Ok, I am not 100% sure I can get this done (Super Busy Lifestyle at the mo),
so I'm just gonna play every now and then and hopefully come up with enough for the challenge.

I've been thinking full characters are a bit of a stretch time and skillwise for me, so I'm dropping
back a few levels and having a VERY simple character to animate. Going to try and get some
expressive movements out of a simple shape (not so simple as a ball like I should be doing but
its a start in the walking backwards before you can fall technique).

I had a few minutes tonight to start dabbling so I tested my theory on the rigging/skinning and
getting the envelopes right and just having fun with it, it went exactly as I expected which is
rare.

That's awesome! The body squishes exactly how I want mine to! Did you do it with bones and painted weights? Or is there a rigging trick that you used for it?
