I really like the fluid animation of the park ranger's movements in this! I think the scene could be improved by having more background animation on the animal while the focus is on the Ranger's movements

Good attempt! lips are not quite synchronised and lack of facial expression. Would be nice to see it finished with some motion on the leopard in the second shot.

Will Kavukis

The idea is great! and i enjoyed it alot, just the fact that the leopard does not have any animation while the guy is talking is a shame

I just wish to see the cat flinch when he touched his nose but overall nice lighting and character interaction

Nice! Great follow through on the arm swings, it looked very natural. Where is the peak or climax? I think it's the "ya basic" line - but the character's poses didn't really reflect that. I felt the poses here very were realistic and understated (and great!), but it would have been nice to have something "big" at some point.

Could go for some more movement on the leopard's torso.
