Facial animation help, please!

[dysturbation]

So, I've been dinking around, figuring out coding and spriter, making characters and items. I used the extended sample character template. Everything is working fine, except when the character turns sideways, the bob on the face animation is ridiculous, and the idle animation causes the face to drop really far.

 

I haven't messed with the .scml file at all, and my images line up with the sample images. No changes in image dimensions. I've been shifting and adjusting things for a few hours now and I'm not making any progress.

Can anyone either tell me how to fix this, or show me an example template that I can use for reference? To give you an idea, here's an image of what the face is doing.
