Result of 11 Second Club July competition

Click picture or HERE to watch clip or click HERE to see comeents.

I got 5.77 Stars and 12nd out of 161 entries!!!!! Awesome!

The part even better is I got a lot of comments which are very objective and helpful. Its alway good to get some fresh eyes and something different points of view. I think that will be the biggest reason I joined the competition.

There are many things they point out and I can't agree them any more,

*Stiffness on face.
*Need more work on lip-sync.
*Stiffness on body.
*Need more emphasize or accent the dialogue, such as "He has a gift".
* more and more...

You guys really got me, aren't you? ;-P

I think in this animation, I afraid to fall in Cliche trap, so that I forget, as an animator, we still need to give character the entertaining value, even its subtle. If I can do it again, I might need to shot the reference and try to chatch more details, especially for a subtle clip like this, I need more details to support character and avoid stiffness.

For facial polishing, I know, I think that is the biggest part I'm lacking. That is also the reason I want to do more practices.

Thank you all to point out want I need and I appreciate all comments.
