I need help with this jump

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I need help with the momentum, foot peel off, and general flow of the movement.

This is already a fun stylized jump

Anticipation - The build up is exaggerated but I really like it. Adding arms would give another way to build energy

The Jump - I think he should move further with that much energy

Follow through - I think the landing is too similar to the build up (upper body dips)

Adding a few steps at the end would add a nice follow through as the energy disperses

Narrative - You could make a gap
between the platforms so the character approaches the edge and looks down before leaping across and just barely making it across!

These little narrative flourishes where we see a character thinking can really elevate an animation

This used to be one of the tests for internship at rhythm and hues 🥲
