Sebastian Ciubuca:

Mike Schanbacher:

Awesome story...made me laugh.

Michael O'Brien:

Great story, great punchline! Didn't think this could work with just one person on-screen for most of the time but you've pulled it off. I think it's just one or two of the acting choices that you might want to re-examine. For example, not sure why at frame 290 he appears so disgusted. Was that what you were going for? And then in the beginning when he's trying to look like he wasn't playing with the bell, not sure why he would be embarrassed/afraid of being caught. I like the action but maybe just having him continue to look bored would make more sense or else have him doing something a little more embarrassing/suspicious with the bell.

Michael Kristiansen:

Very cool idea, and nice animation.

Raffaele:

The best so far :)

Jessica "Jess" Jerome:

Iain Wilson:

haha creative

Coffee N Milk:

I like his expression , look cool .

Sajid Ali Mansoori:

Nice Animation but Story does not suitable with this situation.

Julian Chai:

OOSOOOOOM!! THis should be the winner!

Martin Strom:

I think this idea is hilarious! The animation is on the guy is perfect but the flamingo-ring lands on the table pretty stiff. The camera should be moved a little bit to the left side at the close-up shot. Otherwise, I love this, top 3 of the 3d-animated ones in my mind! Great job!

nabil:

good

David BESNIER:

Annie Iglesias:

Very creative use of the quote!

Jay Jörg Smith:

Really nice. Had to laugh a lot! Last pose really is really hilarious!

Sean Kiley:

Such a good concept. Great acting. Only part confuses me is his initial reaction to the float seems to convey its not his, then goes to glee, then back to realizing its not his.

Gavin:

I love everthing about this the rigs the rendering everything!

Suyog Patil:

Arpitashah:

Ruth Agada:

The fact that he was excited before he realize that it's a swan cracked me up. I love his movement. Great job.
