Animator: Steve Brown

Description: Young composer discovers Directors low opinion of his work.

I wanted to give him a bit of a Woody Allan feel, slighty nervous and always thinking.

BrunoDestefani:

Very nice! The lipsync is a little off though. But you captured the emotion very well. Thumbs up!

Nick Hales:

nice poses and facial expressions

Lianna Scrimger:

awesome!! I really dug this approach. You really played off the clip nicely and your posing worked beautifully. I especially thought the hand-wringing fit the mood of the character. It was also refreshing to see a change of character. The pupils made me laugh, he looks like an artist who's been up all night slaving over something. 9* from me! :D

Steve C:

Looks quite nice. I love the hand gestures. I think I would have him looking at the camera closer to the beginning, it's hard to read what's going on from the get go. Good stuff tho!

Jim Collins:

I love the hands and staging

Nate Lane:

very nice poses. I like the feel of the entire thing, can't really point out why, but I like :) keep it up man! (maybe it's the smoothness that I like after watching so many of these portraying robots?)

Brad Regier:

Nice ending.
Too much symmetry in the beginning.

Ryan Lowe:

The lip on mouth gesture doesn't work. Other wise good piece.

Louis Ng:

I love your poses. great job!

Stanley:

You have strong poses. Putting secondary on the head will make your animation even better.

Romain Digonnet:

Wow, very nice. The best so far...

richard fox:

interesting face

Yahya:

This isnt bad. but he looks happy in some parts..should he be?

Jonathan Paquin:

Very nice "stop motion style". I just find his expression a bit off. He looks more happy then exasperated.

prashant rawal:

beautiful...great use of fingers

Kevin Scott:

Kind of posey

Dave Johnson:

I think your animation is great in general, but I would say to watch the twinning on the hands. They're often doing the same thing, and hitting the poses at roughly the same time.

Todd Kough:

Good job, need a little more opposing movements in the arms

Manu Katoor:

great work

John Paul:

works very well...good poses

Thomas Grummt:

nice snappy timing, and strong, clear poses. i find the gestures a bit overacted or theatrical, mostly in the second half.

Erik Westlund:

Nice use of hands with nice hand poses. Hands are being kept too close together for several poses in the shot. Nice pause while he is thinking after the first phrase. Good use of reversals.
