Marco Palmieri:

Very nice. Love the concept. Maybe it could do with some more overlapping actions. The second guy is great! the first guy's reaction is a bit linear and stiff. You could try softening the arcs on his head and adding some overlap.

Amy:

That very subtle eye movement where he looked down just slightly to see the kid before the double-take was great. His expression was perfectly set to his speech. You have very good moments throughout, but the last shot of the kid on the tricycle feels a little out of joint/sudden, since his first reaction to seeing them was dropping the pacifier from his mouth. He seems a little too happy all of a sudden.

A.J. Black:

Great work, saw this in the WIP forums last week and I must say, you got all of your actions working great. The expressions and facial movements are really consistent with the pace of the clip. Good luck!

kemal kemal:

I realy like this. To critique, I think the 1st guys reaction to seeing the kid is a little over the top to whats heared in the dialogue. And the 2nd guys "bodys" is a little extreme.

Akif Kucet:

Great Story.(Especially camera angles are compatible with story.)Facil Animations are relastic.Good Luck!

Erik Westlund:

Really nice use of staging to play up the humor. Nice accents in speech with second and third characters. First character's lip sync is a bit soft and a clear sense of rhythm and accent. Perhaps boy should be rolling to a stop when we see him. Nice finish with door and body.

Dian Anggraini:

Love it =D

chloé:

Excellent ! Very good interpretation.

Joan Delmont:

Perfect interpretation of the sound ! felicitation !

Jerome Escobar:

This is great my friend !
Good luck !!
Dje

Guneet:

Brilliant

Mark Persson:

Really good idea, story, reaction, lightning, movement, and lipsync!

Most of it are just great, but i dont like the gaps around the arms, legs and the spine when you have come at this point.

Best!

Kay Ma'Ani:

Love it! thought it was brilliant.....poor kid! lol

great work

Nate Lane:

That's simply awesome man. Watched your progress on this one, it's really awesome to see that it turned out so well. Woooo! I also have to say I really love the camera angles and lighting. Very well done

Jason Walling:

You need to light up the faces a little more. I remember the animation from your entries in the forums and I like them a lot, especially the black guy's, but I couldn't see it this time.

Andrew:

awesome. second character's lip sync is spot on. animation on a whole is excellent

Noah Arntson:

Very creative!

Jarrod Anderson:

Great animation and a fantastic story! I only have a small critique - he seems to notice the boy a little earlier than the sound lets on. Perhaps give it a couple more frames until we see that recognition, or make the double take a little stronger to shift when that change occurs.

Eric Huelin:

Hits: Good gag, attractive layout well acted.

Misses: The kid didn't just materialize so the spelling guy should be more distracted away from the entrance and for a longer period until the toddler has time to stroll in to be more convincing.

Avner Engel:

Wow, this one turned out really well!

The cut to the baby after the frist character talks made it much better.

Great effort there, keep rocking!

Gill Frank:

Cool!

Ken Rice:

good animation - just wondering if there's too many camera positions?

Sergey B.:

:))

Alex C:

I enjoyed this, particularly the gunman's reaction to seeing the kid. I think it would benefit from more suble movement instead of the mostly static poses when the characters are not talking. Nice addition with the body appearing at the end.

Mayank:

Concept is good

Nicolas Fourcroy:

Good acting !!! Good camera view and good punch.


Janarthanan:

good work..lovd the way u have concieved ur idea...
but culd have workd more on the green guys attitude..looks normal..

Prashant:

Nice work Dude....
I like story and presentations and and subs tel animation is really nicely done ....

Brad Silby:

Nice set up, but I think I prefered this when it was playblasts as it was clearer. The lip sync needs some work, some of the shapes swim into the next one, esp. on Y - S of BODYS. The safe crack scene looks a bit too dark to me, makes it hard to see the guys facial anim, plus I didn't notice him in the background in the first scene.

Nomercy:

nice work,,but some contradictions in kid's action..

David Trudel:

Good job!
I really like the reaction of the first character when he see the young boy by the door.

Amanda Gil:

OMG I love it! If you have invented this without watching the movie, you're a genious! The lighting is awesome, the camera shots, the acting, the composition and everything!

Maybe don't need to put the black guy in the first shot, cause it is readeable if you don't know who the first guy is looking to until the shot of the second guy. the animation is brutal.

Mike Courtney:

nice work

Nicholas Palmer Kelly:

i think you could push the lip sync on your SL character more...i just don't feel the line is coming from him...

Gregory Naud:

Great animation and concept. Only comments is that sometimes parts are completely static. Good job man;)

Andy Bewernick:

Very good, one of the top contenders. The thing that drops from the kids face is cool, and the body coming from the closet is an excellent touch.

Renato:

really like this one....good work!

Guillaume Roux:

THANKS la PECHERIE for the rendering and BIG UP Mathias pour le speed lighting ;)

Ben Hatton:

Finally a reason to spell "bodys"! Very nice. The kid's initial reaction is not consistent with his confidence at the end. Body in the cupboard is great, maybe a little more could have been made of this, but the timing of the fall is spot on.

Jonathan Asselin:

Very funny and awesome timing! Maybe a little static at some points for my taste, but overall this is great! I really enjoyed the lypsinc being "in action", the criminals doing something else before the first eye contact between them. It's a story that I feel really happened because of this. The quote fits the general idea perfectly. I didn't expect the last extra touch with the arm! Very original! Way to go!

Santiago Montenegro:

I think.. when the gun man discover the kid it could be more exaggerate

Traci Plagmann:

I really like your setup here.

The animation is really nice. I love the safecracking character. He works really well. The little move he does when he says "bodies" is really sweet.

The first character's lipsync seems a little late in the first part. It feels like he hits the frozen part a little too soon and holds it a little too long.

Overall really nice job!

Ryan Chan:

Love all the reactions of the characters! The timing of the first "take" seems a little off... or it's too much or something. But everything else looks great. Nice subtle animation.

yoozco:

nice one, great kid char :) awesome for me. my favourite this month

Ramesh Koruturu:

good work

Ben Harper:

Very nice work. the imaginative context really sells the characters too. I love the expression of the guy when he see the kid at frame 65. it really suits the pause in the audio.

Jason Smith:

I really like this one! Nice job.

Ashwani:

very good work

James Fearn-Wannan:

Great! Very well done.

The point where he notices the kid feels a little premature but, given the sound clip, I guess there's nothing you could have done about that.

Christopher Salamat:

great idea. pretty good execution. i think you should hold the reaction of the first character of when he sees the kid to when he actually says "uh" so that it'll seem the reaction is causing him to say "uh" great job

Juan Carlos Valdez:

great!

Stefano:

Nice stuff man. I've seen your WIP and I would suggest to change a little bit the lighting on the black character to highlight the facial animation, which was pretty subtle and sweet

Garrett Woodley:

Great upper body movement throughout. lack of lower body or core movement is noticeable. some wieght adjustment could really flesh this puppy out. Great job.

SamoRa G:

Def like this wun!!

Nathan Jent:

I didn't notice the 2nd guy in the first shot. Maybe he could be lit up a bit more. Pretty good acting. Made me chuckle.

ArunVijayan:

decent work.......this resembles the movie Incredibles.....:) i like the main character's animation.....

Emmanuel:

I suggest leaving the kids pacifier's on until he talks. Then when he begins to talk, make him take out the pacifier or optional, leave it on. Really good animation!

zach rahman:

very good concept and really well done lip sync with excellent poses. not random at all and fit well in the scene. very nice!

venkatesh:


characters animation poses fine but characters facial expressions is 100% not good may be 50% have to improve jaw movement after that coming good looking

Paul Naas:

Minor crit - in the final shot, if you'd had the door slowly opening as the kid delivers his line, with the same body fall at the end, it might be a bit funnier. As it is, that action seems tacked on. Overall, very nice. Great camera angles, nice setup, good use of the pauses in the audio.

Andy Simpson:

good timing and animation.. good resolution

Dennis Zeitz:

Outstanding! I love the way that the pause is used in the visual story.

Juan Calderon:

good piece
I like how you gave the the character by the safe. you did a nice job with the accent, in fact you gave it a double take, which really makes it look sudden.
the gun character does well in his performance, but his reaction tend to be to soon, maybe he shouldn't do an accent or a surprise reaction, he should just look forward with his eyes peel then on the second shot we still see him with his eyes peeled and scale down the iris of the eye, it creates the illusion of concern. and when we see the over the shoulder shot make sure we see a blink it helps us feel that he's still alive
you did a great work with eye blinking which is something is something I have seen other clips have problems with.
good job.

the baby you seem to get out of character at the end, remember that the kid is shocked on the first take , but then on the second shot he seems happy as he spells the word, he should still have the shocked horrified personality as he spells the words, not a smile or happy face

Michael Cawood:

The layout in this scene is really nice. It would just be nice to see some more motion in the bodies, especially the guy holding the gun, when he reacts. I'd also like the see the safe cracker using a few eye darts and furrowing of his brow at 185 to show us that he's decoding what the gun man has just said.
