Animator: Paula Decanini

Description: This is my attempt at a Godfather-esque scenario of someone being cordial while unmistakably threatening. I'm going for subtle, yet intense. All critiques welcome!

philipp seis:

i like how you illustrate social status in the acting. Partly the animation looks to pose to posy.

Piotr Skulimowski:

There's no point for her to be there. It brings nothing to the story. Witch is completely not clear.

Tobias Fuhr:

i love the employee, but the guy need some adjustments. He didn't move his spine and in the final talk his head is stopped. but i liked, congrats

Austin Hambrick:

this is really good. his arm seems to turn into a stick towards the end when hes holding the cup up hardly moivng in contrast to the rest of the animation when its moving alot.

richard a.:

Was this rendered? If so, it is a bit dark. Good poses. The first half of the animation look good but the second half seems a bit incomplete. Job job overall =)

Ben LaScala:

This is great! Until he moves his arm to sip his tea. Its really breaks his vitality and breaks the illusion of life. Otherwise This is awesome stuff!

Luis Trebino:

I like the idea, but needs some extra work on the animation

Janzelle:

The motion is very smooth and feels comfortable all until he brings the cup up to his mouth. That just felt a bit stiff to me, but the motion in the woman is very nice. Nice lighting too.

Amartya Mukherji:

nice acting. The Don type attitude is clearly coming through but could have been polished a bit more probably. Anyways, I liked it, specially the maid acting is well thought off.

Reginald Crumpler:

Excellent piece! : )

Yurika Nishi-Imai:

This man drinks his tea with SERIOUS style.

Katie Wyman:

I actually feel like the girl in the background was animated the best, but that might just be because her subtle movements were very nice.
