Jeffrey Lee:

Looks great. very fluid. But i think you're over animating. I know as an animator we all tend to do crazy cartooney stuff. but remember to just take it easy once in a while. subtle is nice too. also i think you have a frame rate problem because the sound clip sounds a little high pitched and everything is moving really fast.

Andy Hass:

Wonder how the audio got sped up like that.

Tash:

I really enjoyed the plot behind this animation, and its excellent background to accompany it!

C. Ben Snell:

Like it, but not sure about his reaction.

Charles H:

I like the lighting

Ken Rice:

nice animation - did I spot a Woody pose in there?

SamoRa G:

thats a gd ieda... =D

Steve Schultz:

Awesome body movements, but it seems like the audio is a little sped up.

Phil:

Is it me or this one runs faster than the others?

Cameron Huber:

Too many acting choices for the girl. I felt you could have done without "very far and long tonight". Right now it just feels like there's too much to keep track of. If she's meant to be scared and nervous, it doesn't feel that way until she says "nobody's been very nice to me" - where she curls up and becomes introverted - that works nicely. Be careful of the guy stepping towards her, at the moment it feels slidey. I'd also lose the gag where he becomes smirky off camera... it's a little confusing. A pretty cool setup though! keep polishing :D

Barnabas Boehler:

Nice background scene..

I think you've got some good ideas here...but the female's animation and gestures feels a little too big and fast. I personally think it would be better if it were toned down quite a bit

Ashwani:

funny & very dramatic

Andrew:

they're so springy! i like it though. good arcs

Lavendra Love:

poor lights and background but good to see fast acting poses in proper manner

Nick Hales:

nice but a little over animated i think

Alessandro Pandolfi:

The biggest problem is that the entire scene appear to be "over-animated"...maybe some pauses can help you, focusing on less movement done better.

Pete Shand:

very nice animation, i'd just becareful of some of your acting choices, around 117 it starts looking like a bit of a dance routine.

Jonathan Asselin:

A little too much! :D
But still fun to watch! Keep it up!

Olivier Ladeuix:

try to go for something a bit less overacted. The character are moving all over the place and I find it really offputting. You have a lot of energy, keep going.

Parker Simmons:

It's just a bit over the top.

But that's a good place to start. Better to start big and pull it back than the other way around.

I'd also think about camera placement to make the characters more interesting. As it is I tend to lose track of them in the darkness.

Angelo Sta. Catalina:

shes alittle jumpy there isnt she.. good work

jodie:

I like the

Stephen Dahler:

lookin good!!! id say the overall body movements are a bit to active, tone it down a bit and youll be golden!!

Gregory Marlow:

Too many gestures

Curtis:

Hey nice work. A little over the top with the acting. Sometimes a little says a whole lot more. You have both characters moving on every beat of the dialogue. Although it was executed fairly nicely.

Sean Burgoon:

Overall good idea (very similar to mine, so I'm kind of bias). The animation is a little wobbly (seems like a little bit too much overlap at times) and kind of all over the place, if that makes sense. You have the girl moving a lot more than the dialog seems to imply she would be moving, and the actions look forced. I would really focus on the acting in blocking next time. Good work though. Practice makes perfect :)

Mike Courtney:

nice work

Omri Navot:

nice poses, timing is way too fast & frantic

Andre de Villiers:

Good style! Careful of overanimating. Lose the guy's head nod.

deepak:

could've given a different character attitude coz though both are completely diff but their action looks similar.

natalie:

Too much.

Joan Delmont:

Too much moves....

Virgil Tanasa:

too much movement, tone it down a little bit...
also watch out for the girl's expressions, they're almost unnoticeable, hard to see any changes in thoughts/feelings.
otherwise, pretty good work.
