Igor Medovshikov:

Funny Idea. Good animation but lip sync needs some work , just look when he says "gift".

Matt Hirengen:

It's a little floaty, but good facial acting.

Ian Jacobson:

Watch your F's, he ought to be bighting his lower lip.

Amdbcg:

hmmm... interesting ...

Carlos Chavez:

the baby moves too linear...good idea touh

Ed. Hull:

Nice facial animation, but son seems quite weightless in Dad's arms.

Daniel Morgan Walsh:

This was awesome! The quality of the lip sync was wonderful. The weight or movement of the baby seemed a bit stiff. But the parent was great.

Tim Roberts:

looks like a heavy baby. nice job.

colus havenga:

it starts of very nicely but then after the cut the baby and hes arms feels very linear and not very refined. this has good potential but needs a bit of finessing

Curtis:

baby needs a lot more weight.

Shon Stewart:

anything is too big of a movement I think. It doesn't feel like hes really holding the baby. Dad's movement need to influence the baby in his arms some more.

Erik Griott:

ok, it doesn't seem like you finished the animation on the baby, and i there is some strange artifacting on the side of the father's face. in addition, i don't see the father's motivation. i don't know why he is there defending his son.

Nicolas Fourcroy:

Hi !

Insert on the face is an excellent idea !

zach rahman:

animate the baby a little bit, other than that its great!

Candace Giancanelli:

right shoulder is locked to camera view

Barnabas Boehler:

Cool work here.

The lipsynch looks pretty good, but I think the arms/baby section feels a bit stiff and IKish. I see some areas where the timing is also fairly even and the arcs could use some work as well.

Mark Homoky:

Beautifully done. Careful lip sync and eye movement. Love the wide eyed stare of the baby son around F91 looking up at dad. This then turns into a slightly worried expression around F200.

Very best of luck!

Martin Silfvast:

the arms has a bit of an IK feel to them

Nate Lane:

Nice work. I like the poses and overall idea a lot. One thing that you could maybe do is fix the baby. It seems that it's just floating around, and isn't being controlled by the arms that it's in. The big person moves and gives these quick poses, and the arms should somewhat reflect that. anyhow great work man, keep it up!

Florent Perrin:

Cool, but you have a problem indicating the weight of the baby, and the two bodies mechanics... Watch out the elbaow controllers too...
It's a shame because the rest is very good job...

Felipe Castanhari:

needs more weight to the child

the child is not moving independet of the father.

But great animation

keep working
