Hi everyone, thanks a lot for the critiques, here is the new version after yours inputs. Cheers. ®

Hey Guys, Starting on a new scene here and I thought I’d post it up for your thoughts. Any comments and suggestions are welcome – do me a favour and tear it apart! Big thanks to Kevin for the model and rig and to Jackie for the XSI tutorials.

Hi Everyone… I didn’t give up on the Strongest Man shot… hehehe… I tried to make it more entertaining as all of you suggest. Thanks in advance for the critiques… Cheers!!

Hey there, Here is a new acting piece I just started working on. Any critiques you have would be great! Scott

Hey Guys, been working on this shot for awhile now, and I think its time for some feedback! Still a little rough, needs work on the face/hands/fingers. but if you have any comments please let me know. Tear it apart! thanks! Monster – shot 1

So Kev and I were just chatting and I was ABOUT to suggest that I put something on here to ask: “When should we have another animation club meeting and what should it be about?”, when it struck me!  JUST DO IT!  So that pretty much ensured we’d be sued by Nike, but also, lets [...]

Hey Guys….Just wanted to share the ‘final’ version of the scene. There are still things to improve on, for sure, but I’ll take what I learned on this and put it towards the next one. Thanks for all your comments – looking back to that first blocking post, it’s clear that the scene has really [...]

Hey guys….I updated the slap and antic to the ” ’cause I am ” part. Let me know what you think… Going to do a pass on the hands and arms next. Again, thanks for the feedback!

Hi Everyone… I have a pass on everything, and am going to begin polishing and putting a bit more texture in the timing to get rid of some of the driftiness. I know the slap needs work (both characters) but I’m still figuring out the best way to solve it. Please have a look and [...]

Hey Guys…I wanted to show the progress on the scene. Made a few changes and just put the pirate-guy in splines – so it’s still swimming a fair bit. Please take a look and let me know anything that sticks out to you. Thanks!

Hey Guys…Blocking out a new scene and wanted to post up early for any feedback or thoughts you might have to make it better. I’m thinking of setting it in a psychologists office, and have the nerdy guy flipping a page back in his book (but I haven’t rigged that up yet) Check it! Thanks!

Hi Everyone!! Thanks a lot for all your feed-back. This last week I had time to work on the shot again. As you can see it still with linear tangents. All the best

Hi Everyone. I’m working on this weight shot. Thanks in advance for all the critiques. It still with LInear Tangents.

Thanks for the feedback so far guys – it’s been very hurtful, I mean, helpful. At Melt’s suggestion I put the scenes together for this update. My goal is to stop working on this piece in the next week and I would love one more critique from all of you. Be as picky as you [...]

Hey guys – I quickly put in some different actions for the beginning and end. I think it has the potential to be tighter and more interesting than the other one once polished up – but I’m pretty close to it right now. Let me know what you think… Thanks!

Had some time on the weekend to spline out this scene. Everything’s got a pass on it, but as you’ll soon see, at different levels. There’s still lots of cleaning up to do (particularly the hands and face) but any feedback pertaining to the gestures, acting, timing, clarity, etc., of the piece would be appreciated. [...]

Haven’t included the 2ndary character just yet!

Hi Guys, Here is the latest version of Judge Me. I change the arms a bit, I think like this is more natural. Thanks for feedback.

Rejiggered the blocking for this scene to add a bit of movement. I also changed the key poses for “…about them”, and I think for the most part, the changes are making it feel much better. Next post will probably be splined, but any feedback on this would be appreciated. Will remember to add a [...]

Here’s the progress for Shot_2 of the little scene I’m working on. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

hey guys, reworked this a bit. the end is the least polished at this point, but Im not to sure about the poses. what do you guys think? Thanks!

Hey guys, heres another pass on my shot, just working some inbetweens in… still not sure if the pose on “gangley” is working, any thoughs?Nice Person_v3-Desktop

hey guys, heres a pose and timing pass for an anim im working on. If you have any comments please have at em, tear this to shreds! its funny, i haven’t keyed in..8 months? I think its showing. Thanks yall!

Hi Dudes and Dudets Sorry… but those last two weeks I had a lot of work to do (designs) and I couldn’t participate often. And today I’m going to the hospital to do a radioactive treatment for my thyroid and because here in Europe the laws are very restrict I will be obligate to be [...]

So, there’s obviously still some things in here that could be tweaked, but I’ve learned a lot, and I’m feeling it’s time to move on to the next thing. You guys know how it is Thanks all for your help and comments!!

Okay, did some changes on the pose when he hits ‘Clear’ and started working on the hands. Hopefully it makes things a bit clearer. I’d like to put in some time polishing so any feedback would be great. Thanks guys!

This is as far as I got with it before it was due. I’d still like to hear your critiques even though the contest is closed. Thanks to everyone for all the ideas and critiques! Check out the competition and even vote if you can handle going through all 127 of them.

Still stuff to fix… need fresh eyes… I agree and intend to change that first pose Kev, I just didn’t get around to it. I’m thinking this’ll be my last post bugging you guys for feedback (famous last words), so please point out anything and everything that sticks out at you. Thanks!!!

Alright here’s my WIP now splined and with first pass lip synch. I tried to solve the hand competing with the head based on the feedback and still keep the gesture – which I felt was lost if I lowered the hand too much. Instead, I brought the hand to screen left of the face. [...]

For some reason it’s not exactly rock-solid. I get times where it just won’t let me. I’m figuring it out, but in the meantime you can let me know and I’ll help to do it manually (involves FTPing the file to the site and then plopping the URL in manually. Not convenient, but if you [...]
