Joan Delmont:

The kid is so cute... lovely

Juan Calderon:

good establishing shot.
first character in white who's starts talking. needs more head movement when he's speaking, think about the animation rules slow in and slow out, follow thorough. he also need his eye brows to work in conjunction with the eye blinks, listen to the vowel sounds as cues when to have a head move up and when to move down. this will help in the creation of the characters personality, this also works for the the other two characters, strong vowels are key sounds for head gesture as well as hand gesture.
second character to speak needs a better reaction in his face, he keeps the head tilted down throughout his lip sync, their should be an accent with a quick head movement gesture to create a a mood of surprise.
Now, as for the child I like the lip sync there could be more head work but it looks ok, a suggestion for the kid would be have him open his eyes, 12 frames after he says the last word.
I do love how you did the shots it really worked nicely you gave enough time for audience to focus on the characters before they started talking, which I myself feel I should have done on my piece.
Another thing remember not get to fancy on all of your sets, I assume these were model;s that were already made, like dishes and table, if not don't waist to much time on modeling, concentrate on your performance , thumbnails and storyboard layout, very important, before jumping into the computer.

Noah Arntson:

Damn I want to eat that turkey it looks so well rendered/shaded it salivates my mind. I liked your classic setting of prayer and feasting. The the classic great art in history employs this-seems like. Your lip sync needed some more time working on.

Ken Rice:

Good effort - I like your characters. However seems under animated to me (too much background/foreground clutter). Lip sync needs a lot of work.

JAEHYUN PARK:

Nice Job!!!

Nate Lane:

Cool man. It's looking pretty cool. One thing that you could maybe work on is the communication of whats happening. I'm just now sure what they're doing with their eyes closed... praying? hehe, anyways, keep it up man. I love all the little props. Those are awesome :D

Janarthanan:

Nice idea...needs improvement on lip sync..jerks in the blue character at begining..the mischievious axn of the kid is not getting registerd..

Eric Huelin:

Turned the audio of a surf crash into lightning but when lightning is heard faintly you've already have seen the lightning seconds ago. The gag would work better if it was human body parts. Unless you're a cannibal you don't eat bodies.

Ashwani:

good work

Mike Courtney:

work on lip-sync, the different character personalities are great

Andy Bewernick:

Feels very linear, lip synching feels off as well.

Damon Smith:

More eye movement would've been nice!

deepak:

interesting characters. finger movements looks nice. but the body and the head looks jerky.

James Fearn-Wannan:

Hm. I'm not sure about the posing.

jonas bech:

that kid is ugley :D

Ramesh Koruturu:

good
