Refining and Re-Blocking!!!

Well Week 4 is coming to a close and I need to add my inbetweens and spline my animation to hand into Animation Mentor. Week three was a week of breakdowns and re-blocking just a tad bit. I was so happy to see my critique this week, My Mentor Allison Saunders was a huge help and pointed out several things to up the quality of my work. I feel confident I will turn out something awesome for my final piece... Oh and here is the video from last week.

Oh yea sorry I left the controls on this week by accident... :P

Blocking!!!

Jus Blocking out my first pass here from week 2, so moving on to Week 3 to add re-block most likely and then add in the breakdowns so I can start to see my arcs better.

Just incase you wanted to know the definition of Blocking>>>>>>>>

Blocking - Laying down the main story-telling key poses of your scene. Not worrying about in-betweens or break-downs. The bones on which to build the scene. They will be in the general right place in time but even that will change as you refine and start to add the later elements i.e. Breakdowns and in-betweens.

Ok this was the beginning of a brand new workflow and I had to make sure I drew out all of my poses correctly and make sure they were solid, so here is my initial thought process/Key Drawings... Oh yea the basic Idea I was shooting for was for my character to do a butterfly kick, and his mood or attitude is that he is a brash full of himself character, anyway enjoy folks
