Hello All and have nice animations.
Today I do animate a Red character base on a sound.
I ask you to critique this little animation and tell me your ideas.
I know the hands have several problems.

I really want to see him taking steps and jumping around. His body language is so expressive that it makes his feet look like they're glued to the floor. Like when he sticks his finger up at the camera, have him take a big step towards the camera too. Dont just have him more left and right, but back and forwards as well. I know it will be a lot more work, but right now you seem to be on track with the body movements while the feet are stuck in place. They dont match each others enthusiasm.

I really appreciate your reply. So nice tricks. I'll use them in the work.
My goal of animating this character is to improve my story telling and body language.
(As you mention it)
Thanks again.

Yeah, definetly need to move the feet. If your having trouble with the hands, try to simplify them. Just make a few good gestures and make the transitions more smooth. Cheers.
