Blocking fun

I decided to make take my blocking to the next level. I am adding a lot more detail to it.

By this I mean getting ride of the posyness. What I am trying to do is add more ease ins, more ease outs, and more overlapping action in my blocking.

Also instead of just holding a pose, and keeping it there, with my new shot since he is moving around a lot, i'm having him hold a pose and transferring his weight with it aswell. Like his arms will be the same, but his hips will be moving in one direction. And I am also trying to make sure that when he hit a pose, its not all at once.

Like have his hips there, then his arms follow for example.

On a side note, its tough animating on a nice day! So much stuff to do outside like friz, longboarding. Sometimes I wish I still had my lappy so I can take it outside and animate in my backyard or somewhere else than my room.

Geesh

Whoa I haven't updated for a while. A lot of things are happening in my life. Like work, friends, hanging out with one special person, and animation duuuh.

Got a dialogue shot done but I didn't really like it that much. Because..I didn't plan it out enough. Man I need these shots to be alive!

One thing I realized that i need to fix is my pose to posyness. I need to add more secondary action to make the character more alive and not to frozen. Also it adds some personality. Right now to me its hitting the beats. But I want to add more. I want this character to breathe and live like me.

Other than that i'm checking the Animation Mentor website everyday to see when its my lucky day to apply ha.
