How to animate a character jumping through a hoop

Animating a character jumping through a hoop requires precise timing. Begin by creating keyframes for the crouch, takeoff, mid-air, and landing. Pay special attention to the arc of the jump, ensuring the character follows a smooth trajectory. Adjust the timing for the character to remain in the air long enough to go through the hoop, and include a subtle stretch during the jump. Add a slight squash when the character lands to show impact.
