it always cracked me up how in cartoons and such they get a bomb from behind their back, where they seem to have a bag of infinite holding.

here's a tip: when animating a character that is standing, the way to know how to place the frames is by looking at the feet, the foot that the character is using to support it's weight will most likely not move in any direction.

helps to act the scene and note where your feet are. feet moving all over the place it what makes an animation the sloppiest.
