Base Claim:
1. A method for chaining animations, the method comprising: receiving image data that is representative of captured motion; selecting a pre-canned animation; identifying at least one parameter that is indicative of a transition point, wherein a parameter of the transition point is set based at least in part on a gesture difficulty; and chaining an animation of the captured motion and the pre-canned animation by at least displaying the captured motion and the pre-canned animation in sequence, wherein chaining the animation of the captured motion and the pre-canned animation comprises blending the animation of the captured motion to the pre-canned animation or blending the pre-canned animation to the animation of the captured motion, wherein determining that the at least one parameter is satisfied triggers the chaining the animation of the captured motion and the pre-canned animation.

Claim 3:
3. The method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein chaining the animation of the captured motion and the pre-canned animation comprises blending parameters of the captured motion to at least one of initial parameters of the pre-canned animation or ending parameters of the pre-canned animation.
