Description: It was a lot of fun to animate this, I've learned a lot of things ! I didn't tried to make the guy walk (didn't planned it in his construction), I've focused on the face/upper body animation.
Comments and tips are very welcome !

Experience: 1 year

Time taken: Design : 5hrs / Rigging & Anim : 20hrs

Dieguito Pritchett:

haha, love the way that dog nibbles on the car... Would've been sealed my laugh if the timing of the dog sliding and crashing into the hood went with the thump, nice style though

Tianyu Chen:

I enjoyed it! love the dog.

Jimmy Horner:

I like the design but I think you can work on the movement of the character. Having fingers could really help your character. His expressions change sometimes without reason and then revert back to the previous expression all within a second or two of animation. I would either change the perspective of the street or road to eliminate the logical error of how the car is facing. The perspective is a bit off as well. But Overall a nice job and fun design. l Look forward to see more.

Owen:

I want the guy to start jumping or something more besides the face then the arms to match the crescendo. Yeah, torso and leg motion needed. Really like the closing of the hood to match the sound. Best match yet.

Jon Sheldon:

The arm movements are a little much, but overall very interesting.

Danny Kneip:

It's difficult to see that lip sync and the eyes (and even the head because everything's the same color, more or less. That building in the background should have been the red one to create a greater contrast, instead you have the red building behind the red car. The dog is adorable, but clearly on a loop. If the inside of the guy's mouth was black or dark red, that would really have helped, as well.

Jez:

Hard to do cut out, especially on this site I think, kind of funny.
