PS: I did NOT steal the new tests on the list, however, I DID animate them after a close study of Baha's tutorial.

i rated pretty dang bad but thats because you just started pivot, theirs no way you can be really good when you just start it takes months to get really good like it does with any animating program(examples: flash, easytoon, tisfat, endorphin, etc.)

lol, your first one was in slow motion! XD

I voted for "Not too bad...", I'm actually one who sees everything positive, anyway.

Try not to use movement with the same spacing over and over again.
I have a simple formula on how to make easing almost perfectly for almost each situation:

For rather slow movements:
Multiply 1 with 2, then 2 with 2, etc.

For medium fast movements:
Multiply 1 with 3, etc.

For heavy spacing \ gravity:
Multiply 1 with 4, etc.

Where the number to be multiplied is always one pixel.
Also, always set up a maximum speed!

Also, stiffness is just a little bit here... try working on it a bit more.
Also, to make it look even smoother try onion-skin trailing (move a bone forward but make the outer bones point to their last location).

And don't try to make unrealistic movements \ impossible movements, they're weird >.<

[Off topic]
Also, there should be definitely a rule for posting constructive criticism!

Not bad....not bad at all

base your votes on the one that you think is the best please. Thanks!

i would say now your pretty good, youve improved alot since ive last seen your animation im gonna give you a med-beginner level almost high-beginner keep it up man!

I know, it's the running mainly. I was told to do it like that, and I realized it was horrible like that >.<

Based on what I've seen so far I say high beginner. Not inter by almost. My favorite is probably the combo thing. 8 on the combo
