Jeffrey Lee:
very funny.
snehangshu:
the idea was good but needs acting..body language
Tottiperrota:
wow really goood, lip sync needs improvement
Michael Shin:
Very nice concept! The only thing that bothers me is the lipsync, which is a bit slow. I also think the mouth shapes need to be adjust. Nice job!
Manuel Bover:
Nice idea, very funny. Only she needs more intensity in her facial expressions.
Simon Pitts Jr.:
LOL! I like this....
Wes Storhoff:
Hehe, has got my vote for most bizarre
Andy Hass:
Haha, nice and random. If that's the taxi driver I think it is, she might be sorry she pulled a gun on him.
Matt Boehm:
Love the DeNiro reference. Good concept. Needs some work on the lipsync.
Jesse Colucci:
Haha. I like the driver's overall expressions, but it doesn't quite hit when she point the gun at him. The way he looks in the mirror is great. Very nice.
Charles H:
I love the ending!
Cameron Huber:
The gag was funny but I think the guy's expression at the end could have been pushed a lot further. You could probably do without the sideways shot of the guy driving and just keep it to the front. Be careful of the lip shapes on the liberty girl being out of sync and a little on the floaty side. Nice scene setup! Keep going with this!
Cole Lemke:
The first cut seems a little too soon. I think zooming in on the car a bit more before jumping to the next shot would help the flow of this piece.
Ashwani:
good job
Andrew:
nice facial animation. lip sync seems off though
Jon Mummery:
I think the guy driving has the most character out of the two, it's a shame some of the lipsync seems out for the woman. On the whole I really like this piece even though it would have been nice to see you polish the woman character more. Might sound harsh, but would be better for me without the usual (*insert gun/knife) gag at the end.
Lavendra Love:
very poor voice matching
Ken Rice:
good animation - lip sync could do with some work though, this really lets you down.
Andre de Villiers:
Someone's been playing too much GTA4...
Montero:
excellent!
Aaron Schmidt:
Nice staging! The thing that needs a bit more work is the lip synch. The timing is somewhat late, and some of the mouthshapes don't read quite right. The acting of the character's is very good at this point, especially the driver. Keep up the great work!
Jonathan Asselin:
Nice and eerie feeling! It's very original! I find it too violent though, sorry. Good job! :D
Alex:
awesome. "yiah hah" is right on!
Olivier Ladeuix:
I can't help being impressed by the rendering but not too fan of the end joke. I have seen too many end gags with guns and knife, I think I counted 6 this month.
The car seems to be slowing down on the end of the first shot which makes us think that the car is gonna stop.
The girl could benefit from a bit more upper body motion especially before pulling the gun.
At first I didn't quite understand what you were going for with the acting on the Taxi driver then I realised you were going for Robert DeNiro ;-) nice one mate!
On his last expression I would have closed his mouth or brought his lips forward to create a bit more contrast.
Ah on the lip sync, you could try to go for more asymetric shapes.
Very nice stuff especially the De Niro touch.
Ian Jacobson:
I'm not sure that the intro shot is at all necessary. Also, I'm not seeing the female character looking like she could shoot someone...I just don't buy it.
Angelo Sta. Catalina:
haha.. good idea!.. i like it.
Curtis:
Hahah. Nice gag. I like the fact that De Niro is driving the taxi!
Lip sync is way off tho. And some attention to fundamentals would defenitely help.
Nice piece, Keep it up!
Gill Frank:
EXSELENT IDEA BUT need more feel with the animation.
Brad Regier:
Nice rendering, i like the acting!
The next-to-last shot is interesting, but the cut to the final shot is awkward because his head jumps so far across the screen...
Mike Courtney:
work on female's lip sync
Simon Bean:
overall style is great, but the girl's very limited facial acting leave you nothing to watch but the mouth, and some slightly off timing and strange mouth shapes mean the lipsync could work better. The guy's acting is more considered and smoothly executed, but again his lipsync lets him down. Beautiful looking piece, but maybe put all that energy into polishing the acting next time ;)
natalie:
I watched, - I do appreciate the effort but... I (personally) didnt react in any way.
DINJITH:
Good effort..
Tamiko Guthrie:
girls mouth needs improvement
Steve:
the lip sync is a little off, but the concept and polish is brilliant. loved that last twist!
Stephen:
Interesting idea, and very creative use of the models. The lip movements on "liberty" look a little odd. The bit with the gun doesn't make much sense to me.
Zee Myers:
the movement of the characters is nice but the lip sync could definitely be tightened up.
Jonathan Gonçalves:
haha great stuff! original, the best one until now...
