Cool.

If I might offer a suggestion it would be to move the camera smoothly
upwards and to the right so the person stays completely in frame for the
whole movie.  I think the result would look like somebody walking up a down
escalator.

This would have a couple of advantages:

- It would allow you to study the walking motion in detail to see how it
might be improved without waiting for the chap to re-enter the frame.

- It would allow you to increase the window dimensions or number of frames
without increasing the file size, since you only need him to climb two
stairs before you loop.

If you want to get really carried away you could film somebody walking up an
escalator (or stairs) and see how the motion compares to your blob man.

Looking forward to future iterations of the green stair climber :-)

1)  ROTFLOL as for the story about the 11 month old girl's reaction.  I showed
my 15 month old boy. Over the course of a minute he twice pointed to the screen
to shout "Dehdeh" (which in Zacharese is distinct from the word for father,
"Dadee".

2)  As for the escalator effect, I actually published that here months ago, and
that's the reason for the apology.

3) Thanks for the advice on the leg bending.

4) <grumble>  As for the physical impossibility of the other stair structure,
OKAY YOU GUYS here's a fix!
(No cruelty to 11 month olds intended)  ;-)

I Showed this one to Zoe, she spotted it on my machine and pulled her self
up on tip-toes at my desk to have a look, then got very angry and started
shouting at it.
