(Class 2) Week 9 Animation Mentor - Psychology of Body Mechanics

Hey There fellow Animators!

Week 9! Boy is this class going really quick! So after doing the things that was critique from my mentor I did my best to correct those things, its definitely getting there, and I think you can see it when you compare to the ones I did before. However because I have been constantly worrying about getting the hips right and arcs right, I totally forgot about adding the push off for the legs! And my mentor was right, it felt like Stewie is being pulled up out of the sky, because I didn't have that stretch on the leg to make it look like Stewie is pushing off.

The major thing for sure I learnt in this week is understanding not only about hip arcs, but how the hips are also controlled by the ankles of the foot, that move does start off from the hips but they are also slightly governed by the fact that its you feet that pushes it into position, kinda crazy thinking but seems to send a light bulb into my head.

So anyways I hope you guys like this version of the animation you will see that things are getting better, but obviously still needs a lot of work.

Cheers,
Meng
