I would get moe movement going on in the shoulders and hips. Think about more left and right motion, and put some overlapping action in the head.

You have some popping knees that you should look into sorting out too!

Looks really nice on the whole. I just think that pushing the movement would help sell it a little better! Good work! :thumbsup: Hope that helps some.

WOW! Nice presentation. ANIMATORS TAKE NOTE. This is a great way to show off your work. One video, FOUR views! Frame numbers too.

Now for some critique:

Head is way too static. More secondary motion.
feet are kinda far apart...scoot them a little closer together.
the hips rotate, and shift over the planting foot, but I dont feel that his WEIGHT is shifting over the foot. Try a litte side to side motion on the whole body.
The feet lift up too high, like hes walking in water or tall grass. Really, the foot only needs to lift just enough to clear the ground. Our bodies are very efficient like that.
when his right foot is planted and the left foot is passing, I think that you are lifting him up too high. Its straightening his leg out. Leave some bend in there.
The point at which his head is highest is too soon. It should really come later, Like when hes' just about to plant a foot.
nice start. Really nice presentation (some compression artifacts aside)

Thank Vyntax and Adam for your critique!

I knew there are some problems with the animation but I was having trouble to identify them, now I can see the points you mentioned and I'll see to fix them.

Thank you!
