Hi

Here's my two cent worth.

To start with keep it simple, no Dynamic anything.

I've only been at this for a year or so, so I'm no expert but I have learned a few basics.

Make key frames and put break splines on them every 15 frames to start with.

Pose your character at the start and move from the start to the finish without backing up. Later you will make many changes in you animation but to start with try not to.

You can put your key frames in first, go to the Animation dropdown and select Resample Keyframes and tell it to put one every 15 frames, remember that represents a half second, so don't move things too much.

Use the Next Key Frame button, lower right to move from frame to frame.

Study the animation palette, it's the key to the whole thing, it you just start creating movements you will have problems, believe me I know! LOL

I didn't have a clue, I had arms going everyplace.

So in short make key frames move from start to end with out backing up too much.

And learn how the animation palette works and what spline breaks do.  They stop the movement from continuing on past the pose, some time you will want this but not at the start.

Just get in and give it a shot and post the results here, you'll get some help.

Come back with specific questions and I'm sure someone will give you an answer.

If you shoot a mime, do you need a silencer?
