Stop-motion Practice Toe touch and Ball throw

 I found it difficult to control the puppets movements and make the action feel fluid and natural. I feel my toe touch animations went better then my ball throw animation because I didn't quite get the anticipation right and when the puppet threw the imaginary ball I put too many frames in, which caused it to seem like a weak throw. I learned a lot from this exercise. I learnt that a rapid action doesn't need that many frames as long as the anticipation is long enough. I also learnt that I need to play around with the puppets joint tension in order to get the puppet to be flexible enough for the movement not to feel stiff.
