   Topic by Tineung · Dec 2015 · Home› Animation Showcase & Critiques

   Hi guys, i'm working on an animation that for some reason just doesn't look right to me. I'm not sure if i've not chosen the best movements or it's just my animating that needs a ton of work. Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated :-) https://vimeo.com/147503982

   To echo Hito's feedback I think it is definitely just the timing of the strikes, once you add some holds in there will look much more fluid :)

   Movement looks alright. The poses can be pushed more in many instances. timing of the strikes are very even... I think some variation in that will improve the "feel" drastically. instead of 1-2-3-4; it could be 12----3-4; or 1-2-3----4; etc. try uploading to syncsketch and/or include a frame counter (from maya HUD or…
