I like it, but I would like to see more body movement, it will give your character much more power. I don't know how it's rigged, but you could lock the feet bones and give the body some up and down on the accents of the expressions. Just an idea.

It's a good idea -- thanks for the comment!

I agree with selgin, a bit of anticipation prior to the arm lifting maybe
Very funy

Put some movement into the body. Still a little stiff, but definitely looks better!
Take (another) bath, hippy!

yeah, that looks better, but actually what I meant is something like this, where feet are locked and that horizontal bone moves the whole body
I know the movement of this example is crazy, but when you give your character an entire body movement with the feet on the ground, it gets a lot more life, in my opinion. So maybe when the guy says "yes, you", for example, he could start the phrase going down, hold on it some frames and then up fast on the "you". then hold on up until "take a bath", where he coud go down and up, hold on up some frames and then again go down and up during "hippy".
I think that for this kind of animations works very well to hold some positions and then make a fast movement and hold again (spoonze's work is a great example of that kind of movement), slow motion doesn't work good, it's less believably on many cases.
As GCharb said, a bit of anticipation will work fantastic too.
I'm sorry if I'm bothering you with all this recommendations, it's just I like the idea and I would like to help to make it better.

Not at all. I'm grateful for the comments. I suppose, subconsciously, I'm avoiding trying to lock the feet because I can never get it to work properly! I'll screw up my courage and try your suggestions...thanks.selgin wrote:I'm sorry if I'm bothering you with all this recommendations, it's just I like the idea and I would like to help to make it better.
