The video has uploaded a little stretched but, it shows the mouse climbing up onto the window sill. When I was doing this piece thought about what the mouse is doing, how he would crouch slightly to one side before springing up to the sill. I did this to avoid a symmetrical jump, as he reaches up one hand is always higher, and his hands land on the sill one hand again lands before the other. As he gets up from hanging on the edge I dipped his head and arched his back to show a slight struggle.
This image shows the rough frames for the mouse jumping onto the window sill. It took a long time for me to work out the mouses' movement as animating is a point which I've seemed to avoid, therefore I found it quite difficult at times to get the acting and timing right, also as the mouse is jumping up I had to think about his size getting smaller as he reached the window sill top.
