Background-Park
(小漩: Thank you for your reply. I try to draw the pictures in a more simple way, but I would like to keep the color scheme as it could show the sunshine of daytime.)
(Ellis: Please don't mind, but i think the color scheme has problem. For example, the color of tree's highlight is not suitable, it would not appear. you can keep the concept of sunshine mood, but please do more layer and adjust the grayscale and choose the suitable color.)
Dear groupmates,
I have created the Park backgroud, please take a look and give me feedback or comment.
(if you cannot watch the SWF, Please CLICK the movie!)

PS. And I have found many video for our character movement and style. Have a nice weekend XD.
reference. From the reference, I would suggest that you can animate most of
the arm actions by classic tweening the arm symbol, while it has more
complicated distortions, you can do it by drawing frame by frame. Try to
work out with the director and animation director, and see which scene in
the story would be most suitable to apply such movement. Should you have
more questions, please let me know."

For the more efficiency and easy looking schedules, I add the new function call DIPITY, which can set our work flow as a time line, or flip book.
It can also add the video sources on it.
Please feel free to edit it.
Presentation
After the presentation, we can improve our presentation skill on next time.
-more eyes contact
-use short sentence
-don’t speak the script directly
Beside this, we know that we may waste time because we are not developing the story together.(But we chosen the concept1 and develop it already.)
-avoid the character turn around
-use more 34fp of the character >> more comfortable
-use outline to hide the joints e.g. more tapering or use different border
-can use brush to outline
