Matt Hirengen:
Great animation! just to nit pick, I'd get rid of the first shot.
Igor Medovshikov:
His head seems to point towards camera but his eyes look in different direction.
Sunny Kharbanda:
Great animation on the father.. you've managed to give him real emotion and believability!
I wonder... is the spelling of "Principle" an intentional pun, or a typo?
Olivier Ladeuix:
the layout of the 2 shots don't seem to work together for some reason. Nice work though
Matthew:
After frame 270, the acting looks like it was acted with the face as an afterthought. The acting isn't subtle enough for the facial expressions.
Chris Niewinski:
Principle should be spelled principal.
natalie:
Very correct.
Erik Griott:
this is really nice, but i think the opening shot is unnecessary.
David Higgins:
Not keen on the pose on 'acknowledge that' but the rest looked good
Guo WenZHeng:
nice!!!!!!
Srujith kumar Ogirala:
concept is ok but you need to work on animation
Walker Sultzbach:
This is hilarious!
Daniel Erwin:
HAHAHAHA!!! "POO HEAD!!"
childish humor is classic... it really take you back... :D
nice stuff... i like what the kid is going through... nice subtleties. it really works great for the story and it doesn't take away from the focus of the father.
i would have the father have a few more blinks here and there, his eyes seem like the are open most of the time and when i mock his performance i find my eyes start to dry out, like i feel like i should be blinking in some parts... just a thought... it could take away from his intensity, so you might want to make them fast blinks...

This is a great effort, the motions ar fluid and natural. You paid great deal of attention to overlap. First time watching it I missed the "Principal Office" sign on the door (a close up would have read better), and what is wrtitten on the piece of paper, whic took away from an otherwise great work.
David Jonson:
I like you style!
Barnabas Boehler:
Hmm you mispelled "Principal's" or did you want to spell it "Principles' as an Animation pun?
I love the gesture for "maybe" and "acknowledge" . Great acting choices and great joke--the only part I would change is where he's looking down and you can't really see his mouth moving.
Martin Silfvast:
nice work
Noah:
This is one of my faves this month, and I really like your acting choice on "and once you acknowledge that". I only have a couple small issues. I think the ways he whips his head around on the line "my son has a gift" seems a bit too big. You're getting into that pose too violently and punching the word "gift" too hard for how low-key the guy's voice still is at that point. I also think his head movement on "we'll have something to talk about" feels less natural than it could be since you kind of have 3 poses over that one phrase, two of which are similar (I'm looking at frame 295, 316, and 334). His head feels like its sort of ping-ponging between those two angles. It's a little too much movement for me considering how tense and quiet the voice sounds at the time.
Jared K:
Wrong "principle" (should be "principal") -- a school would have an apostrophe before the "s" as well.
Better at what?
G. Smith:
Great animation but keep in mind that a simple misspelling will take everyone's attention away from what you're really trying to show. (Principal*)
kEViN:
great performance!
Ashwani:
good
Frank G:
Not sure the introductory camera zoom in on the door was needed. Good acting once we got in the room.
