HariNarayan:

kool lighting
weird acting !!

Matt Kenley:

this is very much improved from the WIP you posted, NICE. It still needs a little work, but you should be very encouraged by your progress.

Justin G:

solid

David Artura:

Don't try to hit every beat of the dialogue. It makes for a very swimmy/spastic shot. Take out a few of the poses, only hit a pose on the major beats. Make sure it's a solid, well needed pose that is relevant to the dialogue.

I had a hard time trying to see the lip sync due to the excessive head movement. Try acting your shot out just as you have it. Remember, even though we are working in a medium that can be exaggerated, too much doesn't read well.

Marcos Borba Moreira:

i think that just some poses are not working with the animation

Chris de Souza:

There are way too many poses in here, and some of them are off balance. His expressions and lip sync are good though!

Patrick Alessi:

keep the motion natural

Jeremy Schichtel:

nice job, composition seems a little cramped, may look better if he was on the right third of the shot because he gestures and faces stage left alot

Eric Huang:

Motions are too jerky and spazzy, I add more overlap/follow through and smooth out your arcs.

John Erickson:

nice job

Gregory Marlow:

A lot of these poses arent very clear

Aaron Clement:

Bring him more center... get rid of the negitive space to his right, unless there's a reason for it. Too much movement at the start. The arm fold was good.

david arthur:

needs more planning out of the hands and gestures, some good bits though

Davide Como:

The acting is a bit vaudeville-style exagerated, and I think he should move a bit more on his feet. Some gestures are a little unnatural and shilouettes should be fixed. Nice overall feeling

Jamie:

nice, the crossed arms pose may have been a bit too much. Didn't really feel like it was called for.

Tomas Ortiz:

Great effort. A bit chopy

John:

It seems like he moves too fast. Like he does too much in too short of time.

Alexis St-Laurent:

the idea is good, but the arms are moving too much. If you keep his arms to more simple movements, it forces you to narrow the poses down to the most expressive ones. But there is a lot of nice things going on with the "this girls that he loves" part.

Gregory Naud:

Try to have clear body poses, following arcs could help. Avoid twisting on the arms that givs really strange look.

Victor Wong:

The right arm is a little stiff throughout, but otherwise the animation and posing look pretty good.

Ciaran:

I think this is far too busy. There's almost a new pose for every word. If it just calmed down a bit, I think it'd be better.

Emmanuel Vergne:

everything needs more fluidity

Giovanni:

Why not to move the camera a little since you got all that empty space?
I love it!

Jen:

Its a little jerky, but a good framework for later
