Hello there!
Been following this forum but not posting that much.
There are so many great stuff here, really a joy to watch it!
Here are few of my animations, some are w.i.p. like skateboarding stuff.
I would like to know how bad or good is this.
(again, sorry for the bad server)
Thanks!

I'm not really much of an animator, but those looked pretty decent to me for the most part. Here and there I noticed some funny movement, but they all seemed to have character. Good work man!

From my pov, I'd say mostly it's the timing that needs the work. Poses and motion look good, but a couple of things are real slow, too quick, held too long, etc.
Awesome though man, definitely a solid start. Damn you Max guys and that awesome rig.

Hey there Peter- you've done a good job so far at animating, and you've got some good sequences in there. I'd concentrate a bit more on some the the lip sync, try and get the character so when he speaks, you can feel the words coming out of him, right now, it kinda looks like the mouth is just moving and streaching - there's an awsome book by which I highly recommend, and it'll teach you quite a bit about how to go about lip lynching.
The scateboarding stuff is pretty good in my opinion, just pay abit around with the landing, try and get a bit more weight behind him, then i think it'll kick ass.
One other thing that stood out was the guy playing football (soccer to all you americans *shakes fist*), the ball right now kinda looks like it's floating a bit, again, try and get a little bit more weight on the ball, make it go up faster as he kicks it, and then slow down and come back down faster again - remember that if you kick a ball up with the same power every time, it's gonna fall back down to the earth at the same speed, there isnt any variation in gravity.
Just some pointers - hope they help you out man, looking forward seeing more work from you.

Hey thank you very much !
I'l sure check that book.
Yeah...you are right..the ball movement is wrong. *Latos is taking his adidas ball and trying to play with it to see the right movement...ups the window *:D (btw does anybody here play FOOTBALL(soccer)except me?)
And my name is Miran, Peter is the name of the guy who made that rigs:)
This means a lot to me, every critic/comment, so thanks again guys!

Ahh right sorry - hello Miran, my mistake sorry. I hope the crit helps you out.
I used to play a lot of football back when I was 11-16, i was a goalkeeper, and I even went as far as having trails for Wales football team! I also had a Manchester United scout checking me and my brother out - then I kinda really grew out of it, I dont watch football, or have nothing at all to do with it anymore - doesnt at all appeal to me.

The video was pretty good. The lip sync needs a bit of work. So does the skateboarding. Watch this video as a ref. They do a lot of sets.

@iest_rob-wow you went far with football! It's a pity you don't watch it because there is some great stuff to watch these days, specially in the Premier League.(sorry for the offtopic )
@flashmasterfong-hey thanks for that video! I have some pro-movies that i use for a reference.
