Tim Lobes:
Movements are a bit slow, CG-ish.
Charles Eubanks:
I think you got some good facial expressions that match the dialog well, such as the "look at me" around frame 110. Some of the character's body movement + stepping looks a little too drifty, I think. A little bounce could have given him better energy. Good job overall. You clearly worked hard on this.
Kamal Bhattacharjee:
nice animation,
but little bit confusing at "insecured", the gesture could be better. need more attention in hitting the accent...
good job keep it up to more higher.........
Jeroen Koffeman:
The shoulders of the rig should be more in the body I think. Now all of the movement of the arms is controlled from de really tiny edge of his arm. The curled fingers feel a bit unnatural at sometimes. Because the upper part of the finger doesn't curl when the under part of the finger does. Try to bend only the under-part of your own fingers and you'll see how hard this is. Also, the feet do'nt anticipate before they go in the air. The caracter has either really strong thoes or he's being pulled up by some invisible force.
Caleb Drewel:
tweaking the audio? why?
Émylie:
awwwwwwwww its a frog! so cute... needs improvement:D
jonathan topf:
I would like to see you animate this with a different rig, this one felt restricted
sharad kumar:
hi..keep working hard.I think u can make some good pose with his hands while he says 'short fat insecure..'.
Rene:
I thought the showing of the picture was too quick. We don't get to see it long enough to get the joke. I had to view it a couple of times to really get a look at it.
Aaron Clement:
I remember seeing this in the forums. I actually prefered the forums entry. I'm not sure why he comes up to camera like he does... I felt you couldn't have held the picture up for longer so it really hits home... It's partly a staging/story telling issue I guess.
Johnny Castuciano:
decent
Taber Dunipace:
Very floaty and unspecific; a typical "CGI" animation downfall. Study the principals.
dinesh:
great idea and execution!
Ralph Pacheco:
Mouth didn't seem quite right. A little more tweaking. Not bad though.
Frank G:
I was waiting for a frog or toad character. What can you do better for the "middle aged" hook?
Spencer Jones:
dum de de de dum dum de de de beep beep. (crazy frog) The animation was bit all over the place I thought. Just try making it a bit clearer with his actions/poses what hes trying thinking and feeling. try do start off with like one really clear pose every accent then go from there. or ignore me completely if you disagree
pritish sanghvi:
5 stars
need holds on ur poses. u could make it more snappier. please check out aaron hartline and mark harris' animation.
Dan Harriman:
If He'd held the picture up for a bit longer I would picked up on the joke a lot easier. He floats around as if weightless on frames 35, 100, 125 and 235. Make sure his legs are actually capable of lifting him as high as he goes, other wise the action won't work.
