Hello,

You’re off to a good start, but right now, the jump and roll feel weightless. It needs to happen faster in my opinion. It’s a shame I can’t give you any real feedback, as the Youtube player doesn’t allow frame by frame scrolling - if you can upload a quicktime anywhere, I’ll be happy to break things down for you.

But to me, right off the bat, the impact of his arms hitting the ground after the jump and into the roll doesn’t feel very strong, we need to feel like the arms is taking the weight there, but right now, it just kinda washes over.

Keep playing around with the timing - push it, make it faster.

You need an anticipation before the jump in the air and then this aniticipatin would push him th rough the air faster(bout 4 frames less maybe)and obviously spaciing favouring the peak on the jump then he snaps into the front roll which could be a tad faster too. Nice motion tho its smooth.

Good work!
