11 Second News... great idea! We'll get on that.
Tom Long:
nice visuals but the lip sync seems out.
Andy Hass:
Surreal and disturbing :P
Leon Dexter:
The mouth is very busy, you could cut it down to the key poses. quite nice expression in the face otherwise but because of the shot there's not a great deal of animation going on otherwise. Nice composition though.
C. Ben Snell:
Nice set up.
Steve Schultz:
Great concept, but I think the lip syncing could of used a little more work. Great job!!
Charles H:
I think you are jumping to too many mouth shapes in your animation
SamoRa G:
It looks very nice, i think the lips were moving 2 fast, puttin to many movents...
jodie:
Really creative!!! I like it. I think it would have been more effective though if she were out of the cage. Story-wise she would be asking for help if she was back in the cage. Overall the animation is very good, and you do it with only the head. I would try not hitting every sylllable though. Simplify it. Also you should not hit the accents exactly with the head, move the head before it. It will make it feel natural. And anytime you are going to illustrate something like when she says "no" and shakes her head at the same time, from an animation standpoint it is okay, but from an acting standpoint it makes it appear rehearsed. When she hears the voice off screen, don't have her head float around so much. If you are trying to get her to look away at this point because she has given her rant and expects no one to acknowledge her get her into the turn
away sooner since it looks like she is looking to see the person talking given that she does it at the same time. If she is turning because he is laughing though she needs to do it later to give her time to process his laugh. And you need a take or something when she hears the guys voice and takes it as a compliment to show her change of thought. This is just a suggestion. You know what would be funny is if the camera looked over at the guy laughing and it turned out to be Fang the Tiger outside the cage. It would give you an opportiny to animated that piece of dialog too. Funny piece, very unique!
David Higgins:
Lip sync seemed off. Looked like you were trying to hit every phoneme rather than the dominant ones. Great idea and staging though.
Adam Waters:
great concept, but can be pushed futher and some animation clean up
Barnabas Boehler:
Amzing!
I'm really impressed by the originality of this.
Overall, I think this is excellent...but the head movements seem a bit jerky at some points.
Mariah:
AHAHA!! Hilarious concept!!! Love it!
Lavendra Love:
good facial expressions but why she is thankful when she remains in same condition
sharad kumar:
How much time it took to render? Nice but put more acting into Gori.
Jonathan Asselin:
Very funny and original! :D
Alex:
awesome rendering.. sync seems off ..
Olivier Ladeuix:
interesting idea
Stephen Dahler:
nice!! the mouth is moving a little to much, you dont need to hit every mouth movement, just the key ones. good work otherwise
Tiffany Davern:
I like the creativity on this one! Very nice!!
Andre de Villiers:
Great concept! Pity about the lipsync..
Brad Regier:
great concept!
Mike Courtney:
lip sync isn't quite there
Tim Lobes:
Great ligthing
Kenny Roy:
Really cool idea! To improve the lipsync I suggest really thinking hard about the relationship between the jaw and lips. They move much more independently than I see here. There's almost no such thing as pose to pose lipsync...
Lloyd:
Haha, so weird. Nice concept and set-up, lipsync looks awkward.
natalie:
Cool character but she doesnt seem to fit in this tv context...
Fernando Porcel:
Original approach. Lacks a bit on lip-sync.
Nice work.
deepak:
looks kinda real, the camera motion and rendering are great. u got the taste anyway. lipsing looks off a bit. cool expressions
Ashwani:
nice
Santiago Montenegro:
fun idea!
Andrew:
haha! most original so far!
