Sander Kamermans:
Nice Idea, and smooth animtion,.
Matt Kenley:
its good... but theres something weird about his movements that I cant put my finger on.
Daniel Huertas:
nice acting.. i would put more intensity on "help him" and "get" because the sound clip asks for it... and also the end "for me" seems like "for me??" nice job!
Brad Regier:
Sooper D!
You did a nice subtle job here! I like your simple approach to everything.
Lips/jaw could be more punchy.
"That if i could help him in some way":maybe make the hands look more independent of the body, same with head.
Maybe add more rotateY in the spine here and there.
This is in a great place! Just needs some tweaking and polish yet:the fun stuff!
Eric Huang:
Not bad :). I like how much you've expressed even with small gestures
Ozgur Yildirim:
Good :)
Tyler Phillips:
Nice subtle animation.
Cody Woodard:
He seems to staticly pause on "help him some way" and then he pops on "maybe", try smoothing out the movement on the waist, but the overall animation is great, good job.
Steve Clarke:
I liked this but the character seemed a little dull in aeas where the voice lifted. Its not a lively dialogue but the actor does express a lot of ranges. I felt this needed more lifts here and there.
Philip Crow:
The hands stay in front of the body so the silhouette isn't that great, I'd change the camera.
Dan Dulberger:
Body moves abit linearly I think. Poses could've been abit more expressive.
David Artura:
Could be a bit more snappy between the poses. The eyes could hold a tad longer between 149~171, they look a tad floaty now.
Aaron Clement:
Interesting take. The lip sync was a bit floaty. I like it how you animated in pose. Maybe more texture to your timing... it felt very even throughout... some good touches in there.
Mat Thompson:
For me this was just too subtle, the accents in the audio were just stronger. That said what is there is of great quality.
Wolfram Kampffmeyer:
wow, nice subtle movement! Good work!
Paul Ziola:
The animating is nice and smooth but it doesn't suite the audio. His voice is tense and almost desperate but his body language is calm. No dynamic poses. Perhaps if it had a stronger finish.
Mike Courtney:
don't just move in the z or x, people rarely move so linearlly
Gino Garibaldi:
I really like the subtlety, my only concerns are the snort seems to be a spit or flapping of the lips, which imho does not seem to fit? and another is the tone of voice does not seem to fit the gentle manner in which the animation portraits the lip synk....However i really enjoyed it. Great job!
Roberto G:
Lip sync out in some areas
