Advice on animation sequence
I create this https://youtu.be/tu_gtc7OnlE -
and need advice on general movements of woody character.
Fx I don't know how to cast shadow on character when needed.
At the beginning, when woody climbs up on the desk, there is no shadows casted on legs as well as when he drops on the ground. For on-table shadows I used background shader.
Suggestions appreciated.
Happy new year!

I used masks and applied effects to make it look darker.

To make this work properly you need to track the footage (if it is footage) and then from the track create a 3D scene with the table and put your character on it. Create a light to match the footage and then render out a shadow pass and comp the lot in After Effects.
