not bad

definately rearrange your shots, your first shot is good, I would remove your beast shot as it needs a lot of work, and put your walk cycle, then the dog. I'd also suggest putting in an acting piece somewhere.

Critique suggestions: 1. it does NOT need to be longer to the guy who posted below. 2. Your poses in the first shot were good, make sure the arms, hands have follow through. Be aware of pops in all your work. Pops are killers. It's true you beast has no weight, the doors burst open without his weight on it, the jump on the end needs an anticipation pose, fix that pop in the hand on the walkcycle, Have the dog follow through on the tackle, as well as have expression to his face.

sign, ok if i crit yours you do the same to mine ok :) first off should be longer,... most and all your animation looks far too slow, or too much slow in slow out movemenets. you need to look at your follow through actions or your second animation of your ninja theres so much still to do on your showreel that big best donse't look like it has any weight, the right hand of your walk cycle snaps too fast.

I agree with most the comments so far. The walk does have a pop in the Left hand, but it is by far the best piece you have. Fix the popping. The other animations need to be snappier and tightened up. They definitely float to much and their pacing is too rhythmic, meaning everything feels like it happens at the same pace and cadence. My suggestions would be work on your animation curves, quicken things up. For example, the beast floats to much in the air and should slam upon landing. Good luck!

creature jump is to flying like cut before he jumps or omit.

Hey I think I saw that "dog" gag on Cameron Miysazaki's demo reel, dont just rip off animation from people's reels, they might sue you...

[theazz]

some of the creature stuff is too floaty, the moom walk cycle is best and thsu should be first

[protommie]

you should put more weigth in the creature jump.

but further great animation.

Very nice arcs and flow on the last two rigs,the dog was beautify animated. However your first three would do well to have the weight and timing reconsidered.
