So this is my first time participating in an animation challenge. I don't expect to win but what I do expect to do is focus on one project with the sole purpose of learning, participating and improving. Below is my very rough first blocking. I am going to really try push my poses, I will be adding some squash and stretch…
Back with a first polishing pass focusing on foot contacts, finger and wrist movement. Once again, any feedback is appreciated. https://syncsketch.com/sketch/160239#199448
Solid start man. based on what you said so far, I think you can take it in two divergent directions. If the box is spitting the character out, it could be more comedic, the character could be less confident and acrobatic, little less than a perfect landing, and transition to idle pose with less self assurance. the other…
Thank you for the feedback, will go ahead and start pushing the timings and the poses. Will also take a look at the lid, I thought it would bea distraction but also saw it as an opportunity to add a bit more interest to the shot! Will play around, thanks.
In terms of composition, maybe you could look at changing where that box lid lands, to keep her silhouette as clean as possible. Instead of it being right behind her, maybe have it shoot off screen to the left over a few frames as she jumps out.
Thanks man, I have gone the more "Confident" route. I have changed the final pose entirely to give it a nice readable silhouette. Really excited to see what else I can do with this one. Plenty of time off work coming up so that means plenty of hours to dedicate to this! Will be updating with my second blocking in the next…
Thank you once again @AGoodFella will have a play with the final pose, the one I have currently is the most readable I landed on but will tweak it some more, get it feeling nice.
