Hehe. It's good. Smooth and lifelike animation. I like it.. however the first few seconds of the animation were very jumpy.

Very good! The animation snaps and facial work is great. the only thing that is missing which is seen in best 10 sec entries is a relationship between your character and the dialog. Grey guy is a little neutral.

Thanks Guys .

Vushvush ,

When you say "the relationship between the character and the dialog" do you mean the physical looks of the character ? or do you mean the way I have animnated the character to the dialog ?

Just trying to get as much feed back as I can to help me improve .

Thanks , Ben .

What I say is.. well... the situation doesn't have any relation to the dialog. I'm not saying that you should recreate the characters, but make some sort of amusing juxtaposition. Instead of a neutral grey field and character, put them in a situation that the dialog could actually be a part of...

Cool , understand better now .

I actually made a conscious decision to have minimal props and neutral colours so as I was judged on the animation and not the "wow" factor gained through backdrops / scenery / textures etc etc.

But , I can also appreciate what you are saying about adding to scene to make the character look more "in place" , perhaps I will look at doing that in this months comp .

Thanks for the great feedback .
