Thanks so much for these tutorials they are so useful. But I think I have missed something because I have a big big problem with my character. When I move a joint, the joint next to it just gets longer and longer. So if I select the route joint, and move it around, then all the other joints around it will strech as far as they can. Please help because I cannot find it in any of the other vids. But thanks for the tutorials anyway :D

OH MY GOD!! im an animation student and we were taught to first use the connection editor to make one joint curl the joint next to it before setting the driven keys. and im surprised coz i never knew that selecting the joints one at a time had the exact same effect.thank you sooo much coz you just saved me 10 minutes that i wouldve used on the connection editor thing! *goes off to kill my professor*
