===== From dearmad@sapere.com: Good job! Lots of work. Good pacing, not too floaty, like a lot of animations. ===== From evilsnack@hotmail.com: Since you used Rusty, you've stoked my ego, so I gave you a higher score. To anyone else reading this, don't try it. It won't work again. ===== From Markus.Altendorff@asamnet.de: Awesome! Genuinely funny, good clean models, good use of camera animation, fits the topic very well, pokes fun at itself ("supposed to be silent" :), and has a soundtrack (no, that didn't add to my vote, i watched it sound-off first). Hard to believe it took only a month to make! ===== From darwin_gregory@yahoo.com: Very pleased with the story line. The animation of the robot was great, from the appearance until the end, especially the transitions. A slightly more realistic (but not too realistic) person would have improved it in my opinion. ===== From bmh@arkady.demon.co.uk: I thought this was a great entry, it contained good characters and about as much plot as could be expected in 1899 frames and while the sound was good it still seemed to work without (the lip-syncing was well done (but not quite perfect)). Frames 0-120 show us the cartoon style face of the clerk, the head movements and the blinking of the eyes add to the realism. 121-265 Is the view of the desk with a reasonable amount of detail, with a well modeled phone, desk lamp, keyboard, monitor and cables. (Maybe the camera movement in frames 206-226 seems a little jerky and the angle of some of the fingers on the mouse look uncomfortable, but these are minor points). 266-386 The effect of the impostor robot rising out of the floor is nicely done, and I liked the camera movement. 582-666 In the view from behind clerk, the screen saver on monitor is a nice touch 869-917 Robot transforms into soup can, a good sequence with the shape changing as the new pattern fades in (maybe the can could be slightly better lit) 1148-1184 The movement as the robot speaks adds to the realism. 1185-1281 The face illumination and expression of surprise as robot transforms looked good. 1282-1310 Robot has the (quite detailed) 'terminator' head with the glowing eyes (perhaps the jaw movement when speaking could have been larger). 1324-1360 Clerk reaches for panic button, the hand movements seemed reasonably realistic 1361-1397 Robot drops cartoon style. The last 4 frames of this sequence contain some nice detail which I missed until I looked at it frame by frame, but the robot eyes pop further out on stalks and lag behind as the robot head dissapears out of sight. 1398-1510 Trap doors swinging - nice touch (maybe the doors should be swinging more to start with and slow down quicker?) ===== From file: I really enjoyed how you actually had music and audio in your movie, it really improved the overall quality ===== From file: Can't really comment on the technical quality, because every time I watch it I'm distracted by the sheer quality of the story. Well actually the quality of the graphics and animation is superb, which is why one can concentrate on the amusing script. Notable for modelling, lighting, originality, composition, textures ===== From file: neat.
