Help! with animation

Hi i'm trying to animate my character I set my animation settings to 25 pal then check that my real time is on 24 fps then I move my slider of 1.04 to 1 but every time I  do this my model collapses on itself.

Animation- Followthrough and Character animation

These are my last two animations for the animation class my follow through and my character animation.

Fixed textures and started Rigging

I had a problem with where my Textures connected because I had imported my Alpha channel into my Maya scene but now the line has gone In Image 3. I also changed her face slightly by giving her more of a chin when I got feedback from my previous most on Modelling I also elongated her tail because I had underestimate the length it should have been to wrap around and hold onto her mic. I have also added lips to her face which I do like and I am happy with how she is. I am also is the process of rigging her, I've finished her body rig and i'm going to move onto her tail.

close up shots experiment

I was advised to add some close up shots from different angels with the hint of a crowd, so while going through my storyboard I have done two tests Test A has the crowd not lit and test B has them slightly light like in my influence map. which one do you think works best.

I've finished my modelling and texturing most of my scene but I need help deciding which background to go with for the stage.

New Background

I need to change my background because from feedback it was distracting the audiences eye from the main performance.I dulled down the original background and also did a new influence map to help me create new curtains for the stage. Please comment below on which one you think works the best
