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

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

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. ![]()

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