That's a more common speed, and as you can see, every eight frames bam, bam, bam, so about three times a second. And let's take a look at this in more detail. So here you can see all the poses, and on the top row, the 24 frame per second timing pattern that I've used, and on the bottom row, a 30 frame per second pattern if you're following along with that timing. And if I go forward, we'll color code the different poses, so the passing is in red, the down in blue, and the up, the high point, is in green. So as you can see, we have, in this case I think that's a pretty even timing, mostly spaced out on twos because it's so fast, we're really running out of places to nudge the different poses back and forth. We probably could have made number three as two, and really gone fast into it. But that was…
