Daryl Marples:

Nice idea, odd timing on the point at the hole.

Brad Regier:

Lipsync isn't quite there yet. (Too flappy, bad arcs. Pretty good for thrashing it out two hours before the deadline, though.) The digging needs polish. Cluttered staging: moon here, bucket there, etc.:not very artistic. Fix that point at 108, maybe don't have him point with his finger, just wave his hand. The sarcastic eyes at "girl that he loves" is too cliché. Maybe just have him look nervous and shifty there.

Kyle Rockman:

The idea is pretty funny....and the lipsync is beautiful from what i can see....for the most part you have the head titled down so you can't see the mouth all to well. As for the body movement i think the peice just needs more movement in the legs....it seems as if the character is just stradling something the entire time....and we as humans use are legs alot. Keep up the good work!!!

Lauren Andersson:

nice

Marcos Borba Moreira:

dont like the way his legs moves, kinda of painful. even for a vampire or kinda of monster, other then that, good job and good idea

Daniel Huertas:

i like the first part... when he hits "this girl that he loves..." it doesn't quite match with the audio clip.. (intensity wise) nice job!

jim Duffy:

Nice to see use of props to go along with the acting

Victor Wong:

Poses need to focus on a specific point in order to give the impression that he's actually talking to someone.

Eric Huang:

haha nice concept and great execution :)

John Erickson:

some nice suttle movements going on. i like the shovel being thrown and the movement as it hits the ground.

Mariya Kalachova:

Good, interesting idea.
His hand jumps a bit at 'get him' and watch the knees they seem to move of their own accord a little bit.

Andrew Linke:

great lip synching and i really like how you had major actions on major beats in the dialouge like throwing the shovel down. Nice work.

Alonso Soriano:

shovel has no weight. The bended knees make me feel like he doesn't either. Love the moment you create at the end though!

Aaron Clement:

I like the last expression... The sniff was good, too...The spade through was good. Could do with more flow... some nice touches in there, though.

Tom Cho:

Could be a bit more dynamic

David Artura:

A lot of good work here. Watch the knee pops toward the end of the shot.

Also, there's a quick hand point just after he drops the shovel that's not reading right to me.

Damian Isherwood:

watch out for popping legs..Make him move with purpose, so that legs aren't dragging, that way if he has a weight shift you don't pop the knee.Nice upper body work though.

Henning Koczy:

REally cute and sympathetic. Loses a bit of motivation-- gets vague-- toward the middle ("this girl... that maybe") but I love the beginning and end.

Dan Dulberger:

I think he points to the grave to late or stops pointing to soon.

Mike Courtney:

popping in the animation

Chris de Souza:

This is pretty good! I think when you slide the foot on frames 228-231 it looks awkward. The left leg looks really strained there.

Robert Tighe:

Fun stuff, but there isn't much contrast and the poses are kind of weak.

Cole Higgins:

its cool but I dont really know why hes digging. Doesnt really match what hes talking about. Or it doesnt really help your scene, the facr that hes digging.
