Telling tales - animating

I have 11 seconds left to do and desided to split this up into 6 seconds and 5 seconds. For the first section of 5 seconds, I have the girl celebrating as she has got the ball through the hoop first try.In the story board we have the brother looking shocked, but as I've been doing the animation, I know the only way to make him express emotion is by head and arm movent. so a close up shot of him looking shock wouln't work. 

I combined the 3 sections in the storyboard, to have a wide shot of the girl celebrating and the brother's reaction, happing at the same time. But I soon learnt that I didn't have any more actions for the brother to do after he looks at his sister, with out him reapeating himself too much or just standing still, so I decided to split the scene into two section, with different camera angles.

I first of all got the girls dance right, this took me a lot of thinking about, and reference videos to do. Her arms would look wierd, they're rotate the wrong way when playing back, I couldn't get the timings right, so much was going wrong. Maya then crashed on me, and I lots 2 hours of work. but I saw this as an opportunity to go back the next day and start over with the dance, and lucky i had some playblast to work from.

I had orignailly cut the scene into 2 second and 4 seconds but this didn't cut nicely so I picked a frame where I thought it would (frame 60), did a playblast video to check it worked, I thought it did so I was then able to render out the two parts.
