superb work

Matt Horstman:

I was following your WIP thread on the forums. Awesome to see how much this improved from the beginning

Richard Clark:

Great job!

Ryan D Lowe:

Great work in the fingers.

Aaron Clement:

I like it. Good acting.

Thomas Edward:

Excellent! Great expression, poses and acting. There's a few frames around 180 with a strong specular highlight messing with the man's left eye, but nothing dealbreaking, just distracting. Overall exceptional.

Chad Bailey:

Awesome work! I love the acting choices! Especially finishing with the swirl of the glass and the drink. One thing you could do to improve your shot would be to fix the "cross-eyed" look your character has as he starts his line. I think part of it might have to do with the pupils being different colors, which I know you did on purpose. But perhaps easing back on their positions will compensate for that and make them not appear too crossed unintentionally! Great work!

Amartya Mukherji:

nice smooth animation. could have polished the eye animation further.
F178 to F190 the eye shining brightly is very disturbing. rectify it :p

Kyu-bo Choi:

girl's reaction is great!

Danny Kneip:

Great pick-up line! ;-) The lip sync is pretty solid, as are the fingers. The hand gestures are kept to a minimum, which is brilliant. The girl's reaction is strong, but her turning away in disgust seems an odd choice. Overall, I like this piece and think you did a great job creating it.

Arnov Mipun:

i like the girl's reaction better than the guy. so i feel like the girl's animation was very good but the guy who is speaking fell a little bit flat
