ust a little bit more. Now one of the things that you think I want to do is let's go ahead and just make him a little bit more impatient. So I am going to select his left toe and we are going to tap his toe.
So I am going to just give myself a few frames in, so let's go into Frame 2. And I'm just going to set another keyframe, which basically just sets everything at 0. So I am going to go move forward about 4 frames, and then just move his toe up like he's tapping it. And then at Frame 10, which is another 4 frames in, I'm just going to go ahead and bring that back down to 0. Let's go ahead and see how that feels. That looks good, but I think it will have more emphasis if we did it one more time, if I add one more tap on his foot.
So again, I am going to go ahead and select that toe. And so he taps here and let's go ahead and start another tap at Frame 12. Frame 16 let's rotate that up just a little bit. And then Frame 20, it's actually going to come back down naturally. So let's see how that works. Okay, I think I need to bring this one up at 16 just a little bit more, so let's see. At Frame 6 I have this at 15. Okay, so let's go ahead and have this at negative 15 like we have on the other frame and make this a little bit more even.
So now what we have here is we have a moving hold, so his hips and his spine are just readjusting slightly to give him the illusion of life. And then in addition to that we added one more little thing, which was tapping his toe, just to give a little bit more character, a little bit more life, to the scene. So as you can see, a moving hold brings your character to life. Let's go ahead and move on to the rest of the scene.
