need improvement on lip sink (no phoneme)

Aaron Rivera

Well this is different. Clearly this dog got a bit too attached to it's owner. The story here is well presented and the punchline is nicely executed. I feel like the lip sync could have been more than just an opening and closing of the mouth, though I know it's harder to manage in 3D with animals with long snouts. Otherwise the expressions are pretty well articulated, although I don't think the angry expression on "bad mood" fits the tone of the audio. The movement on the dog is lovably crafted though, especially when paired with the story. Good job overall.

He seems a bit overexcited on the "good mood bad mood", it doesn't match the voice very well.
