Thread: Certain Death lipsync critiques appreciated

Started 3 months, 1 week ago by JMaple
I feel like this is a good start, however, I keep thinking there is to little going on, or rather that the bodies in my lipsync are too stagnant. Either way I still felt that this was a decent time to get a critique before I moved on. http://s184.photobucket.com/albums/...ent=test4_2. flv

This can be funny in the end . Right now the posing feels like it is a bit too much. I think you'd get more out of the characters if you focused on subtle movements and just peaked the animation at certain times. Have you tried to film yourself acting it out? That'd give you a good start to make them appear more unique in character. Or maybe you have footage of the voice actors? Have fun!...

The second cut keep the character more subtle keep the motion in the third cut perhaps?

He also puts his hand behind there chair a little too fast. at the end the guy with the white shirt looks like his ...

Lots of great stuff going on here. I really like the concept. Here are just some ideas over all after watching it quite a few times. I agree with Ustel3Dman about the first shot being way too floaty and awkward with his palm facing away from us. I would totally take that shot out. In a reel review it would be more if a "what was that, did he just break his arm"? but in a review they would not ...

I back tracked a lot, I didn't see a anyone posting for a long time so I hadn't taken into consideration your critiques because I didn't know they were there! I just restarted. http://www.vimeo.com/7677460 Thank-you everyone who replied!!! With the issue of the dropping the first portion I really didn't want it to begin with however, it seemed like it was needed to get the point ...
