better timing

I played with the timing but I had a difficult time uploading like I usually do so I did it in this format.

second draft

I've added more frames and worked on the turn. Also, instead of the ball bouncing off the head it rolls on to the feet and then the character picks it up.

This is still a super rough draft. I need to add a lot more frames like as the ball falls toward my character, I'd like to bounce off his head and drop by his feet. Also I don't have a solid turn yet. Overall this is the idea and have lots more to work on.

This is a revised movie clip. There is a slight limp to the character but I kinda like it I think I'm going to accent it so that it's more obvious. Also then end needs to be fixed so that it looks more exaggerated. Hopefully it'll work out.

This is still a very rough sketch of my animation. I need to work on my character's actions, his frame position as well as his weight shift. I think I'll also change the camera angle so that it's not such a flat 2D plane view.

Character Design

I've been working on a character that has a rigid personality. I wanted for my character to be bald, wear glasses and have a little mustache. I am thinking of a bored overworked office manager so that he fits into my story.

walk (redone)

This is the same walk as before except that I tried to work on the hip and the shoulder sway. As you can see, it didn't work so well for me. I had a lot of trouble making the shoulders or the hips sway without affecting one or the other. Walking doesn't come natural to me. I should go back to the cat.
