High Jumping

So I like this new workflow, something I saw on Jason Ryan's website a while ago. Since it's quicker for me to draw out the animation I want (and for some reason I feel less inhibited with pushing poses on paper, wow alliteration hahah!) I started with a 2D version in Flash. It took me about 20 minutes or so to rough it out and get the timing close to where I wanted it.

I key framed out the sequence in 3DSMax (rig by Peter Starostin)and now I just need to tweak the timing and get some break down keys to make the motion look less "swimmy" and sticky.

Quick animation to try and get back on track. It's been almost awhile since I animated and I'm super rusty.
