Erik Eidukas:

The picture made it difficult for me to focus on the performance. Maybe if the background of the picture was a different color it would not be so distracting.

Luc Degardin:

good things here. Need some work on the lipsynch, but the general attitude is fine to me!

Guillaume Roux:

Some great acting choice, love the first sentence "adorable once"
nice stuff

Mariya Kalachova:

Really nice expression there in the beginning, very realistic and felt. Not sure about so much talking to his hand. Otherwise brilliant!

Frank Collazo:

prefere more body motion

Tim Kings-Lynne:

some nice face acting

watch for cleches and finger detail

beck veitch:

nice animation to the subtext

Louis Ng:

I think you can move the camera up to a higher angle, or maybe track out. Right now he looks like he's going to fall off the screen because he's so low. Overall pretty good animation. :)

Johnny Castuciano:

nice, but "thing" needed a little work

Jeroen Koffeman:

nice one. Bend the hand or wrist to the direction it's comming from at frame 223. The hand movement at FAT is really brilliant!

John Vassallo:

Nice work!

Sunny Kharbanda:

Some nice poses and actions here! Watch the staging though. The clipping gets distracting during the really big poses.

Aaron Clement:

Not too bad. Not sure why the bottom half is cut off. He needed to be higher in frame. I liked the snappy timing.

Matthew Brophy:

your poses were great and the timing also. on this level i would like to see some animation on the fingers for short, it feels stale for a sec there

J Saunders:

really good, one character, but he looks at someone off camera so the scene makes more sence.

David Webster:

Try adding a pose when he says short, he says it with a lot of emotion to not move there. The timing and motion is great on "fat".

Pam:

Not sure why he looks at his hand on 'short' and on 'insecure'. . . seems to connected word to hand, so somehow distracting to the sense of the words. Just my take on it.

miles southan:

Nice work!! "Thing" feels late and the last pose makes him look more frustrated than devastated/upset. The head feels a little too squetchy on "thing" as well. The fingers could use some fine tuning too. Overall, very good work!!

Rob:

I like this... tho having the shoulder of whomever he's speaking to in frame might work a little better than the camera serving as the other person..without some body-part in the shot to give this away, there doesn't seem to be anyone he's speaking to or reacting to.

Really nice poses and animation tho, and the facial expressions read nicely..

Well done!

Andrew Stovesand:

Good animation but the camera is awkward in the beginning... lower it a bit.

Taber Dunipace:

He's interacting with the lower boarder of the screen which is REALLY distracting. Push him past the boarder (not a good idea in this case), or show the desk.

The animation is fairly good, but try to take more care into choosing his actions. These seem rushed.

Roger Feron:

Really good. He seems to lose the intensity of his emotion when he sits back down and puts his hand on his face. If you look at that pose as a single frame, it looks like he's sleeping. Apart from that, I really liked it.
