Short Film : 'Buzz'

[Glacierise]

Not too great concept, but the animation was awesome! Four stars ;)

I like the acting, specially the facial expressions. It's a good work, and It's funny!!

[dasebi]

nice animation! I like the "fun" in the animation.

[phantomworkshop]

That was really fun to watch. The timing was spot on. Excellent work and a lot of fun :)

Nice animation man, I havn't seen many work from DCA, is your grad soon?

[GerR]

Very nice animation. I thought that some of his reactions didn't make much sense, facial expressions dont really match some of the situations but are never the less very well animated. Nice job.

[David-J]

really good animation, specially the facial expressions.

I enjoyed your piece.

[Aben-Athar]

Really enjoyed it!! Great timing and storytelling! :thumbsup:

[Tremor]

hey buddy great job!

really liked the acting and the timing, my only criticism is that when he's going to fight the buzz, as he prepares and getting his knuckles up, you could have pushed it a bit, he seems less eager to fight in his poses then the story suggests (just push of the extremes i mean).

but all in all, fantastic!

Thank you all, Yeah I know its not a great concept. It was a six month course, and we had to come up with a short - story, design, model, rig, animate and render by the end of it!!. So I had to choose something really simple with one character :)

GerR, tnx but if u could be more specific which shot, it would be nice of u

Thanks Kobi for ur critique, really appreciate it and will look into it.

[annoman]

nice animation you have there. :thumbsup:
i really like the slow-mo shot, the one when the main character was reaching for his doughnut, it felt for me it was the climax. hehe...

good job!

[dpendleton]

Nice animation and acting.

[GerR]

It was only 3 shots, before he flicks the fly off his doughnut, the sinister face he makes before doesn't seem to match too well with the disgusted face he makes only seconds prior. Directly after he flicks it, his reaction seems a little too exagerated, as if he is a little too excited that he actually managed to hit it. When he is grabbing for the doughnut in the slowmotion shot, he seems too happy to see that the doughnut is flying with him, since he just had it, it would probably be better to give him a face expressing longing as he is grasping for it. That way is would be a better complement for his subsequent dispare once he misses.

Hope that clarifies my comment a little more.

Great animation! Classic fun.
Just a gripe: the fists, they look weird. It's important you get those thumbs right when they're so close-up.

Oh yeah! that makes perfect sense, I see what you mean now. Tnx Bryan, and Henning yours too.

The idea is old, one character tries to enjoy their time and another tries to annoy them as much as possible like for example Tom & Jerry has been done to the death. But as someone pointed it out, the animation is splendid here! Acting is excellent.

Nice job! :)

You got that right friend! Tom & Jerry was one of my inspirations.
