Ethan Cooksmith:

ooo i like. good attitude, i can really feel his anger. second one to get 7 stars (and i've watched almost all of em). the lip sync was only slightly off on a few parts "have ever been at anything" and both gifts

Amdbcg:

good eyes, body is a bit rough

Matt Hirengen:

Really great acting! the lipsynch is a little off though.

Jeremy Schichtel:

sync feels a little wide over all, it never goes narrow

Paul Davis:

Really fluid motions and good expression on the character.

David Higgins:

Would have been better if the other character reacted.

Srujith kumar Ogirala:

animation is ok but there is no reaction for the second character.

Daniel Erwin:

its funny i kinda felt uneasy when he got that close to the other character at the end. (i wouldnt get him that close)

Erik Griott:

very natural performance

Giuseppe:

One of the best subtile animation untill now. I would not close the lower eye lids for so long and so much. Overall, good Stuff.

Martin Silfvast:

good job!

Barnabas Boehler:

Cool!

Looks good

David Jonson:

WOW`````

Noah:

Nice work, only thing that bugs me much is the lip sync. The timing/mouth shapes are a bit off here and there, but otherwise a great piece.

One thought about your eyebrows though... I always find it a little spooky and cartoony when the very outside part of the brows move drastically and independently from the rest of the brow. (looking at his left brow from around frame 257 to 265) That part of the brow can't really move without effecting the rest of the brow/lid area. Look in a mirror and wiggle your brows around and you'll barely see the outside corners move.

Andy Hass:

That is a really nice facial performance, especially with that rig. I would consider engaging the middle brow more (the part that meets the bridge of the nose).

Kevin Gittens:

The partially off screen character doesn't move at all, make him sway a little or something cause now he's just a distraction that's taking up part of the screen.

Florent Perrin:

Subtle acting down there.
Not convinced though, by the change of eyebrowse around 271... It distracts the attention and feels quite unnatural...
But good job, indeed!

Chintan Shah:

Love the acting... great stuff with the facials too.. nice nice nice :)

Brad Regier:

wow, nice acting, facial.!
"He has a gift" could be more punchy.
Last pose crowded too much left

Frank G:

This is the intense-ist... the most intense character animation in the comp this month, in my humble opinion. It's so contained and energetic. Very entertaining. Great eye darts. Big star avalanche!

Mark Homoky:

Would have voted very good had the character on the right moved. Otherwise excellent attempt. Good luck!

James Fearn-Wannan:

I like this a lot. A lot a lot.
