Joey Shabadoo:

Is he passing gas at the beginning? If so, that's probably not a good way to go. The devil's delivery of the line doesn't match the tone of the dialogue.

James Lane:

hahaha, great idea!

Dan:

I like the character, worked into a funny scenario. good job!

kEViN:

Try to keep the context of the scene in mind. The devil's perfomance/attitude doesn't match the voice. I get what you were going for but it just doesn't work. It could have been funny if the devil was less evil and more apologetic and sympathetic like in the audio clip.

Johnny Castuciano:

Awesome!

Kamal Bhattacharjee:

Good job dude...........

Cameron Huber:

I didn't quite understand the Devil's reaction when he said "I made you short?" - the line is delivered in an inquisitive nature whereas he gives us this evil grin as though he intentionally made him short. That part threw me off a little but generally it was a cool edge to the clip!

Ben Van Dyken:

I thought this was a really strong piece... I really liked the contrast between the chubby pig guy and the devil character. The only thing I felt didn't quite work as well was the extreme gestures of the devil guy when he says his line...took me out of it. Maybe it would have been stronger if he maintained the same composure and attitude portrayed in the previous shot. Keeping it more controlled and deliberate. Otherwise, really nice job!

Lenka Zuckova:

I like the pig character, Good timing and he is not overacting. Only the Devil sounds like he is confused and not upset.

Louis Ng:

Cool stuff. My main grouse is that the demon sounds too gentle to be a demon. I expected a low growl instead.

Jeroen Koffeman:

nice set.

Caleb Drewel:

models and everything are nice, good stuff

Mike Courtney:

that step seems really exaggerated without a purpose

Niels Beekes:

Nice characters! Acting is quite alright too

Émylie:

nice work,... how ling did it take you for all that?!:P looks good!

John Vassallo:

First shot is kinda distracting, theres a few too many poses, especailly in the hands of the fat guy, the emotion of the devil character seems a little off when he says I made you short.. Nice work though.

Jason Fugh:

11 stars: good timing

Aaron Clement:

Wow, this feels just a game trailer. Do you work in games? I like it overall.

Paul Naas:

Nice! Feels like a short film.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

Really nice character on the main one. I didn't quite like the acting choices on the devil, he doesn't appear to be saying the line with that intention. Also you cut out "look at me" in favor of a shot of the devil that doesn't really communicate much. You've got some nice moves on the main character but you might push the poses some more building of to "thing" he seems to run out of steam. Good job nontheless.

danyeal:

woa supercool characters. but i think the fat on his body moves too much. doesnt look right. and i dont think u need this first shot. just start with him closeup

Paulo Clayton:

Still wondering what's the deal with the Christmas penguin... lip sync from the Devil character doesn't ~quite~ match up, esp. on "short." Other than that, fantastic.

miles southan:

Good job! I'm not sure what the pig's doing at frame 54. Holding his foot? The finger animation feels stiff. I think you could do a lot more with the brow poses on the pig too.

Bader Badruddin:

in terms of layout very good job....

Rob:

Interesting take on the dialogue, but the aggressive body language of the devil doesn't seem to fit with the sympathetic tone of the line he's delivering. Get the fat character moving around a little, he feels like his feet are bolted to the floor.

Frank Collazo:

nice

Taber Dunipace:

Very confusing scene with a lot going on. Keep studying the principals.

Frank G:

The gesture on "insecure" wasn't insecure. Nice acting on the Devil. Totally uncaring.

David Trudel:

wow! you put so much work on that. good job!

Spencer Jones:

Devil was very good animation

Timothy Doolen:

Nicely done, the acting is the highlight (ok, maybe the models). My critique is that the devil opens his mouth too widely on the "o" of "short" and it looks like he's making more of a "a" phoneme.

Dan Harriman:

A more anguished pose would have been great when he says "thing". And the whole scenario is a good idea.

Norman Anderson Previdelli Lemes:

The devil is great!!!!
