10 Second Club - Taxes

Nice going... feels a little mushy and the gesures seem to often hit a little late. The voice seems angry, and it emphasizes certain words -- I think the animation could benefit from less flow and more snap.

Here's an updated. Haven't cleaned up my curves yet on the body/hands, but started in on the face some, just a bit of eye work so far. Sped up the flow to give a bit of snap to the movements.

There's the first pass at the lip synching. Brows haven't been touched yet. Used Microsoft MPEG-4 compression for the playblast, what's the common compression to use?

Crits very much wanted, thanks.

Doesn't look like you've spent a lot of time on the body yet. I would get all your poses locked down, nail the timing, and then do the lip sync last.

Whew, this is just showing me how out of practice I am with anim. Great exercise tho. Here's the latest pass with some changes based on crits I've gotten. Much appreciated.

You got potential so keep at it. What I was expecting was him paving back and forth while he's talking...and with more fretfullness and fuming in his gestures...You can feel and hear that in the voice. That just made me realize I could get some practise myself:)

Sorry this isnt really a crit as such, I saw this preview on the 10sec club i think where it was just a playblast. I think the main problem is that you have used IK on the arms all the way through the anim, I doint really think it needs any IK, so you might want to try doing this with FK arms. There is a switch for this on Generi. Sorry if this is patronising.


The hand curve has attributes attached to it to turn off IK switch taht attribute to 0

Good work so far tho
