What’s up guys? My name is Christopher Sosa. I’m a student at the International Academy of Art and Design in Tampa Florida and I’m about to complete my BFA in computer animation. I just finished my animated short and wanted to get some good comments about it. In this piece I really wanted to focus on character animation as much as possible. Some of you may recognize the head of my character; I posted my first lip sync a several months ago in preparation for this short. This project has definitely been a great experience for me. I’ve never attempted an animation this long or even a lip sync this long. Hope you enjoy it. Please give me any feedback; I would really appreciate it.

pretty cool. As far as the character animation goes, it seemed a little slow sometimes but i thought your movement, when timed to the sound effects, was very good. Lip sync seems ok for the most part/just a little off towards the middle (+/- 2:15) -also remember that our mouths make the shape of the sounds they are going to make BEFORE the sound comes out.

i think some of the movements could 'snap' a little more -it wouldn't hurt to exaggerate some of the simple moves (hand gestures, expressions, walk cycles...) either. I must say i'm impressed overall: you obviously went to a lot of effort here and i think you have something that could eventually be a real kick-ass piece. great job!
