A bit floaty. Hold poses.

I really like the idea here with the fish. Very clever. The execution needs work though. I didn't realize on the first watch what was going on. I think maybe something that would help would be to have the guy holding the bowl(as though he'd just done it) instead of it sitting on a table in the middle of the room. Also putting in some fish tank scenery would help make the idea more clear. Beyond that, the lip sync needs a lot of work. I like the little look the guy gives at the end, as though he were really proud of what he did in helping the fish. Great idea, just keep working!

The characters are a bit stuck to the ground, maybe you can add a step or two to make it more natural.
