In Michael Vok’s standing to sitting animation, he need to work on applying squash and stretch to the character. The moment the character touches the chair, from the small of the back up to the head, it stops moving which gives the viewer the impression that the character is weightless. The hands of the character do not change from the stock Norman pose until they touch the chair. This was a poor choice in that it gives the impression that this was made in a rush and it makes the character look stiff. Despite these faults, he was able to achieve smooth animation without any awkward jumps in it. If these mistakes were to be corrected, this would be a strong piece of animation.
