Jesse Colucci:

I think the guys disapproving expression is great and the setup is very funny. The face could use some more expression to emphasize the dialog, and the movements seem a bit to pose-to-pose. It would also be nice to see a reaction from the guy after she says thank you. Good job!

Ken Rice:

Found myself looking at the guy throughout your animation (because he was doing more I think) - I feel the focus should be on the girl. The girl could do with some moving holds as she freezes sometimes.

Ashwani:

good

thomas reardon:

Concept is very funny, his responses seem a little vague though. Bump up his reactions, he needs to be more ot the comic .

Andrion Becker:

Try getting more of the body involved throughout the animation

Santiago Arellano:

Nice idea with the homeless guy, but the action needs more work, so far the poses are very superficial. My recomendation: more reference

Andre de Villiers:

Fresh idea, nice. The girl needs more energy! Graph editor...smooth them curves!

Christiaan Moleman:

You need to be careful not to freeze the rest of the body when doing smaller moves. Everything's connected.

Amdbcg:

main character is stiff towards the end

Santiago Montenegro:

Awesome Idea!!! jeje really fun.

Parker Simmons:

Characterization is good, but the animation lacks a certain fluidity.

Chris Burel:

Cool idea, but to have the homeless guy moving while the girl is talking gets distracting. Some cuts to tell you what to focus on would help for this.

Mike Courtney:

try adding some moving holds

Brad Regier:

Fun concept.
You might try making the homeless guy's posture and mannerisms be more "homelessy." But you've got the dignity down pat, that's good.

Kenny Roy:

It is very difficult for a viewer to know what to look at and when. Separate your broad gestures more cleanly, and emphasize only the character that you want us to be watching.

Mark Persson:

Very good work! But need more work on it!

You have all the basic movement on the girl; body movement, face and lipcsync expressions. And now it need to be smoothen out so she become more alive!
Make here hand movement some wider when she waving around..... hmmm...
When i looking at the anim the homeless is the target here....dont u think that its better that she is the target?.....in that case try to make so she become it.
i think she needs to show more how she thinks, act and want (even if the homeless dont care).

Keep up with good work!
