Animator: Leona Lu

Description: Kayla and Kyle are playing a boardgame one night - and Kyle is really into it. He tells his fantastical story with vigour while Kayla rolls her eyes, clearly unimpressed by his enthusiasm.

Experience: I have created 2D animations for a 4-day game jam and have had 8 weeks of 3D animation classes.

Time taken: 2.5 weeks.

Ryen de los Santos:

The boy's upper body and shoulders needs to move a little when he talks.
I love the different camera angles.

Richard Clark:

Camera shots are established really good. However, your fundamentals are lacking. You just hit the poses but no easing in or any holding moves. They just hit a brick wall.

John Adarlo:

What I like about the animation:
- Good scene, the set (of a bedroom) complements the
kid characters very well.
- The animation is smooth and organic and the lip sync is matches the audio file.

What I think needs improving:
- Exaggerate the character acting and the body language, utilise some more arm movements and add to the eeriness by exaggerating the facial expressions. You can film and use some video references to make your exaggerated movements still feel natural
