(Class 3) Week 4 - Advance Body Mechanics

Hello Animators and Guests of course!

So its week 4! And we are onto finalizing our first shot, and planning out the second shot. I am happy that I had a interesting idea to begin with, hehe I guess spending sometime during the one week break in between really helped. So I went out to shot some reference of myself hanging on stuff, and feeling the nausea of being upside down, and what better place to do those things was at the children's playground! And yes for all you animators out there asking if I got the evils, oh yes! Indeed I got the evils, it was like they were afraid that I was taking videos of their kids, posting it on the Internet ooh, hang on! I guess I kinda am :(.

Anyways so the planning was good but I had a feeling it maybe a little long, I really wanted to emphasis the stickiness of the magnetized hammer, but I think I may have to end up cutting some things out :(.

As for my first shot, I think that went really well, the leg movements was very smooth, and I was very happy with the way it turned out, it was still a little retro scope feel to it, and I feel I could have pushed some of the moments a little bit more, but overall I was very happy :). Please have a look, and don't report me to those children's parents please, they are only there as backdrops nothing else.

Cheers,
Meng The hobbit.
