Congrats on all the views.

Skype has the ability to share screens now. I do it with my son in Korea.
You make a video call first.
Then hit the share button as shown here.

Well, been a while since I tinkered with this, kinda forgot where I was at so I fixed buddy's arm here and re-rendered
Since this is a WIP, I suggest that you wait until his feet touch the ground before bringing his arms down.

That's a very good thing.

Robcat,
Here are some things to consider if you haven't already.
• Whether the animators should animate the bus.
If they did, the sound effects, motion, timing and such of the bus would contribute to their scene.
There could be a lot of interesting goings on that the audience could imagine while the bus is in the shot,
such as the interaction of the bus driver with the riders, and with other passengers, and even with the bus itself.
• Having the curb concrete be go into the street.
This would be a bit more realistic and may feel more comfortable to the viewers.
• Adding a drain.
This could add an additional prop and help asymmetrize the composition a bit more.
Being an additional prop could give animators the opportunity to do more "business."
• Add more space to the sky area so that it is not almost equal to the street shot.
A composition adjustment and the opportunity for more business.
• Have the trash can more appropriate to the scene.
The can as it now stands may be more appropriate to an alley than a well kept street scene.
The grass, hedge, and bench have set that standard.
Of course, the standard can be changed, but should be consistent with the other props.
• What the goal of the animation is, clearly stated.
. . . running the gamut from amateur to Siggraph Animation Festival contender.
• Not being in a hurry to get started on the actual character animation within the scene.
Those that are chomping at the bit to animate can do that in an action and just add it to the completed set later.
• Having two completed pieces, one that contains all the submitted animation, the other that contains the prime work, perhaps voted on or decided upon by a panel of "experts."
Well, that's about it . . . just some thoughts for your consideration.

I like the bus stop idea a lot . . . less to go wrong.
An animator could populate it as needed for his/her bit.
Using the room could cause continuity issues . . .
having one animator work with exiting a character
and another entering the same character.

Thanks!

Very good start!
Three things to work on . . .
Hip action weight shift.
Head movement.
More shoulder swing.
You probably know this,
but it's very important to study walk footage.
