Description

For me, few movies are as good as It's a Wonderful Life. This animation is a small homage to a situation George Bailey found himself in when nothing seemed to go his way and he felt everyone would be better off without him.

The best animation so far. Well done!

Nicholas Price

awesome render

Paula Decanini

The tone feels off with the expression and gestures of the old man. He's talking down a suicidal person, maybe not be so casual, almost cheerful?

Diane Aarts

aw this one was sweet :)

philipp seis

very nice setting. The gesturing of the elder guy at the end might need some more work.

liltael

Very nice render!

Tobias Fuhr

has a weird flick in left foot of the first scene when the old man pull the guy. 287-311 the right hand of suicide man get up with a strange overlap.

Janzelle

Awww. The cry at the end was very believable. Love the story telling in this.

Some parts are really good, and some others need improvement

picture quality is good but animation needs to improve some places...

VERY nice subtlety with the weather. I also really like the shots you went for. As for your animation, you have a nice use of arks, In the fingers, and the arms. I suppose the only thing I can really comment on is, where is your character's weight after he changes emotions? In the first shot he's clearly balancing, so in the last shot (especially when he takes his arm down from the railing) he should be thinking about where his weight lies (which foot, which arm, which body part is in charge of stopping him from falling). You don't have to make him wobble, you just have to know where his weight is with each movement
