Caleb Drewel:

good idea, but u can only get so much from two hands.

Mariya Kalachova:

Interesting idea! However I didn't really get the emotion out of the sound piece, so I'm not so sure it was such a good idea for the 11 second club.

Renaud Déchaux:

Good idea, but maybe little simple. Lot of details could make the scene more fun. Good animation.

Frank Collazo:

interesting idea

Taurice:

cool idea!

Nick Adducci:

Oh man, muppet memories.

Great job lipsynching and even the expression of the hands is very good. although it's hard to understand any context though since they are hands after all.

Rico Lim:

original concept

Ritwik Nag:

...Thats something fresh.Great thinking.Maybe you could use the individual fingers more to get the expressions out.Now the expressions are what i am missing...good job

Cameron Huber:

Interesting take on the clip.I didn't feel some of the movements but it was still a pretty decent effort! :D

jinu:

good overlaps, nice execution

Ben Hammersley:

interesting. because you chose hands i would have liked to see more characterization. The animation didn't seem like it was coming from the hand.

Jeroen Koffeman:

Some very nice movement. The vingers move as one piece, it feels as if they are glued together. However in all the fast movement whe don't get a chance to really notice this so its not that much of a problem. This doesn't feel very natural though. But the overall is really good

Charles Eubanks:

Not bad, but it doesn't quite capture the emotional punch of the dialog track (which is pretty hard to do with just a hand).

Mike Courtney:

it looks like the elbows are nailed to the set, move them around a bit with the hands

Niels Beekes:

Those hand really acted well! I like the second hands movement (how he reacted to the left hand)

Émylie:

this is an acting and lipsync competition,... what's up with the hands???

Diego Oriani:

Great! I just love the idea.

jonathan topf:

I like the surprised reaction at the end,

Aaron Clement:

I like it... Staging wasn't too bad... could have shown more emotion even with just hands... but not too bad overall.

Wesley Schneider:

hahahah very funny

Paulo Clayton:

For a couple of hands, great lip sync! Very unique. Well done.

J Saunders:

thats really cool! thnking out side the box

miles southan:

Well it looks great but you definitely took the easy route here :)

Johnny Castuciano:

the hand GUY!

Rob:

ANother set of hands!..lol

Really nice work... the only criticism I have is that it feels like the anticipation for the hand who asks "I made you short?" is a bit too much, a bit to theatrical for how simply and earnestly the line is asked...a small anticipation back and then delivering the line would feel a bit more sincere. Other than that, fantastic work..really good character coming from these hands... Henson-like

Aaron Jonas:

nice!!

Joyce Tan:

great inspiration

Cuby:

Really well pulled off! The hand and arm movements are excellent, but I think you could have made a bit more of an effort by putting in some hand guestures rather than simply using it as a mouth.

Andrew Linke:

i like the idea i think you could have been more articulate however with the hands/characters.

Dave Blanchette:

Nice execution using simple "characters."

Dan Harriman:

Interesting take! Pity those hands don't have eyes though.

Zee Myers:

tough challenge! it was pretty good; considering it was all about the hands it would have been nice to see some slight animation on the fingers so they weren't all moving together. but the overall feel was great!
