Action pose, mid-jump. Do kids still play with jump ropes?

An East Asian boy aged 7-9 caught in mid-jump with a jump rope.  He is wearing a heathered gray t-shirt, black shorts, and red sneakers.

Jump Rope Animation

It’s just a simple little stick figure jumping rope, but it’s my first ever animation.  I made the frames in Illustrator and animated them in Photoshop.  It consists of ten frames at .05 seconds each, so a rate of 20 frames a second.  I figured out the timing by singing “Miss Mary Mac” at the tempo that goes with jumping rope and set the speed to match that. (Though it still might be just a bit too fast, I’m not sure.) It’s not very fancy, but I’m proud of it.  smiley 15

I may have overdone her bouncy hair a bit, though.
