Two of your three characters are working great for me. The interrogator and the guy who is seated are very nice.

The weak element in the whole thing at the moment for me is the guy who is tied up. He's fine up until after he says "I have no gate key". After that, his poses and motion are a bit to jerky. Also, his regurgitatio of the gate key isn't reading all that clearly. I think you need more anticipation of the spit up. Maybe try translating him downward more. At the moment, he doesn't seem to have any up or down translation in his hips (or main body).

It's looking good... keep going!

This has got to be the funniest 10 second club entry I've ever seen.
I took a course with Kaj Pindal a long time ago and he said something along the lines of, "if it's funny, nothing else matters".

Thanks everyone for all the comments, one of the biggest challenges for this was trying to time the spit of the gate key in reaction to having the other character say tear his arms off, because it leaves me little time to get the spit going and then have him say his final line of, oh that gate key, its something I have been playing with a while, all in all it was a fun piece to work on, I think funny is good too, but I also hope the animation is entertaining as well. Wish me luck this month!

lol thats pretty funny:thumbsup:

few crits
when he pops round the corner to fire i reckon he needs to do it a bit more 'over the top' then have a small build up to fireing like the gun scales up a bit (warner cartoon style) to have a slightly faster blow back.
