Animation Dialogue - nitemare!

[mistasam02]

Looks like a good start! Only thing I can suggest is to make the policeman's poses more dynamic. He needs some arcs and stuff.. everything else looks like just a first pass so I can't comment on it, but yea try to exagerate him more if you can. Good work!

Good choice of audio. I really like the pose you hit right after the line "I'm your worst nightmare, man." The one I'm talking about is when he looks down at himself with his arms lifted up slightly. I think you could hit this pose earlier in the animation, though. When the bad guy asks "What kind of cop are you?" and then you hear the cocking of the gun, you could easily have the cop hit the "looking down at himself" pose at this point. Then you could build his poses up to the most tense part of the audio (kick your f*ing ass ...) with the cop jabbing his gun out at the bad guy (which is the most aggressive motion). This way, you have a better arc of action to dialogue.

Also, be careful not to make the arm action look too IK driven.

i think you should tone down the head actions on the cop. try to use more of a body language then his head bouncing around to emply that he is energetic. make his body actions more vibrant.
