Jump

A jump on the spot: a sink with the arms swung back, the spring up with the arms high, the knees tucked, and a landing that gives.

What it is for

A game's up key, and any cartoon jump on the spot: over a gap, onto a box, for joy. The height is the game's: the character leaves the ground at 0.14 s and lands at 0.51 s.

The principle it shows: anticipation and follow-through

Anticipation and follow-through. The sink with the arms swung back comes before the spring, so you see the jump coming; the knees giving after the landing take the weight, so it lands.

Try this

Lean into the sink 32 degrees instead of 18: a deep wind-up before the spring.
In the program: ramp · to.part:torso 18 → 32
Look up 20 degrees on the sink instead of 6: eyes on where it is going.
In the program: ramp · to.part:head -6 → -20

How it differs from the others

Jump with anticipation is the animators' slow version, every stage held longer; Jump for joy bounces round and round; Hop on an arc hops across and back.

Works on

The two in the film above, and what the move turns on each: worked out by the build, which plays the move on each body and checks what moves. Nobody types this table.
Who	Moves?	What moves
Sunny (one of the six people)	yes	whole body, body, head, arms, legs
Grump (an animal on four legs)	yes	whole body, body, head, front legs, back legs, tail, ears
