Hi guys, this is one of my first two or three post here, and I finally have something I'm happy with. I'm about to graduate in Feb. and this is one animation I was working on for my demo reel. Please take the time to take a look, and tell me what you think.

Thanx in advance. - Z

first off, great animation start. looks very promising... since you asked for crits here you go:

first thing i notice is that at the very start when the character falls and the rope goes taught, its not at the same point as where the rope goes taught in the latter half of the animation. he should drop lower and bounce, if you fix that, i think the animation will look much better.

also he stays in one position while at the bottom too much, his arms and legs are flailing around though except for one or two times, his body doesnt move nearly at all, i would suggest more sway to the rope as well as rotation of the entire body back and forth while on this is going on.

at the end of the part where his head points downward, he goes directly to a parallel position without first doing any counter swinging (ie, he should end up with his legs lower than his body for a time, then come back up to parallel after bouncing back and forth between legs down and then head down (lesser each time))

hope these suggestions help.
