How to animate a character jumping on a trampoline

When animating a character jumping on a trampoline, focus on the anticipation and the bounce. The key poses should be the character’s crouch before the jump, the stretch of the jump, and the compression when hitting the trampoline. Use squash and stretch to exaggerate the bounce, adding secondary actions like hair or clothing moving with the jump. The character’s body should react to the trampoline’s springiness.
