Hey guys!
Hey ZeAle ! i think your animation is better for stayign with the topic. It opens really well 
as Dudeacle says your later key frames could be stronger, I think you could do with some holds on them, there too much movement making it hard to read the poses.
congratz on producing something though pleasure to see !
Roll on the next challenge !
Heres my late entry. Please click the link below. Comments and critques are welcome.

I hope Zeale picks a topic for the next challenge. If not then we will just take the next one off the list. This way will be alot faster than voting.
I kinda like that idea of going down a list of animation challenges rather than voting. But I recommend having 2 options every month, just in case one of them isnāt appealing. :shrug: Just a suggestion.
As for your entry, nice anticipation in the beginning! But it seems like you have too many poses, Iād say about 9 or 10 in a span of 7 seconds. So itās pretty much one after the other. Thatās the main thing that doesnāt look right. Good turn at the end, I mightāve got you for not keeping the feet flat on the floor but itās technically outside of the camera frame so Iāll let you off
Good job guys.
Thanks for the crit Ron. Im trying to understand what you mean by too many poses. Could you mean too beats? Or the animation is too stiff from one pose to another so it pops into the next pose? If there are any poses that are not needed which ones are they? This was also a first pass so i plan on cleaning up on it.
Hey Dudacle! Thanks for trusting me to choose the next topic, but I guess we already have many good ideas going on. I guess we could just pick one of those.
About your animation, I guess the eyes are not moving like a paranoidās eyesā¦ May be a āleft-rightā movement in āpose 6ā might help.
THanks all for the critiques on my studiesā¦ Do we still have time to change our animation?
hey i saw this thread today and im sad as i was late i hope you ppl start your next contest soon
Hereās my final animation, I guess itās much better now! Thanks for all the critiques and I hope to see you all in the next challenge!
Hope you enjoy the animation!
Guys when are we startign the next challengeā¦ deadline for this one was liek a week ago lol!
i wanna get in on the action !

Too many beats could be another way to put it. I donāt think the animation looks stiff. I do notice the change of timing in between poses, thatās good. You could probably do with out panel 6 (looking at your progress post). Hmmā¦ something else I just realized too.
It seems like heās happy, then paranoid, happy, paranoid, happy, paranoid, casual walk away. He just goes back and forth with being happy and paranoid too many times thatās why I feel like thereās too many poses. So maybe you can take out a pair of those?
If no one is going to pick a new topic by the end of this week, Iāll take the initiative and do it 
In did, thereās not so much difference between this and the last preview I made, but I thereās a few changes in the graph and a larger break in poses 04 and 08.
Iām still not so happy about it, but as Darken-R said, letās go to the next challenge!! 
Canāt wait to the next topic!

Pose 6 does seem rendundant, but it is hard to tell that someone is walking from screen right to screen left because i actually never animated that . The character is supposed to be tracking someone moving thru the scene. Thats why he is paranoid. The animation called for a secondary character but i thought i could get away with just the main character :rolleyes:
I will start a voting thread for the next challenge. Vood did a good job setting up the last one so i think i will copy/paste his thread opener.
Im glad to see people are excited to start the next challenge!
