Allier Zelaya:

Good animation. There is some very expressive acting. Gorilla lip sync could be more precise.

Frank Collazo:

good

Ian John White:

Nice, Look at his arms they tend to do the same thing at the exact same time, on occassion you have offset the hands and arms by a frame or two, maybe experiment with a couple more frames offset, Got some great weigh in there though!

Niels Beekes:

Hihi, the other character is much more fat then he is! He's just whiny... Anyway, I like the acting. He's really expressing himself. Not much more I have to say for now.

Nick Adducci:

nice characters, a bit freaky in this lighting, but very nice.

sweet expressions, and nice choice of gestures, but they seem a little lacking in he mouth movements. It's like the gestures overpower some of the facial expressions. Plus I think there's a lipsynching problem in the first 60 frames or so.

beck veitch:

Needless to say it's in the blocking stage and I think it's to symmetrical in the posing.

Louis Ng:

I like the pose at 'fat' because it seems so appropriate.

However, the 'middle-aged' pose seems a bit too sissy, out of character.

jonathan fontaine:

your "midlle age" with the fingers rolling .. is really great..
the big ape turn back too fast..

Kamal Bhattacharjee:

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

Chris de Souza:

I like this one... But I think it may have been better to have the other character in the frame the whole time. It was a little distracting having him there but not being able to fully see him.

Jeroen Koffeman:

Nice build-up in expression.

Jason Fugh:

11 stars: great timing and lip sinking, good posing

Aaron Clement:

Staging needs work... I had no idea what the object was to whom he was speaking. A little cliche on the last pose.

Dan Dulberger:

If there was a rule that said you needed a pose for every keyword I think you did a good job trying to incorporate them all. Not sure it's all that natural though, acting wise.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

A little distubing couple, naked fat hairless dude and gorilla console player... mmm odd couple. Anyway the animation is a little too tight on some places and the poses are a tad cliché. You could've dropped a couple that only add confusion to the performance.

danyeal:

the pose on "fat" is really good.
but lip sync in the beginnig doesnt seem right

Rob:

Not bad. The staging could be a bit better for the big guy, tho... when he comes into shot we see so little of him that there's some confusion as to what he's doing.

I think you could tone down the first two dialogue accents in the body just a bit so they feel more like the lead up to that full body pose of "THING!".... go from the soft defeated energy at the beginiign and build to that frustration. I like the "captain kirk" pose at the end for the scream..very funny.

Johnny Castuciano:

some lip synch seems off, but its good!

Spencer Jones:

i liked this thought most was very good. the tail at the end was kinda stiff maybe thats bit picky. frame 183 - 210ish the hands maybe let that down not sure bit it was less convincing than the rest for me. the pose at 221 maybe could have been a bit sooner, might have helped. very good. also his arms at frame 114 they make two positions before frame 131 and maybe you could have just had it moving through there a bit smoother. realy good though

Taber Dunipace:

Too much stuff happening too fast. Try to plan your scene more carefully. Study the principals.

Thomas Giles:

lol. great poses.

Gustavo dos Santos Souto:

needs a lot of work

Ryan Glovka:

some nice emotion, but a lot of twinning in your poses. Might have been more dynamic if some acting choices weren't so symmetrical.

Deanna Bishop:

Good control of movement. The lip sync on both characters could use some work.
