As a mental break from the real world, I thougth I’d give this animation challange a try. This is the initial timing I came up with, but I want to get the timing “locked down” before animating, so please comments on the general idea and timing improvements are welcome.
Finally up…
Pass 2 on animatic. Sorry, nothing pretty yet…
Ok, nobody likes crappy greasepencil animatics… so I’ve moved on to the first blocking pass. I must say that the greasepencil passes really saved a lot of time on doing this blocking.
Anyone out there? - I’d hate to start into the details and THEN have some obvious error pointed out. 
My first advice: Make clear what are you trying to show because for me it doesn’t make any sense. Also try to avoid using the Base bone to move the rig around the scene.
Good luck
Yeah, I think it’s still too rough to criticize, try some posing and timing or you’ll run out of time, you have only two weeks to go…
Sorry… double post
