Feelin' Lucky!

[pasithea]

There's times when I just can't believe how lucky I am! Today I went to animate my jumps and bounces for my animation class 'n' I decided I was gonna look through some video tapes to see if I could find decent footage of someone jumping up and down.... So I sat down in the livingroom floor to fiddle with the VCR and I noticed these little heads shooting up and down on the other side of the fence.... Then (being quite the observant one that I am) I noticed this HUGE balloon castle filled with kids! My neighbor's were having a birthday party for their child! Remembering that there must be an adult present for one of those balloon trampoline rental thingies, I hopped up on the fence, got their attention and asked if I could video-tape for a little bit. They said sure, no problem, so I got several minutes of super-springy highly animated bounces in video to look at for reference while working. I don't think I could possibly have asked for a better reference for Persimmon bouncing! Life is good! :)
