Progress of Dummy Laugh

This is my first attempt at doing the animation for J.B. It's about time we started on this, man! The way I'm approaching this animation that goes from a laugh to a giggle, is to start on the big movements first. From here I started from the upper chest area using the rotation tool on it's "Y" axis.

Then I did the head next. It's not written in stone but maybe I should gone for the lower body, next. Oh well whatever. Got me thinking though, for such a simple movement that we do naturally and on instinct, there's a lot of thought process that goes into animation. Like how may times and how far back does he rock backwards and forwards, how low and how many times does he drop his body, etc. This is the first time I used J.B's dummy model, it ain't to bad however I don't know why the legs also get affected when I select the lower pelvis.

UPDATE: News just in it looks like sh*t to everyone else. I need reference to show laughing, this animation looks like he's puking hard or doin a forced blow job, according to J.B. I need some references.
