Week 4: Overlapping Action / Basic Polish in Animation

Overlapping Action

This week we continue to work with ball with tail animation. It appears that there is a big room for improvement. In my first version I messed up with not only tail motion but also with balls action. Thus I started from correcting the motion arcs of the ball itself. Then I focused on the tail’s motions and overlapping movement. What is more, I tried to add more anticipation before my ‘squirrel’ jumps. I animated a little flick of the tail before ‘squirrel’ starts to move.

Ball With Tail

Basic Polish

This week we polish our living boxes animation. Last time movement of my box which wakes up and tries to turn over looked very unnatural. It happened because I did not focus on the anticipation before turning over. Thus, it looked like, the box suddenly has enough power to jump from its olace with no swinging. I fixed this issue in the new version of animation.

This week we make three different emotional poses and what can be more emotional than ballet?
