I choose this scene because I thought it would look great for my character to be mimicking the possum doing the little dance at the beginning of the scene.

Simple storyboard for the Animation
This is the key poses for
the dance at the beginning of the scene that the possum does, I watch the dance many ti
mes and studied it throughly, and wrote down the timing of each movement to sync it with the possum character.
2nd Key Poses
These rough key poses are for when Mr Fox say's "Is that your new trademark then?" which my character then responds by nodding enthusiastically at Mr Fox, then turns around to the possum seeing him shrug, so then turns back around giving a "i don't know" shrug. says "Is that your new trademark" and then my character responds by
3rd Key Poses
These key poses are for after Mrs Fox say's "I'm pregnant again" and my character reacts to that in an awww fashion by bring his hand together and swaying his head to the side, but then he gets a little bored while The two foxes are talking and then just looks at the floor while scratching his head.

Stepped Key's FFox from Sarah Jurgens on Vimeo.
These are my key poses so far, that i've just stepped out, i used the storyboard poses above. This is just the beginning part of the animation, of the dancy bit, i made the arms symmetrical just like the possums, so it will look more stop motion and mechanical.

This is the animation stepped out to the full time, 453 frames, the first part i have made linear, and the rest is just stepped out at this stage.
Lineared & need to be splined from Sarah Jurgens on Vimeo.
So far i've lineared the animation ad you can see above, I'm just needing to spline it now and i want to add in the character doing something at the end like maby scratching his head because he doesn't look like he's doing much, and nobody stands still, so i think i'll add that in.

This is everything splined so far, the parts where the character isn't moving is because he is going to be rotoscoped out of the scene.
