The guy's sheepish expression at the end is awesome. I think the girl's body language is a bit overdone and the camera cutting is a little late, but overall great job!
Fernando Porcel:
Nice work.
The hit action on the first part distracts from the dialogue. I´m more interesed on what happend with the object on the girl hands, and dont read the emotion on she.
The girl overact a bit. The last expression of the girl is more like a "uppss I am a bit silly" than an innocent, only a comment. Again, nice work, cheers!!
Barnabas Boehler:
The starting shot is confusing because we see the one character swinging a bat in the corner then he dissappears. I think it would be much better if you just got rid of that and had him at the end.
C. Ben Snell:
I got a little confused. Didn't get it at first, and completely missed the cricket bat.
SamoRa G:
i really like the ending =D
Steve Schultz:
Very good character personalities. Great job!
Cameron Huber:
Too much movement on the girl... the guy is a lot stronger though. Nice effort!
Ken Rice:
Good animation - I just don't think the start works. Is a cricket bat being knocked out her hands by a baseball bat? She doesn't flinch when that happens.
Adam Waters:
maybe instead of a push-in, u can cut to the girl talking. keep working hard :)
Lavendra Love:
when man is playing with baseball bat then why you have shown cricket bat in her hands; you not shown contact of ball when he strikes in frame 40 ball appears in scene and frame 44 its gone away there is no contact with bat ;
after all expressions at last are good
Jonathan Asselin:
Some solid poses! Way to go! :D
Ian Jacobson:
Not sure I like the camera move.
Stephen Dahler:
nice job!!, her eyes are little odd kinda looking all over which is weird. get work on the guys part
Sean Burgoon:
Not bad for the girl, but the guy's reaction after delivering his line doesn't make sense to me. Make sure the emotions you're delivering make sense for the clip and character, and I wouldn't try to add extra emotion or action that isn't implied by the audio. It generally ends up feeling forced and out of place. Keep at it!
Mike Courtney:
the hit happened so fast I had to watch it again to catch it, maybe stretch out the action between frames 43 and 44
jodie:
Cool piece you have here. The piece is overall pretty clear. . It appears that that he is hitting the paddle out of her hand. Part of that has to do with the camera angle you chose. The other half has to do with the fact that she reacts at the same time as her. You want to either have her react earlier if she is aware that he is going to be swinging the bat or later if she is just realizing he is batting when he swings. In general, you want to delay a character moves when they are reacting to another character's actions since it takes time for the characters to process the info in the brain and make a choice of what to do. I probably would lose the camera angle as it doesn't really add to the shot, and you miss an opporitunty to show what the guy is doing while she says her line. Is he listening, playing ball, etc. I like the batter standing with the bat supporting him. It would be nice to see the bat move around abit as he shifts his weight. Also keep that right hand connected to his hip. And last don't have him react suprised at the same time as the girl gasps for breath, delay it.
Omri Navot:
Your animation is good, technically. But the character is really overacted and not very focused.
Andre de Villiers:
Great characters! Slightly overanimated in the beginning. The first camera needs adjusting and the zoom is destracting.
Ashwani:
yeah its funny also
chloé:
Not bad. But it will be better to respect the skin of the character. Sometime, they are too deformed.
Zee Myers:
Some nice moments. Like the extra animation on the guy at the end, although his pose doesn't seem right, it looks more like he has to pee than if he's leaning on the bat :)
Andrew:
i like the two expressions at the end
