Kai Huai:
The lip sync for life seems like light.
Clayton Miller:
Great job! I'd like to see her left hand move a bit more at the beginning, and both hands move somehow at the end.
Deanna Bishop:
Solid animation! I love the bit around "a life" where its juggling the hands! I wish more could be done with the eyes. The brows seems to be the the same throughout.
Shahbaaz Shah:
I really liked " a life" great gestures in here. Sweet!I might add too...I know it looks like man which may be throwing me off, but the acting does feel very masculine to me for some reason...
Dan Dulberger:
Wow. Just the right amount of drama. Lots of feeling in this clip.
Isaac Hingley:
The sync is a bit off right now at "I'm living in" at the beginning of the shot also at "live" the last word in the shot.
Dwarakanath Jnaneswar Ekkirala:
all accents are slowing in or easing in to the poses and that seems to water down the performance a bit for me, IMO.. may be strong accents like "Life" could use some overshoot and settle.. Other than that, it looks pretty good. Also, remember to make the mouth poses asymmetrical! Rock on man!
Lauren Wells:
Love 62-115 gesture. 128-142 the head feels a little choppy, like hits a wall. Really good work!
Ryan King:
The animation is nice and fluid, but the mouth for the lip synch seems a little washy. The important parts of the dialog seem to melt into the other words. There is no emphasis on anything. The things that stand out to me are the W's. They are there but they aren't that emphasized so they kind of seem like just a trasition between what is before and what is after.
Aaron Clement:
Good, a little floaty, though
Gregory Marlow:
pretty good animation but not very interesting.
Alonso Soriano:
nice work with the shoulders and hands. Head works well too. Actually my main concern is that the staging doesn't favor the face enough. Also I think the mouth could be a bit snappier.

John T. Coomey:
hey this is pretty cool. just watch the posing of the screen right hand, try fet in some negative space between the forearm and upper arm and maybe the other arm too
Christiaan Moleman:
I think the overlap is too big on the left hand at 113... otherwise very nice
miles southan:
Looks pretty good! You need to keep an eye on your arcs. Check out the nose between 105 and 120. Also the eyes (and eyebrows) feel pretty dead. Your timing could be a lot snappier in places. Your not hitting the Fs too well in the lip synch.
Gianmichele Mariani:
Dialogue seems a little late. Good job!
Virgil Mihailescu:
wow, this one looks really cool. I'm not exactly sure what the right hand does. the lipsync is good, except for some Vs and Os. but the body animation flows really well. the acting is very logical and expressive.
P Walters:
Nice movement. the lips seem just a bit off but overall pretty good. Head/neck or back seems to start to come back to quickly on "a life".
Taber Dunipace:
Very nice smooth animation, good choice of poses and progression throughout the animation. Could have had a little more detail within the acting, such as secondary action on the smoking hand.
Pascal Immerzeel:
I like the head movement around 'life', subtle and in the right place.
Robert Tighe:
Lovely. Nice contrast in the hands. I don't like the hand in front of the face from this angle.
Mike Courtney:
Nice work on the spine in the beginning, but it dies off at the end.
Wesley Ferino:
Nice work....the only thing i would fix is the twinning going on at the end of the shot.
Carlos Fins:
A little too dramatic, I think..but the execution is nice. Good work!
Kyle Mohr:
I like the head movement and expressions you have going on, as well as the spine variations. The only thing I'd possibly suggest is to lower the hands to the table at the end, or break up that outstretched/palm up arm poses another way. Good work!
luis veiga pumar:
the lipsync neeeds work on it, feels just out, and some mouth shapes to big.
body movement is good, but the end feels a bit to dramatic for the way the character speaks.
Aziz Kocanaogullari:
very nice timing and connection between the movements and the emphasis on the words. maybe a little bit more exaggeration could be nice.
Dylan Maxwell:
it puts the lotion on it's skin!
Sorry, it's cool, Sync needs touch ups.
Jett Atwood:
NICE. The fingers of the right hand feel a little futzy at the beginning but that's a minor quibble. The beats and performance feel spot on. I don't understand the point of a cigarette as a prop since you don't do anything with it, but overall it feels really good.
Jason Campbell:
Watch for mirroring across the pose, mix up finger position and spread to the arms when doing similar actions with both arms. Lip sync needs polish.
