Sit in a chair

Sits down onto a chair behind: the hips go back and down over the feet, the body leaning forward against them, until the seat takes them; then upright, the thighs on the seat, the shins straight down, the feet flat, the hands resting on the thighs.

What it is for

Sitting at a desk, a table, a keyboard or a campfire: anyone who sits on something rather than on the ground. Put a chair, a stool or a bench behind the character first: the move backs the body about 37 cm onto a seat 45 cm high. It holds at the end, seated, so follow it with Sitting to stay there through the lines, and with Stand up from a chair to get up.

The principle it shows: the hips lead, the body counters

Nobody falls into a chair. The hips go back and down first while the body leans forward over the feet to keep its balance; only when the seat takes the weight does the body come upright. The lean and the drop happen together, in one together block, so they stay in step.

  wait 0.5 s

Each row of the together block is one part, all moving at once: the body's drop (dy) and its step back (dx), the torso's lean forward and back up, the legs bending to level thighs and the shins hanging straight, the feet flat, and the arms coming down so the hands rest on the thighs. A wait at the end keeps the last pose.

Try this

  1. Lean further forward on the way down, 24 instead of 14: a careful sit, the weight kept over the feet.

    In the program: ramp · to.part:torso 14 → 24

  2. Drop less, 120 instead of 145: a taller stool, the seat about 8 cm higher.

    In the program: ramp · to.dy 145 → 120

How it differs from Sit down

Sit down goes all the way to the ground, the knees up and the hands behind; Sit in a chair stops at a seat's height with the feet on the floor. It was made in the motion language, where a seat holds the hips.

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.
