Lauren Andersson:
i like "help him in someway" posing and acting
Daniel Huertas:
i think it needs to rework some of the poses and put them in the right place of intensity.. or maybe make new ones.. it seemed that in the most important parts of the audio the character didn't do much... i would work on that to add more texture to my acting...
Bill Drastal:
Awesome poses, but the timing feels off, the action is a tad late on hitting some of the points in the audio.
Craig Peck:
I really like the poses but your timings not right. Try hit the poses on the word more
Matt Kenley:
weird pose with the gun to the head... dont get it
Eric Huang:
Nice stuff going on here :). The hand looks stiff @160.
David Bokser:
the lip sync is too loose and the pose on "girl that he loves" seems a bit forced. The motion is very polished, though!
Gino Garibaldi:
wow i though this was great animation, however my dislike is your acting, almost every major pose/word did not convey the message for me =(. IMO you have great animation skills but maybe laked a little on the acting decisions? Id like to see more of your work, great job!
Aaron Clement:
Lacks the subtleties that goes into a great acting performance... subtlety is the king when it comes to strong acting... Felt a little too staged at times... good effort.
james:
more blinks?
Gregory Marlow:
Mouth is a little squishy
Mariya Kalachova:
Wow, really good poses.. really aesthetically wonderful animation. I just don't really feel that it glues well with the dialogue, it seems a bit seperate.
But really clean work!
Ann-Marie Denham:
Some of the mouth movements are very interesting.
John Erickson:
good job. the pose at 'girl that he loves' seems a bit confusing. nice pose but seems like it shouldnt be at that point. good job overall
samy.oddjob@gmail.com:
acting too much cliche and unappropriate for the situation
David Artura:
A lot of really good work in here, but I'm not too sure about the lack of use with the eyelids in the second half. It makes it look unpolished (to me). Really great stuff overall though!
John:
great personality :)
Alexis St-Laurent:
I like the acting. I like the way you went. Telling things without going on the old "pointing over there" trap. The only thing I don't believe in is the lipsync. From what I've seen so far, if you could go on the same level on the mouth that you did with the rest of the character, you would be the best I've seen... Great stuff!
Roger Feron:
Really nice timing and poses. After he says "...girl that he loves" he seems to move his mouth a lot while he's not talking... like he's chewing gum strangely. Maybe tone that down a bit. A little movement in the fingers of his left hand when he puts it on the table (after saying "... girl that he loves") would be good - it just seems to freeze the moment it touches the table.
Gurneet Singh Khahra:
work on timing of poses
Ciaran:
This really made me laugh. I absolutely love the little mouth twitches at f156 and f194. they just add so much for something so small. My only criticism is that I don't know why you chose that pose at f16 for "I thought", they seem unconnected... but otherwise I really enjoyed this.
Mat Thompson:
I found some of your posing choices odd but the quality of your animation pretty good.
David Humphreys:
Your lighting i think is hurting this piece you lose clarity o his face when you have some really good animation going on, add a few more lights and this'll shine alot better!
Dan Dulberger:
I really think the mood is all wrong and all the poses seem strained. Sortof like a bad actor. Otherwise animation was ok.
Yeray Díaz Díaz:
Timing of the poses is off and the poses don't seem to fit with the clip. Try using the energy of the clip and acting it. Right now seems like a series of arbitrary poses strung together. Also watch your lipsync.
Blake:
Great work!!! I really love on 137 where his finger bends on his head.
