Griott:

he's got a very somber performance. more grim than dark, but i like it. on the other hand, it didn't feel intimate enough. i think because he was outside the ballet, we couldn't see what his own son thinks of it, or who he was talking to.

Paul Wei:

Very nice expressions and feel to the character. Some of his actions seem a bit slow, bordering on floaty.

Srujith kumar Ogirala:

concept is ok. you need to work on animation. some jerks are there.

Daniel Erwin:

i like the character performance.... i like the internal anger that bursts out from inside from frame 153. i can see how he controls his angry by the end... good stuff. the animation is a little ruff for me.

natalie:

If I try 'elucidate' the story, I get stuck. But I like the guy.

Kayum:

Hey, interesting staging and charcter set-up. I don't think the 'karate' door needs to be in the scene as it adds visual clutter, and doesn't really contribute to the progression of the scene.

Ian Jacobson:

Are those arms IK, because they shouldn't be!

Ronny:

at the beginning your character it's a little stiff but then once he grabs his hat the reaction is way much better, be careful with the line of action

Barnabas Boehler:

Great Job Suzi!
It's awesome to see an AM piece with someone besides Bishop. I wish I had used Ace now, after seeing like 10 other Bishop pieces

I think the fingers are bending back too much as the come off the doorknob. I might have him lift his hand a bit before dropping it.

Mark Homoky:

Fabulous interpretation! I can just imagine what's behind that door.... !!

E. Cooman:

Nice acting and LS, great work with the hat.

SamoRa G:

he gets rather angry there!

Ashwani:

nice
