First animation is not bad :D Stickman is moving with power, that's look nice, but i dont like reaction of the fall.

In second animation i cant see power of the trow. Camera movement looks good. Spacing is nice and poses too, but delete an effect behind knife.
Aaaand, why gray shadow is on his foots?

I don't quite understand. Do I need to wind up the throw a little more in order to emphasize power? I made the board recoil from the hit to show it.

Added effect to a short animation :p

Ah, I see what you mean. Thanks!

I like how you animated the impression that the sword was heavy; however, seeing as how you already established the weight of the sword, you should have animated the swing with that same level of anticipation; you can't just heave something heavy from off of the ground up to your shoulder, then immediately off of your shoulder. It's heavy. Also, the camera movements were solid until after the swing, where they got very inconsistent; try working on that. :o
