its good , but as i said you before that I want to have
your say so I can improve.please see it and tell me then I
would delete it because I am sending it for short sequence

the idea with examples and encouraged me to do some
dramatic.

QUESTION: dear sir
  actually i have deleted that and i am trying hard to upload it from last 5 days when i read your message but site is not uploading it. i am trying my best to upload it don't know what's the problem with browser or site i am trying to gets it's solution web page fails to upload it

ANSWER: Hi Vish,

It looks pretty good!  A couple suggestions:

Don't have his head and arms fall downward until his body has hit it's stop point. then the head and arms would follow through after the body stops.
Also the chair can move either down with some squash and stretch or be tilted to screen right and the girl can be put off balance and lags behind the chair to settle position.
Have the girl's arm antic back further and have the punch accelerate into the hit and have Andy's face distort on contact position before turning toward camera.
Also when andy wakes up his breathing should be bigger and faster.

Hope this helps.

QUESTION: Thanks a lot Sir,
         your suggetions helped me a lot because I didn't have any clue about girl's punch. I am very happy and thankful towards you, I was awaiting your precious comments, your words really helped me a lot.

sir,
  as my course is going to complete so anytime I can go for interview in companies, so now your suggetions will be very helpful for me that as a fresher how much quality should be in my work, now you have seen my work and you know where I am so please give your suggetions so I can impress companies with my work, what should I improve so they will selecct me?
well now I have submitted my this clip and if they passes it then after some levels of competition companies will also see it.
so there is always a question in my mind that what companies will prefer, will they give me job or not? nobody here is to tell about production house's liking to select candidate,till now no senior is got selected so that's why it makes pressure on us too.
so please give me some tips for companies too? I have two or three months to practice.

         Regards

Answer
Hi Vish,

If you are in India you should check the web for studios to apply to near where you live.

Here's an article I found that might have some job opportunity info for you.
