Child balancing on surface
Here is an example of animation principles that have been recorded. This boy is anticipating to jump down from this log. Notice the way he tries to keep his body balanced as he walks along the log, tilting side to side with an excited spring in his step. This also shows psychological anticipation because you get a feeling of his personality and the stunt he is about to pull. The way he stops before he jumps shows the preparation for the action. As he gets near the end he builds up momentum to jump. The way he kicks his leg when he is in the air shows a playful and slightly cheeky mannerism that defines his age and his character,
This video will also be useful reference for animating a child character.
