The video does not work. All I get is a picture.

I'm doing the Anatomy of the Human Body. I can only download videos, I can't see them directly in the browser. I can only see the image in the browser. Is there any way that I can watch the video in the browser ?
Asked for help
Hi, I did the 2 minute gesture poses. I need help to find out how I can improve. I am not sure, if I am doing this right.

Hey, Jóhannes! I think you got the idea of simplification, that's good. Now, see if you can work a bit more on the idea of FLOW and continuity - one big thing about gesture is that it helps all the parts feel cohesive and connected into a "whole". So see if you can think more in terms of motion between the parts rather than the parts themselves - for example, draw lines that show how the torso flows into the limbs (instead of drawing the torso and the limbs as separate shapes). But keep on keeping it simple. If it helps, imagine that you're drawing not the figure, but the movement itself, as if the body was made of "pure energy" instead of solid matter. This may sound a bit abstract at first, but with practice things begin to make more sense. Here's a quick draw over I made over a few of your drawings to help illustrate what I mean. Hope this helps.
