Kaeman - random animation

Description

Right, I'm not sure if this is allowed to be in this section. It's a pencil test, but I saved it in swf format for easier viewing. Making an animated gif is too much hassle.

So, this is something random I did outta boredom. There have been times this week where I couldn't actually do any work for many reasons (file formatting, work being at home, time, equipment failure etc) so I've been doing this in my "spare" time. It's Kaeman doing...something. I didn't really think about what he's doing, just went and did it. I figured I needed to practice animating some more, since I've been doing relatively little of it lately.
I'm aware of the mistake in it already, but I guess some critique would be good. Some examples;
-he seems to suffer from shrinking head/body syndrome
-his mouth disappears, but that's due to laziness and not a mistake
-his hands seem to just "jump" up rather move and come to rest. Again, me not thinking about the timing there
-and if I'm to be picky, his eyebrows keep getting thinner and thicker =p

So yeah, here it is :)

Edit: um, give it time to play out once before commenting. After that it should play at normal speed.

Wow, great animation! The movements are really smooth.

Question(if you don't mind): Is every sketch, to help create movement, different, or are certain sketches repeated?(I saw one of those flipbook comics once and some of the slides were the same)
