Prompt

Animate the character taking a relaxed sip of coffee while holding the folder in his other hand. Start by blocking the key poses: resting position, anticipation, lifting the cup, contact with the mouth, the sip, and returning to rest. Then refine the timing and spacing, using natural hand arcs and gentle ease-in and ease-out. Coordinate the shoulder, elbow, and wrist movement, with subtle head and torso follow-through. Keep the cup aligned with his mouth during the sip and maintain a stable grip on both props, with no sliding or clipping.
