Brad Regier:

Really good! I love the patient's sitting up.
Probably need to keep the shrink still at the beginning so we won't look at him first. Other than that, his acting is pretty good. Maybe tone it down a little more, soften it in time...

Daniel Huertas:

i like it, the intensity of the dialogue was a little off, from the beggining it was up then down then up again.. i found that one the first line "I thought" and "help him" if you would have toned them down you would have had a more smooth acting (intensity wise) i like the doctor also... i would have made him react at least a little bit after the "i thought" and it seems that it stops on time almost at the end just the pose before he writes down notes..

nice job!

Marcos Rezende:

Nice timming.. Especially when the character raises..

myung lee:

this is great! i especially like the ending.
I think maybe the pose 149 could come a little earlier and intersect with when hes thinking.

Sunny Kharbanda:

Love the poses and acting. The little scribble from the therapist at the end made me chuckle!

Matt Kenley:

gone through about half the animations so far, this is the best one yet, NICE

kimleow:

love the idea for this situation.
the getting up part is unique but the action doesnt match with the depress mode. :)
good one

Matt Johnson:

Nice. Might have delved deeper into the shrink character, but his actions didnt pull away from main character. Really nice actions.

Chris Welsby:

great work, lots of really nice poses!

Eric Huang:

Awesome job, no crits here :)

Michael Vandenhoven:

Love the idea. I thought that some of youir movements were a little fast but still good.

Ann-Marie Denham:

Vurry noice!

Patrick Chin:

Very nice! Lovely situation you've come up with. The animation is also very nice, although there could be a bit more variation in intensity of the accents. Also the head bounce after every accent is a tad distracting. Apart from that, well done!

Ritwik Nag:

WOW!!

samy.oddjob@gmail.com:

ncie one a lot of stuff to improve, but it's really nice

Michael Cawood:

Extremely competent work. I’d like to see a few more moving holds, but that’s another style of animation. Within the constraints of the stop/start style of cartoony animation this is top notch stuff.

John Erickson:

nice animation. i love the way he gets up from the couch

Stuart Livingston:

Wonderful concept, definitely works. Great animation, great timing, sense of weight, poses work, overall excellent work!

Nate Dorn:

looks great, might seem like he's kinda repeating his action when he sniffs?

Mariya Kalachova:

Ha ha I love it.. very nice interplay between the two characters, good combination having one very subtle and one very lively character. Briliant.

Teju Aloysius:

its a nice context. animation is also interesting. yup i like it buddy.

Aaron Clement:

Cool... I like the interaction between the two... The guy writing it down at the end is a nice touch. Maybe a few more subtle actions in there and fewer broader actions... one of the better one's, though.

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

Nice job! There's nothing really wrong with it , maybe a lack of contrast at the end. Congratulations!

Victor Wong:

There are volume issues during the transition from lying to sitting positions, particularly with the head.

David Bokser:

really nice and polished. I think the face could use a bit more emotion.

Adam Knight:

Great idea.

Ciaran:

That was fun. ..after hearing this line over a hundred times, this was actually entertaining. Good idea, well staged, well acted ( i particularly like the scholarly nod of the psychiatrist).
Excellent, lots of stars for this one :D

Jack Daniels:

Love the shrink's nod at frame 160.

Robert Tighe:

very even. nice effort!

Nanda van Dijk:

i love the snappieness of your animation. that makes it realy dynamic. great job!!!

Manas Sahoo:

pretty good
