very good in every aspect, perhaps lacking a bit more of emotion but great though

One of the best entries this month IMO, gorgeously lit and rendered, well-acted. Animation could've been pushed a little more (more, bigger movements) but otherwise nicely done. Lots of subtlety in the movements. One of my faves this month.

I like the story you made!

Ben Zingo

the poses and staging look pretty good, but it seems like you're afraid to really break out from those key poses. Don't be afraid to exaggerate! Straighten out the back at moments, and then let it fall back forward for moments of emphasis or emotion change.
Overall nice, you could just push it further!

Patrick Tran

Good job getting a full render out! I like the starting poses, they have nice silhouette clearly showing the dynamic of the characters! I think some more change in the poses would be nice to reflect the energy of the dialogue such as the "YEAH" part and the part before. With the lighting choice I think it's doing a disservice for your animation. It's heavily facial expression but I think it's a bit dark and kinda difficult to see it in some parts so try to be conscious about what lighting would best service your animation in the future. Overall good job though

love the ideas , the poses are ok , the timing seem off , facial ..brows are disconnected ...

Excellent staging: no explanation at all necessary!

Cool shot, but the movements are too abrupt, they're "hitting a wall"
