Hello all you 3dians. Take a quick look at this idle and crit please. Its just a short idle with a few poses. I'm at work... where I don't animate..... so it sucks here. When I get home, I'm planning on fixing the breakdown for his puppet arm :) The concept is that the every day consumer is an empty jar (dumb) and devoid of thought..... so you can imagine my attempts at acting, 'no thought' haha... okay.. Oh... this is sort of an intro.

Hi !

Nice animation. First of all, to get more replies, you should make your video files smaller. Try keeping it around 1 Mb.

My suggestion is that you work a little more on his surprise-action. You should either exaggerate it more, making it slower and bigger (think Tom & Jerry) or diminish his movement to make it less eye-catching. After all, he is idle.

Keep it up!
