Santiago Montenegro:
Really good man!
kemal kemal:
Great character design. I like the key poses, I think the 2nd cat is a little behind in his animation.
Marco Palmieri:
some excellent 2D! the staging isn't all that clear to me though, the human feet are not obvious enough. Also the flickering throws off the nice animation. At the start it's hard to see what the cats front paws are doing. Well don . Top 5 for sure.
A.J. Black:
Great work on the traditional. I love the little kid cat character. He's still watching the TV when he is spelling, classic. The facial features and synch are dead on and give a real good understanding of what's going on even without the sound. Good luck!
Andrew:
i really like this. the expressions on their faces are great! nice work
Mayank:
Great work..keep it up
Nicholas Palmer Kelly:
i think the lip sync's a bit off around the middle but who cares.:)..awesome
Dian Anggraini:
So cute <3 Love it =D
Aparna Varma:
i love the fact that u have every character defined..nicely done!
RaJeSh_ToR:
good animation..........!??!
dheer chaudhary:
good one
Noah Arntson:
Coolness, although why is he looking at the TV when responding. Maybe its because he's so enthralled into the TV, but it was somewhat jarring. Perhaps if he looked over his shoulder quick, then zoned back into the TV as he addressed them?
JAEHYUN PARK:
I love this!!! Nice expression!!!
Nate Lane:
Wow man this is really good. Awesome poses, timing, line,... what else? Really well done for sure man. Congrats :)
Andy Menter:
oh this was just beaurtiful!
love the character designs...love the timing...it's just good all around i think!
maybe offset the sound by a few frames cos the lips seemed a little off.
Eric Huelin:
Hits: Smooth animation, nice style
Misses: Spelling cat bobs his eyebrows quite a bit but it still works.
Ramesh Koruturu:
nice
Vanessa Blair:
Fantastico!
Brad Silby:
Very cool. Nice acting, clear staging and not overdone. Only thing is the lip sync seems a bit off? Does'nt feel right on DYS of BODYS, and cat 2's mouth shapes don't seem to hit the words, apart from 'bodies' at the end. Great work though.
Marcio Bukowski:
congratulations.
Really good
Ashwani:
very good work man. keep it up
Sherif Nagib:
I love your characters !
Shannon:
Lovely. Nice, clean poses and excellent acting.
Mike Courtney:
nice work!
Gregory Naud:
Great design and animation, maybe too many eyebrows movements at the beginning.
Jason Smith:
I fricken love it!! GREAT JOB!
Andy Bewernick:
Love the characters, and concept!
Renato:
I just absolute love this one!!
great expressions!
Johnny Chew:
Really great, the only thing I would say is maybe make the body a little more clear, I missed it the first watch through. But really good!
Michael Twentyman:
nicely done
Guillaume Roux:
Awesome animation nice design
Jonathan Asselin:
Just excellent! There's an awesome control over pretty much every aspects!Maybe a better framing would improve the spelling shot... from "B-o-d-y-s" up to the cut. But overall, I'm really impressed! Keep it up!!
Ben Hatton:
Great character designs, though the one on the left looks a bit like a squirrel rather than a cat. I think the paws might be the culprit, they're too far removed from a cat's paws. The human feet in shot one are excellent, but I didn't notice them until second viewing, which then added to my understanding of the expressions of cat2 when he looks to his left. His head movements don't quite match his line, they way he moves down at the end at "bodies?". I like the staging of the last shot - the kitten likes boats a lot :-) Hooray for 2D!
yoozco:
great one, kid with wide open eyes is really brilliant :) good observation of children divisibility :D
Ben Harper:
Very nice work. my favourite so far. I love the eyes and the expressions really get the emotion of the characters across.
James Fearn-Wannan:
Lovely !
Stefano:
Oh, man, I've seen the WIP and it was damn good, but your final work is really awesome!
Great design, great animation and great feel. One of the best animations I've seen on 11second club so far. 10 stars!!
Juan Carlos Valdez:
that was fantastic!!!
Tony Bonilla:
Nice character design... good work!
Christopher Salamat:
great 2d animation!
Lindsay Thompson:
This is fantastic! I love it. Great character design and great animation.
Tim W:
Very nice work! Great job with the expressiveness of the characters.
Emmanuel Vergne:
Love the design of your characters.
Nice rhythm, nice poses.
There is only the shape when he spells "B.O.D.Y.S." on the "Y" that isn't good i think. I would have the mouth going larger (more like a "ee")
Harry G:
The only thing i could notice was it was off sync with the dialoge for all three characters.
Andy Simpson:
nice character designs, and posing.. the camera angles are great. good squash and stretch.. I LIKE!
Taber Dunipace:
The last cut is pretty weird but otherwise this is really nice.
Michael Cawood:
At 160 the taller cat feels like his eyes need some work to really make it seem like he's decoding what the fat cat has said. A few small eye darts and a little more attention to the angle of the eyes would really help.
