Well this is my first real animation other than a few walk cycles, took me about a week.
I don't see any major problems outside of the framerate issue I had, in Maya it plays faster than it rendered out so the falling scene looks wrong but I had to hand in and didn't have time to fix it. It is of a Dodo model walking and pushing a box. Please critique.

It's only 4.33MB.

Good start, and I got a really good laught out of it.
The action was quick, easy and humorious.
Best luck and lots of fun with animating.

hah i think this is cute, and ultimate having character is mega important.

i feel this piece needs some texture to the timing, take a few of the motions and quicken them

have fun

It seemed pretty good. I am just learning how to do animation via 3d now. But you seem to be giving the character's decent weight, especially the box. One thing you should change is that sound you have at the end is the death jingle in Super Mario World. I have a feeling that is copyrighted by Nintendo.

Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it.

I am going to definitly play around with the timing when I have some more time and more experience.

Thanks again. :D
