Jeffrey Lee:

You're animation is fluid which is good but I think the main issue is that you're trying to incorporate too many poses in such a short amount of time. One of the greatest advices I ever got in animation was "move as least as possible." because everyone tends to over animate. Cheers and good luck.

David Alvarez:

Umh too much movement in my opinion, I would also get ride of the final camera movement. Anyway congrat for your entry.

Tash:

I think there is some good animating skill in this animtion- Good work

Ken Rice:

Really good effort - however there are some strange unnatural movements going on between your characters.

Steve Schultz:

Awesome!! Very good body movements. The only thing I would change and its not that big of a deal, is I would bring the girl a little closer so you can see those body movements better. Other than that its really good.

Mark Persson:

Nice done! Needs zoom in a bit so it becomes easier to see her movement and lipsync. Love the depth in the anim and the blessing look of her in the end!

Keep up with the good work!

Cameron Huber:

Be careful of using too much overlap over too many frames. It happens mostly on the guy, especially when he's unfolded his arms. Generally the moves are good but the timing is too slow, giving them a floaty feel. I also felt that when the girl takes a few steps forward, there was a lack of weight in her hips, as in very little up and down movement to compensate for the feet planting. I think you have some great stuff to work with, it just needs tightening. Good effort!

Pete Shand:

some of the poses didn't really work for me, especially at frame 144 when she almost looks like a hunchback

Ashwani:

good

Lavendra Love:

too much dancing poses

Gunjan Namdeo:

Girl actions are too fast -- 50-70 frames
whereas boy was fine

Angelo Sta. Catalina:

very fluid. good

Santiago Montenegro:

Look for the ik pops

Chris Burel:

Why does the camera move?

deepak:

acting in some places looks dramatic. maybe too many movements in hands which is not necessary. good try

Joe Eagar:

nice, though the poses could use some work, and the arms of the foreground character could be less floppy.

Mike Courtney:

build up some more anticipation for the guy's reaction at ~187

Kenny Roy:

This is on it's way. You've already overdone the number and size of the gestures though. Simplify before you polish!

Andre de Villiers:

Poses are a bit messy, look at you character in silhouette (press 7, with no lights in your scene - Maya), then see if you can read the emotion off the silhouette alone... if it reads clearly you have a solid pose! Careful of overanimating. Don't forget to plan your animation.

Paul Blais:

The "pose" at the end is great.

Joan Delmont:

Funny ! But the animation have a lot of problems of dynamics...
