    Hey Avner,

    Sorry for the slow reply. I hope I’m not replying to this too late. Here are my first up impressions: I love the direction this is going in! It feels natural… and the guy comes across as believable! A couple of small things I noticed the first time I watched this. When his left hand points out to the side to indicate to whom he’s talking to… it feels as though he’s ment to be hugging someone… wierd, I know. I guess more of a hand silhouette would help here. Watch the eyeline… he starts off in one direction and then looks off in another… is he talking to a single person or a crowd of people?

    The acting choices you have in the last half are good. Feels a tad busy in the first half… sometimes less is more… maybe acting more in pose for the first half would be better… would help to add contrast for the second half, also… as the beat is very similar throughout… be careful of the twinned arm pose on 192.

    Other than that… we’ve done really well… your timing feels really good.

    Nice work, Avner!
