I can't believe.... It really walks!!!!

This is what I been waiting for... After almost 10 weeks of seeing a ball bouncing, finally we started making a simple cycle walk.
Almost all week I was so hook in the process of making my first walk cycle with Ballie, that I even dream of it like 2 or 3 times. Because there's a lot of movement in that ball with legs. The rotation of the hips, legs, feet, toes... and don't forget the animator's nightmare... KNEE POPPING!!!!
I made my animation like 4 times trying to get rid of that knee popping, but finally i think i made it.
So here's my animation for a simple vanilla walk....

Jumping and jumping

For my next assignment i spent a whole week trying to make this guy jump in a real manner. I started with a amazing 20km long and 40km height jump. After some comments... I decided to back off and make a normal... real jump.
I really loved making this assignment. First of all, because i never before made an animation of a jump and also because after polishing my arcs and paths of action my animation took a different dimension. It look nice!!!!... well at least for me =)
