Description

My first submission to the 11 Second Club! Animated using Source Filmmaker. Model used is the Enhanced Soldier by Maxxy.

Went for kind of a subtle expression rather than the hyperactive cartoon look. I see a lot of those and I hope I'm not out of place.

Hmm. Pretty good. Try to make the body moves better timed and not so floaty and this would make it even closer to the top!

Looking good! A little more work and this could be a fantastic piece.

The things you need to work on now are the hands, eyebrows, and paths.

1. For the hands, I would polish them more so that they have more movement and have a clearer silhouette.
2. The eyebrows movements are not noticeable enough. I would push the poses more.
3. Back to the hands, I would also look at the paths that they take. The hands take very straight and even paths. I would add more acceleration/deceleration and put a curve on the path that they take.

Nice setting... this one has a lot of potential. Maybe a little floaty at times... just needs more texture in the timing... everything is moving at the same timing/pacing.

Sam Baker

Too many hand gestures.. maybe give him something to hold or do aside from just standing there. I like the motion though. Keep it up!

Krish Raghav

Nice eye ball movements.... Nice Character selection... But in the start n end poses the upper body mesh near armpit gets collapsed... Make a note of it.... Could u pls lemme know where u got d character from... Can u gimme d link to download....

Love the acting choices here. Very subtle and strong. Don't think the camera move is necessary however!

Mohammad Rasool Rahimi

I think this one is the best and it should win.

Amartya Mukherji

very good. felt like camera movement was too much

Richard Clark

Pretty decent. His body posture looks a little strange at the beginning and the end.

Eshan

That free-hand camera feel!
