what's happening, does she drop a mirror?
Timothy Muller:
Hi there. My biggest pieces of advice are these:
1. Experiment with perspectives and camera shots (the close up on the teacher is quite extreme).
2. The girl's animations are even. Many of her motions happen all together (especially her arms) and at weird times. The final grab and pull back for the phone looks crunchy.
3. Play around with your concepts more. The biggest confusion I had with this was, the "boy" is a girl. The story is already off to an odd start, and I don't understand the set. Is it an elevator?
Overall, keep up the good work.
