Animator: J Saunders

Description: I wanted to do something that I don’t often see in amateur animation, mixing both classic and 3D. I love both forms and would like to do more of this "hybrid" in my work.

Experience: 2 years of school

Frank Collazo:

the lip sync off

Louis Ng:

The lip sync needs some work. Seems a bit 'floaty', needs some weight.

I like the idea of the bottle talking. It's a good one!

Aaron Clement:

I like the 'Toy Story' blink part way through. The black background kinda detracted from it, however... needs better timing.

Christopher Alarcon:

The animation is really good, I can see that you were focusing more on the lip sync and face expression due to me thinking that the model is a default for animators to experiment on. The hand movement when he says "Short" kind of let me down when it wobbles o the screen but overall i thought it was good, keep up the good work

Charles Eubanks:

You have some good ideas in here... I think the performance could be improved with tighter lip sync and more snap in his motions.

Niels Beekes:

I like the blinking that's not at the same time! Makes him a bit more drunk-looking.

Matthew Brophy:

your timing is off for fat and toward the end the animation needs to be faster. around frame 140 the eyebrows feel like they are moving with out reason its to much

sharad kumar:

hi...this is pretty good concept you took.But animation needs to be refined here..try to match the lip sync,more up and down movement of the eyebrows...u can avoid so much of a time difference in the eyeblink when he says 'I am short.'
And in the end,as the bottle is heavy ..it needs to go down faster,u can work on the timing there.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

The animation is very floaty, push and hold the poses some more.

danyeal:

little too much on some movements and expressions

Johnny Castuciano:

I like the drunkness

Taber Dunipace:

Floating CGI timing and poses. Study the principals.

Ralph Pacheco:

Had some really good stuff happening here. A number of really nice poses. Lip syncing needs a bit more polish.

Guillaume:

Choose your battles, work on phrasing and deciding where is the climax in the voice recording or monologue.

Frank G:

I think it's a bit disturbing how many of we animators choosing the talking bottle. It makes a complete story, however. This piece is well acted. Gestures/poses on 'adorable' & 'middle -aged' weren't clear on meaning. The 'insecure' gesture is a ripsnorter.

Renn:

Animation is very... um... floaty? The exaggeration of the figure's movement works quite well, but the dropping of the bottle at the end doesn't quite work believably. And lip sync could use a little work.

Nicely done!
