I like this example of gorilla and human interaction animation the style is very funny may be best exerbitiond on T.V. and the music suite's the mood perfectly, its just an itresting piece of work.

Human Body Movement Study
A movment study would be a good thing to invest looking at, I'm going to look at the books and works of Charles Darwin the inventor of the evolution theory.
KID WALK
Again these are examples of 2D animation from youtube the so a great sence of charater and mood, a sence of feeling what the charter is thinking or thinking about doing the interaction for a small child is especially peromed by the second example with the young girl witch is very relevent to the performance of my child design.
APE WALK'S
These are clips I found on youtube of a 2D walk cycle's/interaction I think they display quite a good sence of the uderstanding in weight and timing this would be a good example to base my 3D walk cycle on also the looks of the characters and there design's in question are each different example's and also have a very unique style.
Start of New Project CVA 204 Industrial Exercises1 Project Brief
The brief has given alot of projects to chose from but I have chosen option C the brief says:

“We would like your students to design and animate some characters for us for a potential animated advertisement for London Zoo. We are thinking about using a visual style that reflects traditional “Claymation” techniques but will be generated using CG processes. The characters should be worked up from the following list:”
1. Willie Billiams – “A hyperactive nine year old on his first visit to London Zoo with an obsessive interest in creepy crawlies.”
2. Pocahontas Billiams – “Willie’s sister, she’s seven years old but much more relaxed and more knowing than her sibling. She wants to be a gorilla.”
3. Wilhemina Billiams – “Willie and Pocahontas’s grandmother, she thinks everything smells bad and is worried that a chimp or one of those nasty bonobos might escape and “Poo in her hat.””
4. Wee Eck McGlone – “London Zoo’s long suffering head keeper sixty, bald, curmudgeonly, Scottish, fiercely patriotic and obsessive about sweeping up dung.”
5. Cornelius – “A middle aged silver back gorilla, the most civilised and sensible occupant of the zoo by far.”
“Your students should consider the following points when working through their character designs:”
“If they work in 3D then they should concentrate on two characters from the list per animator.”
“If they work in 3D then they should be using one of the major 3D packages, i.e. Maya, Lightwave, or Max. The characters should be fully modelled to a maximum resolution of about 100,000 polygons, decent texturing is vital, we won’t accept a model alone at this stage. The model should be rigged”
“We expect to see support work on paper, development drawings and character sheets that should include orthogonal views, i.e. front, back, top, and side, and a more expressive drawing of the character in a typical pose.”
“We would like to see some expressive animation sequences that demonstrate the functionality of the rig and also character performance.”
