Quick update on the left test, I am actually thinking of turning into a short film. One of of my workmates gave me this really cool idea (cheers Aidan!) so check back in to see how it progresses.

Hey Avner,
It’s looking good… I really like the concept… some good exaggeration in there for sure. Maybe a bit long, though. Could probably take half out n still get the same result. Maybe simplify it even more and build the energy… maybe something more unexpected for the ending? Mechanics wise, it’s not too bad… I’m just looking at it more from a story point of view. Don’t be aftraid to add long pauses, also… pauses can also be thought of as exaggeration…
I’m trying to be as picky as I can… I think functionally it works fine… i’m just trying to look at the best possible outcome… I think maybe when he’s pulling really hard on the handle it could come off and hit him in the head… he could then fall to the ground unconcious…then maybe the tower could fall on him after that… something really crazy to finish it… don’t know… but felt the pulling was bringing it to a conclusion. Sometimes exaggeration in story as well as animation can add a lot… u sometimes have to think outside the box… the unexpected etc.
But good job on the animation… and particularly the staging!
