It was a lot of fun but it also made me realize that in order to have a character moving smoothly, it takes a lot of hours of work. The amount of smoothness needed is also depending on the project you're working on. Sometimes a more rigid way of motion is required.
For my first experiment I came up with a character named Plurk. A character living in a kitchen cupboard and secretly wishing for a new dress. The veggies knew about this wish and decided to help her. The animation is far from perfect, considering the lack of lighting, smooth motion and timing but helped me gain valuable insights on the key elements of a good animation.
