Hey Guys,
Yep, another animation work to crit!
There's Neil Armstrong Moon landing Speach! Also, Eric Bana in The Australian Film "Chopper" and a few walks. So please feel free to make some interesting comments!

Pretty good.
For the crits: I'm just a beginner but maybe this helps:

The Neil Armstrong clip has quite some flaws. The lipsync lacks definition just look at the moment where he says 'but'. It just goes from half open to open. I don't really get why he moves his eyes like that when he doesn't say anything, it doesn't really fit the thing he's saying. The eye-movement is pretty choppy and doesn't move in arcs.

Other than that it looks pretty nice, maybe someone else can help you with some crits.

Thanks, Harregarre. Some of my firends told me why I was doing big eye darts and I said that I imagined Neil Armstrong recitating his prepared speech on the moon. I felt that it was hilarious but I guess I will change the eye darts because it's bugging everybody. I'll check the lip sync again, thanks for the feedback, well spoted!
