Hey all, I recently finished an animation called Open Mic Night. I did it for a school project at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I thought it would be funny to do an animation of a mime doing standup comedy, and make him really bad at it, cause he's a mime!! :) I created the piece with 3D Studio Max. There are things I'd like to fix with it, but for now I'm calling it finished. Please let me know what you think of it. Specifically critiques on the animation are what I'm looking for.

looks like a really fun concept - would sure like to see you go back and revise it a bit - the walk cycle stands out the most as previously noted... but I'd also like to see something a bit more polished with the story - really cool potential here...

Hey guys, thanks a lot for the input! I'll definitely do more work on the walk cycle! Any more critiques on the animation?
