Here's a couple of animation tests I've done for my upcoming movie: Average Joe: Bigger, Stupider, and Unintelligent (YES, that is a spoof on the South Park
movie title
)The goal is to have a "fuller" look to the animation compared to the web series (Viewable here: http://www.freewebs.com/jtn1989/averagejoeseries.htm ) which is okay for what it is but not appropriate for a movie.

In my opinion this looks better then just going from one static pose to the next.
I'll keep experimenting and posting!
I'd appreciate and feedback you have to offer!
