Gday mate,

Just checked out your reel. I liked the feel of it, but there were certain things I didnt think really worked. You're off to a sweet start, but all in all I give it a 6/10.

The pros:

- the character is pretty cool. The way you've built him looks fairly clean and the rig seems ok.
- the lip sync seemed kewl, but just needed to be smoothed out a fair bit... it just seemed like he was sounding out EVERY word, seemed a little un-natural.

The cons:

- the animation was not bad, but I kinda noticed a lot of repititions. As well as this, there doesnt appear to be any secondary motion. It's very one sided with abrupt pauses, just needs to be smoothed out more The character is wacky, so a fast paced form of movement is ideal, but his flow needs to be randomised (ie. try not to make him do a motion back and forth continuously, change it up a bit).
- the lighting was ok, not too drowned out or pale, however I think the shadows can be brought up more.


Other than that, top notch, and good luck in the future :buttrock:
