Some more stuff from the animation basics module. I thought I’d publish these before moving on to the acting module starting tomorrow. I might or I might not have the patientce to go back to these later.

Hogan taking a bow. He just finished a virtuoso piano concerto. Standing ovations.

Meet Blake. I might use this character for my final project. He’s a bit weird around the waist. Like he bends in strange ways, so you have to counter-animate a lot, stretch him and stuff. But I like the fact that he doesn’t look like a school rig, like Hogan and Norman.

It was tricky to make the run cycle work in space. Since the movements are so fast, it’s hard to get nice fluid motions. I think I succeeded with the legs and feet. The arms however I have edited and edited, but they just refuse to swing. “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.”
