crazy plot twist!
Richard Clark:
Animation is floaty throughout. Lip sync could improve. Make sure not to isolate motion; if you are animating the head or limbs, make sure the body supports that. Think of the body as the core motion to express your character. Never neglect that. Is the character with the helmet stabbing the right character at the end? It's hard to see what's going on other than the expression change.

Definitely something I won't forget. It is different with a cursed skeleton to cause the conflict between these amphibians. Characters react to things happening to them and this is a wonderful example of it. Excellent job!
Namie Palisoc:
The animations looks good in terms of rendering. However, I do think it needs more character exaggeration through posing and timing to make the story behind your animation powerful. Most of the movement felt stiff and quite weak where utilizing more arcs, anticipation, and other 12 principles of animation would not only strengthen your animation but provide more story to it through clear body language. I am unsure of the skeleton popping up in the background. I understand it is about two frogs attempting to be brave in some dark haunted space, but I felt like it could have been told better with better staging and of course animation. The skeleton popping up in this context felt redundant. Removing the skeleton would still keep the story the same. I would have have had skeletons or ghosts be running around the background to give the viewers a cue that the two characters are in a haunted space while still providing focus on their dialogue,
