Re: Box Lift Animation --Critiques, please!
Fun animation, just doesn't make much sense. Seems like you're trying to show off all these animation skills by putting stuff in the scene for no real reason: the falling over, the excessive ammounts of glancing around the room, the finger wiggles. Stop imagining this guy as something you're animating, and watch it as if… -
Re: Box Lift Animation --Critiques, please!
I have seen short films that were shorter than this. Short films that people spent about a thousand hours just animating. How long have you spent on this? And this is for your animation reel? Do you really think people are gonna watch over a minute of a box lift? This should be a 5 second animation tops. And even if this… -
Box Lift Animation --Critiques, please!
I am planning on putting an animation reel together asap, so I can apply to some nearby companies and FINALLY get the ever-illusive first industry job... So, as per usual Polycount style, please check out this animation I've been working on and rip it to shreds :D I chose to do a box lift, cause it seems like an important… -
Re: Box Lift Animation --Critiques, please!
I agree with Tim, there are some good aspects and most of the animation seems very fluent, but like everyone has said the beginning is far too long. If all your trying to show off is someone lifting up a box then why would you have your main character relaxing on the floor and then falling down after standing up? Keep at… -
Re: Box Lift Animation --Critiques, please!
Yep its always painful to hack out work but that's what story boards and planning are for. It happens less and less, the more you plan and the less you animate straight away. It's easier to hack out a few 2D scribbles than it is to cut out hours of work. They don't need to be anything pretty and no one needs to see them.… -

I was gonna post last night but felt it'd be rude to say it looked identical! I can't get Youtube @ work, I'll have a look later, can only repeat what others have posted based on the original one , in that a, he looks drunk - if it IS supposed to be drunk (alchoholic removal man) then maybe incorporate a bottle somewhere,… -
Re: Box Lift Animation --Critiques, please!
Thanks again for the comments!! Vig - I was pretty well aware I wasn't going at this the best, or even correct way. I think it was one of those things where you can hear and understand the advice, but until you've made the mistake yourself, it just doesn't sink in. Now that I've gotten that bit of sillyness out of the way,… -
Re: Box Lift Animation --Critiques, please!
I'm no animator but here's my impression: The pacing is too long, it seems to take ages to stand up or look at things. Why does the character collapse when leaning on the block? This and the slow movement makes the character seem feeble and incapable of supporting their own weight. It also makes the vase look super heavy.… -
Re: Box Lift Animation --Critiques, please!
You've got some great stuff in there, some nice motion at points and some good weight, nice work. Notes: 0:10 - Hands shift oddly thought the floor, can probably cure this with planted keys. it looks like you might have over key'ed this part and you might want to simplify it a little. 0:17 - Why the drunk wobble? 0:24 - I… -
Re: Box Lift Animation --Critiques, please!
Hey, what would make this GREAT to critique is a frame counter - but without that first off I will say its a bit too long - the first part to the stand up should be cut down significantly. When he pulls his leg it doesn't feel like a pull it feels like he moved both at the same time - but thats not how it would actually…
