good to see some 2D! not bad, a few repeating poses and not clear who the first guy is talking too.

A.J. Black:

One comment that I have is the kid hand movement on 334. Im not so sure of if he is just trying to cup his mouth to project his voice or what. May need a more substantial pose for his action. Other than that I loved to see some traditional in the contest. Hope that helps and good luck

Dian Anggraini:

Interesting characters. I think you don't need to make the first frame last that long (about 6-8 is enough). At frame 130 maybe you could try looking up/front instead of looking at his hand, it makes me think that there's something wrong with his hand.
At frame 140, is the boy looking at the first guy? If yes then maybe you could lower his pupil a little since their height difference is not that high.
Good job!

Ashwani:

its good

Lindsay Thompson:

Looks pretty good, but I would say the acting was a little lacking in this piece. Just the hands going up when they speak...

Andrew:

good work, but the things that sticks in my mind is the second and third characters raising their hands one after the other. looks strange. other that, nice work

sharad kumar:

good animation with the first character.

Ken Rice:

Nice animation - thought the kid at the end looked a bit stiff though.

JAEHYUN PARK:

Wow...Nice work!!!

Nate Lane:

That's awesome man. Solid poses, really nice line, consistent character drawings, really nice timing. Awesome job man :D

anuraj:

nice animation...improve hand movements......

Eric Huelin:

Hits: Visually consistent, attractive characters, good interactions within the characters.
Misses: The open palm of the spelling guy should be out of the line of his sight so we know that he notices something off screen and not what's in his palm. He should recoil his left arm upon noticing the kid then the scene switch back to his neck rubbing would look more natural. Following the spelling part the arm movements become too stiff.

Andy Menter:

aside from the akward anatomy and the ease into the holds not having an overshoot or anything, it wasn't bad.

Vanessa Blair:

On it's way to being a good animated piece.

Mayank:

Wowwwww.... gr8 work

Mike Courtney:

work on the hand expressions of the characters

Guneet:

Splendid!!

Andy Bewernick:

Really good!

Claudia:

Hey nice job with the 2D.

zach rahman:

its a nice attempt though i'd wish to see more secondary action and follow through. nice work tho

Amdbcg:

nice characters! I like the inflections of the guy on the right - where they look at eachother

Michael Twentyman:

rawk

Jonathan Asselin:

Great designs and patience for drawing those frames! The lifting of the arm of each character so close together in time is a little disctracting for me... Aside that, you did a wonderful job!

Ben Hatton:

Nice approach. First couple of views I thought that guy1 was looking at his hand right before spelling "bodys", so I didn't get that he was reacting to the presence of the younger boy. Surely he would have seen the boy earlier than that, as they're so close together? The spatial relationships are a bit confusing - in shot 1 it looks like they're all very close, but then shot 2 the other two guys are missing. Bit wierd how 2 and 3 both raise their hands at the end.

Sean Graham:

Nice job on the 2D! Anyone doing these tests in 2D get sextra points in my book. he only thing that stood out that I had trouble with was between shot 2 and 3, I don't 'read' that the kid character is a kid really. He needs to be smaller in frame.

dhruv/wattana:

good stuff

yoozco:

good. really good.

James Fearn-Wannan:

I liked this .. I think the first guy moves a bit too slowly, though. And maybe some more thought should go into the hand movements..

Juan Carlos Valdez:

try studying live people when they talk and what they do with their hands. Overall the animation is great

Adam Green:

Hey man, good to see some well drawn 2D stuff in here. You have some appealing characters here and some solid timing and ideas. I'd be careful though about repeating the same hand gesture several times in the same shot. You really dont need either of the last two, really. The acting is coming across without them. Also, I dont know why the little kid looks up in the third shot. It wasnt reading for me. Overall though, this is a good entry. Keep it up!

Garrett Woodley:

good job man! that cut showing the boy could have been longer with the voice off camera.

Christopher Salamat:

very nice facial animation. i think some of the poses should be reworked like on frame 225, move the arm that goes across the body to other side for a stronger pose silhouette purposes. on fram 305 create some negative space between the right characters elbow a body. on frame 335 i don't think you need the child to bring his arm up it looks like he's referring to something small, its a little confusing consider what he's saying. you probably don't need a lot of movement on him while he's talking. Great drawing!

Erik Westlund:

Nice collection of character designs. The staging for the first shot is interesting... why not animate the first sentence using this staging? You could just use the background characters as background. Hand gestures for all characters are a bit generic, especially for the kid. In fact, I don't know why he needs to gesture at all.

Andy Simpson:

great timing.. animation could be smoother. i like the acting

Ben Harper:

Nice work!
