Please, I need to find out how to make my films more smooth with animation.  Tell me what you think of this please.

Re: Smoothness Test

There is a difference between smooth and lifelike. What you have here is constant smooth animation, but it doesn't look very life like. However, an actual person speeds up and slows down for every single movement and does not move at a constant pace. Personally, it is what style of animation you are going for. If you want to look more life like, ease in and out a lot more. Remember, even if it is a tiny movement that you can barely see, it could be an important part of making it ease in and out.

Thanks, I heard that this really helps.  I'm probably going to make some sort of test with ease in and ease out.
