The First Full Attempt

This was my first go at the whole animation, which due to the little pauses and breathing, made it to 540 frames.
I was told in class that i wasn't allowed to make him swing around the middle column, as it wasn't part of the brief.
This is the first one, where he (it's male) swings.

I really like the little effects, the stones that come out of the column and add to the solid nature of the ball. (though that's something i WON'T be using in maya...)
