Ashwani:
good
Kay Ma'Ani:
love the kid and how he answers without having to have eye contact with the rest of the characters
Virgil Tanasa:
the central guy feels like a marionette.
also, i'm not really getting the context from your animation, i don't know what is happening with them, what bodies they are reffering to, etc.
JAEHYUN PARK:
I like your character movement...just need to fix lipsync.
Miroslav Maletic:
rk
Willem-Jan L. van Rootselaar:
The mouth moves too much in the beginning. Don't try to form each sound with a shape of the mouth.
A.J. Black:
Great work on the movements and facial. The synch is dead on. The kids little speech is great cause he just can't stop staring at the bodies (It is clearly implied). Only thing I felt off was that the guy that spelled it should be mad at the guy that outright said it. Just my take on it. Hope that helps and good luck!
Eric Huelin:
Hits: Good lighting
Misses: Difficult to know where to focus, spelling guys looks like he's chewing tobacco and his body language doesn't seem natural, middle guy looks like he's about to get kicked, not much going on visually so the characters have to convey the scene and they don't.
Nate Lane:
That;s awesome man. I really feel the characters living and breathing. The only thing that I think you could tweak is the lip syncing of the first guy. It just seems that you dont have the mouth taking shape for the different words, but rather just have jaw movement on that same pose. Just a thought :). Looking great tho man! I really love it! well done for sure :D
Andy Menter:
oh that's just funny!
Jason Smith:
Lip sync seemed kinda weird to me, but I liked the style. Great expressions.
Caryn:
The motion blur is distracting. Try turning it down or even off next time.
Juan Calderon:
good establishing shot. suggestion, the blur effect is to much, it should be more subtle.the first character to speak needs more eye blinks and more eyebrow work, their should be more subtle blinks added the movement of the character is quite smooth and good but when he's speaking his words he seems to have his head tilted back to much, bring it forward a little more. other than seems like you added a nice follow through and nice slow in and slow out.
The second character to speak the one in the middle also could use some blinks during the beginning, his eyes move nicely , but he could use a touch of eye blinks. his body is moving nicely and you seem to have a nice slow in and slow out affect and subtle follow through. when he says, "Bodies" his key poses need some work his performance on delivering the word bodies should have a more strong delivery. remember your vowels, they have a great cue on when to to create more action and when to bring the character down.
The child character I noticed how it only blinked once, try to keep in mind eye blinks and eyebrows they are essential to many character, be careful not to add to many. I love the eye movement it has great appeal on it does give me a sence of him looking at something. and it also creates life and the nice head tilt movement when he starts spelling is a good touch
Sergey B.:
good face expressions
ROMI S PAL:
the second shoulder movement was not needed, it is spoiling the whole animation, remove it, expressions r good.
Mayank:
Awesome..nice work
Janarthanan:
dont repeat axns..make contrasting actions...
poses are all symettry..
Mike Courtney:
nice work
Amanda Gil:
I really like this one! The animation and acting is like a bit violent, but i like it anyways
Pam:
Great lip syncing.
Andy Bewernick:
Like the distant look on the kid. Looks like he is watching tv or something.
Brad Regier:
Good lip sync on the kid.
The SR man: Maybe have him move up only once when he whispers?
Ryan Chan:
I think some of the actions of the characters could be more "snappy" and that can be done by deleting some of the in-between frames and holding the poses a tad longer. Otherwise great job!
yoozco:
simple but nice, sometimes this way is better. imho of corse :]
Santiago Montenegro:
good render and animation
Simon Bean:
A novel approach just dealing with the close up reactions and no gimickry. Good job!
James Fearn-Wannan:
I like it. The acting might be a touch too exaggerated but I don't think it's too serious an issue. I like the way their mouths move.
Martin Bell:
Great facial work, bit static overall though, and I think if you'd revealed what it is they're staring at this would easily win.
David Shum:
Nice job defining the 3 character's personality!
Garrett Woodley:
simple, but what you did animate was animated well
Ben Harper:
Really nice subtle animation. Some of the best facial work i've seen so far. The lip sync is on the ball, and the interaction between the characters is very believable. good work.
Lianna Scrimger:
I like the kid's traumatized look
Andy Simpson:
nice lighting, good acting and facial acting
