Frank Collazo:
more motion curves in the action
Ian John White:
Not bad, off putting linear movments of the feet though
V_I_C_K_Y:
Liked The Concept, layout..but Animation could have done better..!
Johnny Castuciano:
the yell needed a bit more ooomph
Ritwik Nag:
good concept.animation felt a bit jerky.need to smoothen it out with cushions and follothrus....i think
Yeray Díaz Díaz:
You need to push your poses more and get the performance right.
Watch out for cliché poses that don't really fit the audio clip.
Aaron Clement:
Nice ending... too much poses to pose with the main guy... Just needs more of the fundamentals... like many of the others... you know, like overlap, follow through and squash and stretch etc.
Rob:
Heheh.. cute concept. The falling bananas are a bit distracting from the monkey delivering most of the dialogue. The poses feel a touch too static too..perhaps hit-and-drift through them a little more to keep them alive. If you're going for held poses, then get into and out of them a bit snappier.
Dave:
focus more on the silhouette of the character (frame 121, 217) to make the poses more readable, therefore the emotion more readable
Taber Dunipace:
Fairly good scene but a bit bland. Needs more exaggeration and contrast of posing and timing. Keep studying the principals.
Tamara van Zal:
Your poses look nice. I think the movement between the poses looks plain. Try using circular/arc motion in the arms when going to the next pose.
Spencer Jones:
I liked the monkey on left alot. Maybe you should have picked a more clear action to express `short` and not such an obvious one for `fat`. F33 when his head falls, I think maybe it should have fallen later. F177 the wrists/arms maybe could have done that action bit quicker. Well done. Noticed bananananas falling second time round, funny.
Thomas Giles:
good poses, but not sure the monkey carried it off ;)
Renn:
Facial animation especially in need of attention here, as well as the dynamics of falling banana peels.
Lip sync is fine, but some more expression and exaggeration in the mouth would be ideal for this character and audio.
There are a lot of static moments between key motions that draws away from the illusion of believable movement.
Outside of that nit-picking, solid effort!
