Hey Throlus

Good start on you animation. I have some suggestions for you:
Your animation could need much faster timing and better spacing.
At the moment the char is dropping linear instead of becoming faster so that is what I would change spacing wise. For the timing, I think you could shorten the dropping by 2 seconds. Think of something like a ball dropping, it will move from out of screen down to the floor in maybe a second or 2. The most important point in animation is to look at references, get a feeling on how things move in reality and exaggerate the movement. I would reccomend you a book called "The animatiors survival kit" to learn about the basics in animation. It's fun to read and will definitly be an eye opener.
Yea I hope you have fun animating those things. byebye

Tks for the comment =)

I dont have much experience with animation... this is kind of my first real char animation =P... i fear that if i make him fall faster, it will be hard to see it, or confusing... but the timming realy is wierd...

I´ll take a look about this book, i really need to get some study on animation, tks =)

Just as a little input (can't explain it all here). Sometimes you need not see everything if you see the result of an action. Like an arrow been shot, Its enough when you see the arrow hitting something wobbling a bit after the impact, no need to see the flight of it.
