Kiefer Paulson:

I love the story behind this one! really really good job with the two characters interacting with each other. my only critique is that maybe, just maybe, the first shot cuts to the second a few frames too fast. beautiful piece though. I'm jealous.

Noyan Özkan:

well, almost everyone failed at reflecting this heavy exhaustion feeling to us in animation . You made it much better at least. Half of the shots were gibberish playblasts which animated with morpheus..

the first dialogue, maybe the head move could be a bit smoother.
also the swinging arms after the head move.

maybe the blue guy could move so slightly while listening.
maybe you could turn them to the camera a bit more in the second part of the dialogue. we see them from profile and it looks like a poor angle. but the camera placements are good overall, only the character placements is a bit off in the second part.

i have a hunch that, this participant might turn out anthony travieso.

this work is second to none this month.
