I have decided to carry on with my animation as opposed to straying behind and fixing up small errors which I may be just being too picky about, and then once I have got my 20 seconds animated, I will go back and fix parts I am unhappy with.
Therefore I then went on to 'the pull' scene. After the matchstick woman accepts the match stick man's offer to hold hands, I then decided to have him pull her in to the kiss. I think this is really good in emphasising the anticipation for the first five seconds of the video as it is the first real movement of the characters. This took me forever to do because I really didn't know how to go about it. I had to record my friends pulling each other as a reference because I kept getting confused with who moves first, etc. when going straight in to animate it. Having a reference REALLY helped, because I could follow the path of movement from my friends, and always look back at it. Obviously there is an issue, that physically my characters and my friends are very different, so I did exaggerate my match stick characters movements, quite a bit more.
In terms of how happy I am with it, I think it looks okay. I don't know if I am looking at it too much that my characters may seem a little too 'bendy', but this may be something I could look at afterwards to clean it up a bit. I wanted it to be exaggerated so that the audience could distinguish what the matchstick man is doing, but I am unsure if it may be too exaggerated, and the matchstick man does not need to bend as much as I have him doing so.
